Responding to John Swinney’s interview on BBC Radio Scotland earlier today, Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Alex Cole-Hamilton MSP said:

“John Swinney is stoking old divisions because he cannot deliver for people in the here and now. The SNP are trying to distract everyone with the squirrel of separation; Scotland deserves better.

“My party have got a realistic plan to get everyone the healthcare they need when they need it, bring down bills, give every child the best start in life and fix our ferries and roads to get Scotland moving again.

“In many constituencies, we are on the verge of winning against the SNP, but wherever you are, every vote for the Scottish Liberal Democrats on the second peach ballot paper will deliver change with fairness at its heart.”
