ANAS Sarwar has ruled out income tax rises if Scottish Labour wins the next Holyrood election in 2026.
The MSP made the ambitious pledge to voters as his party starts to look beyond the UK general election on July 4.
Launching the Scottish Labour manifesto in Edinburgh yesterday, Sarwar described change north of the Border as a “two-stage process” which involved the removal of the Tories at Westminster and the SNP at Holyrood.
But he could not offer a firm date for when the two-child cap on benefits would be scrapped, despite insisting his party was still opposed to the cruel Tory policy.
The manifesto also outlined Scottish Labour would shake-up the laws governing football to allow “fans to have a greater say” in the way the sport is run.
Speaking to party members and candidates, Sarwar said: “The manifesto we have published reflects much of what the UK Labour manifesto outlined last week, demonstrating what a UK Labour government will deliver in office.
