Stephen Flynn says Starmer’s Labour has ‘downed tools’ amid disaster | EUROtoday

Stephen Flynn, the SNP Westminster chief, has warned that the “cost of chaos” inside the UK Government is immediately harming Scottish households and companies.

He accused ministers of being “so caught up in their own civil war that they are completely ignoring Westminster’s never-ending cost-of-living crisis”. Flynn particularly pointed to Labour’s inner strife, which he claimed adopted Scottish chief Anas Sarwar’s requires the Prime Minister to resign amid revelations regarding Peter Mandelson’s affiliation with Jeffrey Epstein.

The MP for Aberdeen South argued that Labour ministers are “downing tools” to give attention to get together divisions, resulting in “economic and political paralysis”. He cited sluggish financial development, the repercussions of Brexit, and the declining worth of the pound in opposition to the euro as proof.

Mr Flynn acknowledged: “The cost of chaos under the Labour Party is growing and getting worse – Keir Starmer’s Labour Party are so caught up in their own civil war that they are completely ignoring Westminster’s never-ending cost-of-living crisis.”

He added: “When it comes to managing the economy, tackling Westminster’s cost-of-living crisis or even the basics of passing promised legislation – Keir Starmer’s distracted and divided Labour Party have blatantly downed tools.”

Flynn urged the general public is “wise to the fact” that whereas Labour offers with “fighting amongst themselves, they will never fight for them”. He additional commented: “Another week of Westminster scandal has come with real costs and consequences – the pound plummeted, borrowing rates soared and even passing laws came to a standstill – people were promised ‘change’; Keir Starmer’s Labour Party has only delivered chaos.”

In distinction, Flynn highlighted the SNP’s focus in Scotland on “our people’s priorities”, citing the opening of the primary GP walk-in clinic, frozen rail fares, 5 years of the Scottish baby cost, and a resident physician pay deal.

He praised First Minister John Swinney, stating: “Under John Swinney, our NHS is turning a corner with waiting times falling thanks to that relentless focus on improving our health service.”

Flynn concluded: “While the Labour Party rips itself apart, John Swinney’s SNP Government can always be trusted to be on Scotland’s side.”

The UK Government has been approached for remark.
