Herald publishes letter from 100 ‘Yes’ voters backing Scottish Labour

The Herald today has a letter from 100 people who voted ‘yes’ in the referendum urging voters in Scotland to vote Labour to “get the Tories out”.

Included among the signatories are such high profile ‘Yes’ campaigners as Sir Charles Grey and anti-poverty campaigner Bob Holman.

Signatories to the letter have expressed concern that Nicola Sturgeon is planning a second referendum and have argued that  “We don’t want to go through that again so soon.”

The full text of the letter is:

“To the people of Scotland,

Last September we voted yes in the independence referendum.

But we are now facing another choice just as important as the one we took last year.

Do we take the road to a fairer economy with Labour, or the road to a second referendum with the SNP.

Nicola Sturgeon promised the referendum would be once in a lifetime but she’s already planning another one. We don’t want to go through that again so soon.

The election is neck and neck in England. If Scotland votes Labour we can get the Tories out, stop austerity, ban zero-hours contracts, end the need for food banks and make work pay.

That is why all of us are voting Labour on Thursday.

Yours for Scotland”
