LABOUR FACING ELECTION WIPE-OUT OVER BREXIT.

LABOUR FACING ELECTION WIPE-OUT OVER BREXIT.
 
ONLY THE SNP CAN STOP TORIES IN SCOTLAND
 
Scotland faces the risk of yet more hard-right Tory governments after a shock poll found that support for Labour has slumped to a record low – with just one in five voters planning to back the party at the next UK election, according to a Times/YouGov survey.
 
Labour now sit fourth in the polls for the first time ever, with just 18% saying that they would vote for the party if an election was held.
 
This week, respected Labour veteran Malcolm Chisholm said he could vote for independence if the Tories stay in power – intensifying doubts about the Labour leadership in the UK and Scotland.
 
Commenting, Tommy Sheppard MP said:
 
“Labour have spent three years arguing for Brexit despite the enormous damage it will cause to working families – and now their position is so confused it’s hard to even know where they stand.
 
“People are fed up with Jeremy Corbyn trying to face both ways at the same time without committing to anything.
 
“Scotland has been ignored throughout the Brexit process, and it is clear that the Westminster parties have no intention of respecting our decision to remain in the EU.
 
“Both the Tories and Labour have repeatedly proven they have nothing to offer Scotland but economic chaos, division and incompetence.  
 
“Now more than ever, Scotland needs the full powers of independence to protect our interests from the chaos and damage of a an utterly broken Westminster system.”
