Murray says Tory manifesto is full of empty promises

Ahead of the launch of the Scottish Tory manifesto Shadow Scotland Secretary Ian Murray says the manifesto is the last gasp of an irrelevant party.

Mr Murray said: “Tomorrow Rishi Sunak will venture to Scotland and lightweight figure Douglas Ross will come out of hiding to try and convince Scots to forget the last 14 years.

“Voters can see the Scottish Tories’ empty promises for what they are – the desperate last gasp of an irrelevant party.

“The Tories have zero credibility talking about jobs after they gambled with the economy and sent people’s mortgages soaring.

“Oil and gas will be part of Scotland’s energy mix for decades to come, and a Labour government will invest to create 69,000 clean energy jobs and establish a publicly-owned energy company headquartered here in Scotland.

“We have achance to get the Tories out of office in just 10 days time – let’s make sure we take this opportunity.

“Vote Labour on 4th July to replace the Tories, end the broken status quo and secure a better future for Scotland.”
