A Labour government would “lead to the devastation of employment” in the oil and gas industry in north-east Scotland, the First Minister has said.
“I completely understand why people want to get rid of the Conservative government, and the best way to do that is to vote for the SNP because we’re the challengers in these constituencies”. 🧵 Today, I’m campaigning across Scotland’s North East to speak to voters and share the SNP’s plan for a better future.
“And, you know, we’ve got a commitment to manage to transition to net zero and that’s what the SNP will work with the oil and gas sector to deliver because we’ll need the oil and gas sector to contribute to our economy, but we will also ensure that there is the support that that sector can give, to enable the transition to renewables to be undertaken”.
