Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Tavish Scott MSP has published research showing that the SNP has spent £950 million on policies that give more to the rich than to the poor.
Addressing the Liberal Democrat conference in Bournemouth, Mr Scott revealed the SNP Government's distorted priorities.
In his speech, Mr Scott said:
"Over four years, the SNP will have spent £950m on a set of distorted priorities and hand-outs that give more to the rich than to the poor.
"If you have two children and earn £100,000 then you will have gained £802 per year from the SNP.
"But if you have two children and you earn £15,000 then you will have gained just six pounds and seven pence.
"So that's enough champagne and lobster every night for the rich, but a fish supper for the poor.
"So I mean it when I say that, in Scotland, the only party at the General Election for a fairer society will be the Liberal Democrats."
Ends.
