Cole-Hamilton speaks ahead of cross-party summit

Speaking ahead of the cross-party summit being convened by the First Minister, Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Alex Cole-Hamilton MSP said:  

"Unlike the Scottish Conservative leader who has apparently decided to skulk at home, I will always work with others to tackle hatred and extremism.

“At this summit, I will make clear to the First Minister that the best way to win back many of those who feel disaffected is to deliver on the things that matter, like access to local healthcare, education and the cost of living.

“People have been let down by a slew of SNP failures in government, from ferries to drug deaths to long waits for treatment.

“You persuade no one by labelling them or diminishing how they feel; you need to listen to them and govern well. That’s why in every corner of the country Liberal Democrats are working hard to get things done and make peoples’ lives better.”
