Blair attacks SNP sums Print E-mail

Prime Minister Tony Blair today attacked the “substantial risk” to Scotland's economy posed by the SNP's “uncosted spending commitments and sums that do not add up”.

Jack McConnell, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, meeting in Glasgow, said that voting for the SNP on May 3 would cost Scottish families £5,000 more than staying with Labour.

Prime Minister Tony Blair said: "Scotland is a great economic success story. There are 250,000 more Scots in work than there were in 1997 and the employment rate is amongst the very best in Europe. Our plans for education, skills and training will undoubtedly build on this success.

"The SNP would put all that economic stability at risk. Their tax and spending policies just do not add up.

"So the choice for every family in Scotland is clear and as this campaign goes on I am confident that people will understand which party has the policies to make Scotland even more successful than it has been over the last decade."

Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown warned that Labour would later this week expose a major monetary flaw in the SNP’s economic policy that would “chase business investment away from Scotland”.

First Minister Jack McConnell said: "It is patriotic to want the best for your country. It is not patriotic to make Scotland the highest taxed part of the UK. It is patriotic to keep a cool head, look at facts and fight for what's best for Scottish families and Scottish jobs.

"It is not anti-Scottish to be anti-independence. But it is patriotic to do the hard graft of leading, doing and getting results."
