May elections live: millions cast their votes across England, Scotland and Wales
"The SNP is the only party that has set out a positive vision for Scotland's future - and we are the only party with a serious plan to support people with the cost of living. We have set out our plans to bring down food costs, give families more support with the cost of childcare, lower the cost of your daily commute and provide more support for first time buyers."
"We've now seen what Reform looks like in power - banning journalists, scrapping renewables, closing care homes and raising council tax despite their promises. Our communities can't afford that chaos. Across the country, from Hampshire to Hull, the battle is now between the Liberal Democrats and Reform."
John Swinney urges Scottish voters to support the SNP to address cost-of-living challenges through reduced food costs, childcare support, lower commute expenses, and first-time buyer assistance. He positions the SNP as the only party with a comprehensive plan and calls for a strong majority government to pursue independence. Ed Davey appeals to voters to prevent Reform UK from gaining power, citing concerns about their policies including journalist restrictions, renewable energy cuts, care home closures, and council tax increases. Both leaders frame their campaigns around stopping opposing forces while promoting their respective visions for governance.
