Speaking ahead of the statement from the First Minister on Wednesday on "Priorities for Scotland", Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Alex Cole-Hamilton said:

“My message to John Swinney is that I’m in politics to get things done and change our country for the better. It’s why I want to see him tackle the issues that matter to our communities like cutting the atrocious waits for healthcare, lifting up Scottish education, getting the economy moving and stopping sewage dumping in our rivers.

“My party will hold his government to account where it falls short. For almost all of the last 17 years, John Swinney has sat round the Cabinet table of the Scottish Government as right hand man to Nicola Sturgeon and Alex Salmond. The SNP’s failures in government are John Swinney’s failures in government.

“Now more than ever, people deserve a fair deal and people are choosing the Scottish Liberal Democrats to make that change happen.”
