If you want to get Boris Johnson out of Downing Street, if you want a transformational Labour government, then you have to vote Labour on Thursday. Scotland can deliver a majority UK Labour government. And when Labour wins, Scotland wins - @JeremyCorbyn

In 2014, Stella voted Yes because she believed it would bring hope and transformation to her community. Next month, Stella is voting Labour because only a Labour government will end austerity, ban zero-hour contracts and scrap Universal Credit. When Labour wins, Scotland wins.

Miners across Scotland were pushed to breaking point each shift to keep the country’s lights on. In return for their hard work the Tories raided their pensions and pocketed billions from it. Labour will right this historic wrong and give these workers dignity in retirement.

The SNP and the Tories don't want to talk about the real issues, they just want to argue about referendums to hide their dismal records in government. Labour has a plan to transform Scotland so our country truly works for the many, not the few.

🌹 John Smith won the leadership of the Labour Party with 91% of the vote and served until his death in 1994. He is often considered the greatest Prime Minister we never had. On this day, we remember his immortal, guiding words: "The opportunity to serve—that is all we ask".
