Russell Findlay keynote speech, at Apex Waterloo Hotel in Edinburgh, Scotland on 14 January 2025

Russell Findlay said today (Tuesday) that the Scottish Conservatives are the only party standing for change in next year's Holyrood election after Labour's decision to let the SNP budget pass.

Scottish Conservative leader Russell Findlay said: "The Scottish Conservatives are the only party standing for change, now that Labour have decided to let the SNP budget pass. Labour have admitted they no longer stand for change and it's clear why -
Sir Keir Starmer has broken countless promises within a year of gaining

the SNP.

"Anas Sarwar's new slogan is 'new direction', but it should really be no direction. By abstaining to let the SNP budget pass, he's
