Taxes would be higher under the SNP

Cathy Jamieson MSP, Labour’s campaign chair, said:

“Scotland faces a choice next May; education with Labour or separation with the SNP.

“People in Scotland know that Labour will invest in schools, skills academies and science, but they have never been sure what impact separating Scotland from the UK would have on taxes.”

“Official figures released last week now show that increased taxes are inevitable with the SNP, unless they intend to slash spending on schools, hospitals and transport.

“People are beginning to wonder what to believe from the SNP. Their economy spokesperson says taxes will come down, their leader in London says they will stay the same, but their campaign manager says they will increase. No wonder people are starting to question how competent an SNP government would be.”
