Another day another manifesto.
Today it is the turn of the Scottish Liberal Democrats who will tell us what their General Election campaign is all about and what their promises are after the election. The launch will take place in Edinburgh at lunchtime today.
Speaking ahead of the launch, Mr Rennie said:
“Votes for the Liberal Democrats will stop another divisive independence referendum from the nationalists.
“With the Scottish economy teetering on the edge of a recession, the performance of Scottish education dropping down the international rankings and mental health services failing to deliver, the last thing our country needs is another divisive and distracting independence referendum.
“The Liberal Democrats are setting out a positive plan to invest in mental health and education. A modest penny on tax secures those.
“We will protect jobs in Scotland by opposing an extreme Conservative Brexit and giving people the right to reject a bad deal.
“We will keep the triple-lock on the state pension. We will scrap the Conservatives’ two-child rule for tax credits which causes the ‘rape clause’ that has outraged people in Scotland.
“We will promote a Scotland and a Britain that are open, tolerant and united.”
