Scots urged to reject SNP and Tory cuts
Corbyn tries to win Scotland back for socialism

JEREMY CORBYN urged Scottish voters to reject “Tory and SNP austerity” and instead elect a Labour government “for the many, not the few” at a rally in Glasgow last night.

Returning to Glasgow’s Old Fruitmarket, where he addressed huge crowds during the first Labour leadership contest, Mr Corbyn accused the SNP of “passing on Tory austerity without putting up a fight.”

By contrast Labour will “transform our economy through investment and development” and end “tax breaks for the richest and big business,” he said.
