Tories branded “Scotland’s Brexit party” by Dugdale

The leader of Scottish Labour has branded the Tories “Scotland’s Brexit party” as she launched a broadside against rival Ruth Davidson.

Kezia Dugdale blasted the Scottish Conservative leader for supporting a UK Government that had sold “a bunch of lies” in the run-up to June’s EU referendum.

Ms Dugdale accused Ms Davidson’s party of taking the country down a path that could lead to “years of instability”.

Scottish Tory deputy leader Jackson Carlaw shot back that Scottish Labour are “all over the place” and “chaotic”.

But speaking in Edinburgh yesterday, Ms Dugdale said: “We are the only party that wants what the Scottish people want – a strong Scotland inside the UK and maintaining our relationship with Europe.

“Ruth Davidson cannot escape the fact that her party is taking us headlong on a path out of the EU.

“We saw that clearly from yesterday’s political cabinet at Chequers.

“A path that, at worst, will weaken our economy and, at best, will create years of instability.

“Senior members of the government she supports are the same people who eight weeks ago Ruth Davidson said were lying to the British public.”

Ms Davidson was a prominent supporter of the Remain campaign during the EU referendum – and publicly criticised some now-Cabinet Minister’s during a televised campaign debate.

The Tories’ Mr Carlaw said: “The truth is that Kezia Dugdale isn’t able to control the chaos we’re seeing in Labour right now.

“But with policies that would force even low-income earners to pay more in tax, it seems she’s determined to make things even worse.

“Her problem is that people understood Labour only too well in May and voted instead for Ruth Davidson’s Conservatives to provide the effective opposition lacking for nine nears.”
