SCOTTISH Labour leader Anas Sarwar has warned that the “stakes could not be higher” and appealed to voters to kick the Tories out of government in the general election on Thursday.

Mr Sarwar made his appeal to voters with two days to go before ballot boxes open.

“A Labour government will deliver the change that Scotland needs by cutting bills, boosting pay, tackling insecure work, creating jobs, renewing public services and delivering economic growth — but change only happens if you vote for it,” he said.

It comes as the Scottish National Party (SNP) has accused Labour of “betrayal” for failing to earmark money to compensate millions of women robbed of their state pensions by the Conservative government.

SNP candidate for North Ayrshire and Arran Patricia Gibson accused Labour after shadow paymaster general Jonathan Ashworth repeatedly refused to say if Labour had set cash aside to compensate Waspi women whose pensions were stolen when the Tories raised the state retirement age to 66.
