FIGHTING THE TORIES’ GREAT RURAL ROBBERY BY CALUM KERR It’s never been more important for our rural communities to have a strong voice at Westminster. With more SNP MPs since 2015 that’s what we’ve been delivering. As SNP rural affairs spokesperson I’ve challenged the Tory decision to rob Scottish farmers of £190 million of EU money, which only came to the UK because of Scotland’s historically low average farm payments. I will continue to fight for this funding to be passed on to Scotland’s farmers. As the UK leaves the EU, there is still no firm guarantee that EU powers and funding over farming will return to Scotland. At Westminster, I’ll continue to fight any Tory power grab. Our fishing communities know the consequences of leaving the Tories in charge. They need an unequivocal commitment that their livelihoods will not be bargaining chips in Brexit negotiations or treated, again, as ‘expendable’. SNP MPs will continue to put the concerns of our fishing sector front and centre. At this election we face an unfettered Tory government ready to grab farming powers for themselves and sell-out our fishing industry. Only the SNP will put Scotland’s rural communities first and put more power in Scotland’s hands. Calum Kerr 12 SCOTTISH NATIONAL PARTY MANIFESTO 2017
