SCOTTISH Labour leader Anas Sarwar said today that his party’s plans could kickstart an economic revival that would reinvigorate the high street.

He was speaking as Scotland’s Covid-19 restrictions were eased, allowing cafes, beer gardens, non-essential shops and museums to reopen.

Mr Sarwar said that the last year “has been the toughest of our lives, but with some restrictions now lifting we have cause for hope for the future.”
