‘Scotland deserves a better Government’ - Rowley says young people and economy being let down by SNP

Iain Gray and Alex Rowley on Dunfermline High Street

LABOUR’S Alex Rowley was accompanied by the Scottish Labour Leader in a high profile visit to Dunfermline High Street as part of the Scottish election campaign.

Leader Iain Gray, who met shoppers and local residents, accused the SNP’s Alex Salmond of spinning a web of deceit right from the election campaign.

  • SNP say unemployment is down - it has RISEN by 2,000 in the past month.
  • SNP promised to write off student debt - they HAVEN’T
  • SNP claim credit for new school buildings started by Labour - their Scottish Futures Trust has FAILED to deliver a single school

From Dunfermline Mr Gray told voters: “Alex Salmond has been desperately trying to deceive voters. The facts speak for themselves and people won’t be fooled by his attempt to spin a web of deceit.

“Scotland deserves a better government. For the past four years the SNP has broken over a hundred promises and wasted too much time pushing for independence.”

Alex Rowley, Fife Labour Leader and candidate, commented: “Growing the economy and bringing jobs and skills to this area and the rest of Scotland is a priority. Labour will focus on what really matters like jobs and growing the economy. That’s the message I am taking to voters and that’s Labour’s clear priority. I also welcome Labour’s plan to create 10,000 apprenticeships for our young people who are being badly let down by the SNP, LibDems in Scotland and the Tories at Westminster – who are again supported by the Liberals.”

Mr Rowley recently welcomed news that Amazon was to create hundreds of jobs at its new distribution centre under construction near Duloch.
