Independence would be like Brexit on steroids

Posted by Media Team | Updated 2019-12-02

Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie has today warned that Scottish independence would be bad for business as he visited the Fudge Kitchen in Edinburgh.

Mr Rennie said:

"Independence would be like Brexit on steroids. It would mean a huge blow to the economy and less money for public services.

The SNP's own growth commission forecasts a decade of austerity and spending restraint.

"What Scotland needs is to put the constitutional chaos behind us and focus on building a brighter future by investing in mental health, education and tackling the climate emergency.”

Offering New Hope for Health

The SNP cannot keep using the pandemic as an excuse for the issues the NHS is facing. 15 years of mismanagement have brought our health service to its knees. Patients and staff desperately need new hope and deserve better than ministers who seem determined to instead turn their attentions towards independence. New hope is exactly what the Scottish Liberal Democrats will offer at the elections this May.
