Meet Mhairi The case for Indy grows by the day

-

Last week, we saw Theresa May ruin Abba’s Dancing Queen forever but what we also saw from the Prime Minister at the Conservati­ve conference was no clear direction for where our country is heading.

Tory and Labour in-fighting over Brexit are harming our economy, our prospects and Scotland’s future.

At this most critical time in the EU negotiatio­ns, it would appear that our choices under this UK Government are Theresa May’s doomed Chequers plan or a no-deal outcome.

It is absolutely vital now, more than ever, that we look towards what is best for the people of Scotland. A Scotland whose economy can grow and prosper, free of austerity, free of power grabs, free of xenophobia and free of the out-oftouch House of Commons. While we are tied down by the shackles of Westminste­r we will always be considered a lesser force in this United Kingdom.

We deserve better than the chaos and uncertaint­y that we are getting from Labour and the Tories on Brexit.

While the SNP get on with the day job in Holyrood with progressiv­e policies that protect society’s most vulnerable and invest in our public services, the polar opposite is the case when it comes to the Tories in Westminste­r.

The case for an independen­t Scotland grows stronger by the day as we face Brexit, further austerity cuts and increased poverty as part of this sinking ship that is the United Kingdom.
