Multi-millionaire Tory PM Rishi Sunak cutting services is last thing we need
The last thing we need is yet another multi-millionaire Tory Prime Minister attacking the services we all rely on, according to the Scottish Greens, who have warned that Rishi Sunak’s premiership will be “music to the ears of the super rich.”
Scottish Greens Co-leader, Patrick Harvie MSP, said:
“Rishi Sunak’s appointment will be music to the ears of his super rich friends, but, for millions of people in Scotland and beyond it will be devastating.”
“The Tories have stepped into a time machine and come out in 2010. The last thing we need is yet another multi-millionaire Tory Prime Minister looking the other way while millions suffer and attacking the services that we all rely on.
“They crashed the economy and now they will try to make the most vulnerable pay for it. That is what they do every time they get a sniff of power. That is what Rishi Sunak did when he was Chancellor and he cut Universal Credit by £1000 a year.
“He may have eventually withdrawn his support from Boris Johnson, but he stood right with him when he ignored the worst cost crisis for generations and when he delivered a disastrous Brexit.
“In 2014, we were told that a No vote was the only way to secure our economic stability. Since then we have had four Prime Ministers, each of them even worse than the one before. Rishi Sunak will be the fifth.
“Scotland didn’t vote for any of them. There is no doubt that we need an election, and the chance to remove this chaotic government. But we also need a fair and democratic referendum.
“Surely after all this, nobody can doubt that Scotland is capable of better than the shambles that calls itself the UK Government.”
