SNP criticises Starmer’s cautious approach to policy and spending as it attempts to hold Rutherglen and Hamilton West
Labour officials are expecting the party to be repeatedly attacked from the left by the SNP during a pivotal byelection regarded as a barometer of the party’s hopes of winning power.
In the past week, the SNP has been widely distributing a leaflet targeting Keir Starmer’s decision not to scrap the two-child benefit cap as it attempts to hold on to the Rutherglen and Hamilton West seat. Its campaign literature also suggests there is no difference between Starmer and Rishi Sunak.
