In a speech later in Edinburgh, Scottish Conservatives leader, Russell Findlay, will say that cost of living pressures will define the Scottish Parliamentary election in May.
He believes this is the number one concern for everyone in the country.
The choice, according to the Conservatives is another five years of “wasteful spending” by the SNP of a new era in which the Tories will reduce bills. The way this will be done is contained in a letter addressed to First Minister, John Swinney which is being sent to him today.
Mr Findlay said: “Cost-of-living pressures remain the number one concern of people across Scotland, which is why this should and will be the defining issue of the Holyrood election.
“Voters face a simple choice in a few months’ time. Either five more years of the SNP and other left-wing parties hitting them with more tax rises, or our positive plan to bring down bills by focusing on growing the economy.
“The Scottish Conservatives will fight for Scotland’s strivers and champion the virtues of lower taxation. Our common-sense approach will help build a stronger Scotland of opportunity for everyone.
“And in the forthcoming SNP budget, John Swinney also faces a clear choice.
“His track record gives serious cause for concern as he’s either backed or imposed every single SNP tax increase. Instead of increasing taxes, he should give Scots a break.”
