SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn says voters should contrast the values of Keir Starmer's Labour with the Nationalists under John Swinney.

That was the message sent out by Sir Keir Starmer last week when one of the most staunch Tory MPs took their seat directly behind the Labour Leader in the House of Commons, before gleefully shaking his hand.

A Boris Johnson fanatic who actively campaigned for Liz Truss to be Prime Minister. Yikes. She doesn’t believe the Rwanda plan to be harsh enough, forcefully campaigned against workers’ rights and voted for cuts to public services at every turn. Shortly after she crossed the floor, Labour’s press team reportedly failed to confirm that they would refuse Nigel Farage a party membership, while a senior figure turned up on the TV to say they’d take Jacob Rees-Mogg if he fancied it.

Using the limited powers at Holyrood’s disposal John has outlined his vision to end child poverty, grow the economy, create jobs and help with the cost-of-living crisis. And, with Kate Forbes and Mairi McAllan alongside him, he has his top team on the park. Our own house is back in order, and we can get back to the business of focusing solely on the public, and their priorities.

Westminster parties may not regard themselves as complicit in the collective punishment of the Palestinian people, but history will judge them differently.
