Cole-Hamilton comments ahead of Scottish Conservative Conference

Commenting ahead of the Scottish Conservative Party conference this weekend, Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Alex Cole-Hamilton MSP said:  

“With Douglas Ross’ backing, the Tories have crashed the economy, hammered everyone into a brutal cost of living crisis, refused to bring in a meaningful windfall tax and are demonising the desperate with their heartless small boats legislation.

“They are out of touch, out of excuses and the record-breaking Liberal Democrat by-election wins prove people want them out of government.

"Change is needed for Scotland, but Douglas Ross represents more of the divisive and dreary same."

On the calls for changes to community energy rules, Mr Cole-Hamilton added:  

“The Tories can copy our homework all they like, but they're not fooling anyone. For months, Scottish Liberal Democrats have been promoting fresh community energy plans that would see local communities get their fair share.

“Unlike the Tories, Scottish Liberal Democrats are crackling with good and original ideas.”
