STARMER

My guarantee to Daily Record readers is this: my government will be on your side... the side of working people

- KEIR STARMER

THIS election is about one thing – change. And Scotland has an opportunity to lead that change, an opportunity too important to miss.

No matter what the SNP and the Tories want to tell Record readers, Scotland will not be a spectator in this election.

No. For me, Scotland is key to delivering the change our entire country needs.

This election is the chance for Scotland to not just send a message to Westminster, but to send a government.

In just over five weeks you, the people of Scotland, have that chance. You can elect a united Labour government, with a group of Scottish Labour MPs putting communities and Scotland at the beating heart of government.

And if we are privileged enough to come in to serve, my guarantee to Daily Record readers is this: my government will be on your side - on the side of working people.

Instead of preying on the fears of working people, the government I lead will be dedicated to restoring the ordinary hope important to working Scots.

That means smashing the class ceiling. Creating opportunities for all. Delivering the high-skill, high-pay jobs of the future that Scotland needs.

Because after 17 years of SNP failure and 14 years of Tory chaos, Scotland is crying out for change.

It’s a cry I’ve heard first-hand.

Last week – launching our campaign in Glasgow – I met Karen, a call centre worker, who endured a three-year wait for her daughter’s dyslexia diagnosis under the SNP, holding her back from achieving her potential.
