The Spin

Left narrative

Labour is leading the way in uniting the country and delivering for working people, from its £200M investment to secure jobs in Grangemouth to rebuilding the NHS and addressing poverty. While Reform's dangerous right-wing populism seeks to tear down the NHS and pander to Trump and Putin, Labour will continue to champion the values of liberal democracy and focus on a better future for all.

Right narrative

Labour’s reckless net-zero policies are destroying Scotland's jobs, especially in the North Sea. Starmer claims Labour is the answer, but under his leadership, the country is struggling. Reform UK offers real solutions – secure borders, more police, and protecting British jobs. While Labour clings to failing policies, Reform is gaining ground, standing up for working people and offering a true path to prosperity.
