Labour and SNP clash over who will end Tories’ rule

THE leaders of the SNP and Scottish Labour clashed yesterday over who is best placed to end Tory rule ahead of May’s general election.

Nicola Sturgeon launched a new SNP campaign poster showing tartan seats in the House of Commons, with the slogan “The more seats we have here, the more powers we’ll have in Scotland.”

The SNP leader told party members they had to reach “beyond those who normally vote SNP and those who voted Yes last year.”
