Your support makes all the difference.SNP leader and First Minister John Swinney has launched his party’s campaign bus which will travel around the country until polling day.
With just six days until the vote, the SNP said the bus tour will deliver the SNP’s message nationwide in an effort to gain more votes.
Ahead of the SNP bus launch, Mr Swinney said: “With less than a week to go until Scotland goes to the polls, the SNP are out campaigning across the country for every vote.
“The SNP are standing against £18 billion of further Westminster cuts to public services that are already baked into Labour and Tory spending plans.
“We’re fighting to protect the NHS from privatisation from Starmer and Sunak and pass a law that keeps our health service safe in public hands, where it belongs.
“We are the only major party focused on giving the people of Scotland their democratic right to choose their own future and rejoin the European Union as an independent nation”.
He added: “Scotland’s values are the SNP’s values and only the SNP can be trusted to stand up for Scotland in Westminster.
“On 4th July, vote SNP for a future made in Scotland, for Scotland.”
