Scottish Labour manifesto launch
ANAS Sarwar has launched his first manifesto as Scottish Labour leader, calling it a “route map back to stronger and better times for our country”.
Mr Sarwar said the proposals amounted to a National Recovery Plan from the ravages of the Covid pandemic.
He said rebuilding the country and boosting jobs should be the priority, not the usual constitutional arguments, and offered himself as a unifying figure.
He said he was willing to “work with anyone to rebuild the country we love”.
He said the plan would cost £4.5billion, of which £3bn would be reveneue spending and £1.5bn capital.
