Cole-Hamilton responds to English Local Elections

Responding to the English local election results and John Swinney's comments this morning, Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Alex Cole-Hamilton said:

"It's clear from the spectacular results that the Liberal Democrats are putting up that not only is the Conservative Party toast but if you want to stop Reform we are the party you should put your trust in.

"It takes a bit of cheek for John Swinney to talk about populism, deception and false hope. When is he going to cut class sizes, dual the A9 and abolish the council tax like his party have been promising for almost twenty years?

"People deserve better. With a year to go until the Scottish Parliament election, my party will be setting out plans to give people swift access to local healthcare and set their communities back on the right track."
