SCOTLAND’S NHS is under threat from both Tories, who would “sell it off to Trump,” and the SNP, who have “mismanaged it for over a decade,” the Scottish Labour leader cautioned today.

Richard Leonard made the warning as he joined Helen McFarlane, Labour candidate for Airdrie and Shotts, on the campaign trail at Airdrie’s Monklands Hospital.

He said: “Be in no doubt: you cannot trust the Tories with our NHS — they opposed its creation, and they are intent on destroying it once and for all if we leave the EU.
