Mr Douglas Alexander

Labour (Co-op) — Lothian East

Speaking in the House of Commons on 22 October 2025

Debate

Scottish Independence Referendum

Contribution

Well, Mr Speaker, the quality of the SNP’s contributions does not seem to have improved since 2007, and neither has its arguments. In the face of failing schools and hospitals, and the inability to build ferries in the hon. Gentleman’s own constituency, what do we see? Once again, dreary documents about independence. The reality is that the SNP has let Scotland down, and Scotland deserves better. That is why we are up for the fight in May.
