Renfrewshire is calling out for a change at this general election
Scottish Liberal Democrat candidate for Paisley & Renfrewshire North, Grant Toghill, responds to announcement of general election.
Grant will be campaigning for action to tackle the cost-of-living crisis, tackling the crisis n the NHS and improveing the environment.
Liberal Democrats are on the up after beating the Conservatives at the May local elections and winning four stunning parliamentary by-election victories since the last General Election.
Responding to the Prime Minister announcing an election is to take place on 4 July, Scottish Liberal Democrat candidate for Paisley and Renfrewshire North, Grant Toghill said:
“The chaotic Conservatives and the scandal-hit SNP have made a mess of our country for too long. People have had enough and it’s time for change.
“There was a time you could see your GP at the first time of asking and your dentist still offered NHS care, Scottish education was amongst the best in the world and all the ferries worked. It was so much easier to rent somewhere to live or to buy your first home, our economy was growing and business thrived.
“But for nearly twenty years, the SNP have been ignoring the people who do most of the heavy lifting. You’re working harder but it feels like you’re falling further behind - like you’re being taken for granted.
“Scottish Liberal Democrats want to bring people back together, putting Scotland at the heart of a reformed UK and fixing our broken relationship with Europe. We want to help everyone who can't get a GP appointment or see an NHS dentist, support our schools and deliver for business.
“We’ll reduce your bills and tackle climate change by rolling out a national insulation programme, and we’ll get the government-owned water company to clean up its act and stop filling our rivers and our beaches with sewage.
“Liberal Democrats have won the safest of Conservative seats in record by-election wins, just beaten the Conservatives in the English local elections and Scottish opinion polls show we are growing.
“If elected I will be a champion for our community and fight on your behalf for a fair deal. It’s time for change.”
