Planning for the future in Perth
He said Labour were ready to accept “reckless Tory policies”.
He said: “We have a Labour shadow chancellor, pledging to keep Tory tax cuts for the rich, while planning a further £18 billion of cuts.
“Or a Labour shadow minister targeting people on benefits and trying to prove that they can be even more callous than the Tories.
“And it leaves us with the disgraceful position of seeing a Labour leader who wants to cap child benefits, but not bankers’ bonuses.
“That is unforgivable. Every day Labour are showing Scotland exactly who they are. A party willing to sell out its founding values for a sniff of power.”
He said the SNP was the only party arguing for “investment in public services, help with the cost of living, rejoining the EU and for Scotland’s right to choose our own future”.
He said: “The SNP is the only party standing on that positive platform and that is exactly why we must, and we will, win this General Election.
“We know the Tories are on the way out, and good riddance to them. But Keir Starmer will ignore Scotland if SNP MPs are not in Westminster to ensure our voice is heard.
“Who else will stand up for Scotland, Labour’s branch manager?
“After all, Anas Sarwar has promised us that he’ll stand up to Keir Starmer. I’m sure Sir Keir is terrified at the thought, quaking in his boots. He can’t stand up to his own Scottish Labour MPs – both of them defied his orders on Gaza and lined up behind Keir Starmer.
“He can’t even stand up to his councillors. This month we’ve had the shameful spectacle of Inverclyde Labour increasing council tax by more than 8% against his direct orders. Anas Sarwar isn’t going to stand up for Scotland – he would bend the knee to Sir Keir Starmer.
“The only outcome Westminster fears is an SNP victory – and the more SNP MPs we have the louder Scotland’s voice will be.”
Scottish Tory chairman Craig Hoy said: “Humza Yousaf’s sadly predictable and tired speech made it painfully clear the SNP have nothing to offer Scots. The chaotic and distracted SNP government is failing to deliver for ordinary people, while its leader has retreated to the nationalist base.
“Scots can see clearly that the nationalists are the party of soaring drug deaths, dodgy campervans, and everyone knows their plans to turn off the taps in the North Sea will pull the plug on 100,000 jobs.
“When it comes to the General Election, only a vote for Scottish Conservatives will stop the SNP.”
