SNP financial strategy is late, incompetent and unsustainable

Responding to the Scottish Government’s medium term financial strategy, Scottish Liberal Democrat economy spokesperson Jamie Greene MSP said:

“The SNP’s economic thinking is late, incompetent and unsustainable.  

“There’s next to nothing in here about how to help small and medium sized enterprises which are the backbone of our economy. There is next to nothing on how the government will lower the burden of red tape or make it more attractive for people to start a business.

“There is also nothing about getting people back to work by tackling health and mental health waits. We are spending millions on social security for people who could get back to work if they could get the operation or mental health support that they so badly need.

“If you want a sensible, growing economy and decent public services then it’s time to vote Scottish Liberal Democrats and turf the SNP out of office once and for all.”
