Corbyn: I implore Scots to vote for a party of progress

JEREMY CORBYN set a defiant mood at the Scottish TUC yesterday telling delegates that the “choice is clear and the stakes are high” in the upcoming general election.

The Labour leader, who received a standing ovation when he arrived on stage, said that the election was not another referendum but a choice between “the party of privilege and the rich” and a Labour Party prepared to “challenge these powerful interests and transform the lives of working people.”

He said: “Only Labour or the Tories can form a government, and I implore Scots to fight for the party of progress, and not the vicious Tory Party, who, alongside their previous coalition partners, the Lib Dems, unleashed an unprecedented attack on working people in this country.”
