ONLY THE SNP IS FIGHTING SCOTLAND’S CORNER
The SNP Government is “focused on delivering for Glasgow and building a more resilient Scotland,” Kaukab Stewart MSP has said following the First Minister’s speech in Bute House this morning.
Announcing that his next Programme for Government will take place on 6th May 2025, one year before the Scottish parliamentary elections, First Minister John Swinney said his government is focused on the priorities of the Scottish people and will do everything it can to fix the challenges Scotland faces.
Amid increasingly turbulent economic headwinds, the First Minister is to convene a meeting of businesses and Trade Unions this week to map out our response to emerging economic realities and has called on the UK government to change course to reflect this global instability.
Commenting, Kaukab Stewart MSP said:
“Families across Glasgow will understandably be anxious about the future after the events of recent weeks.
“That’s why the First Minister is bringing forward the SNP’s programme for government to ensure we deliver for the people of Glasgow.
“We are focusing on Scotland’s priorities – eradicating child poverty, growing the economy, improving public services and tackling climate change – so that we can tackle head-on the challenges that face us.
“However, this must happen in tandem with Labour UK government action. We must see a reversal of Brexit, reversal of Labour’s National Insurance hike and the immediate nationalisation of Grangemouth.
“The SNP is fighting Scotland’s corner; serious about a fairer, wealthier future for everyone in Glasgow. It’s time for the Labour government to step up and match that action.”
