Liz Truss has “showed the world she is unfit to be prime minister” and is a “symptom of the Westminster dysfunction”, SNP’s deputy chief will say in his opening speech on the celebration convention.
Keith Brown will accuse the prime minister of delivering “more chaos and confusion than even the most pessimistic prediction” when he addresses delegates gathered in Aberdeen.
In a scathing evaluation of her first month within the job, he’s anticipated to say: “In less than a month, she has tanked the economy; risked the pensions of millions; scrapped the cap on bankers’ bonuses; announced and then U-turned on income tax cuts for the wealthy; created a debt crisis; and showed the world she is singularly unfit for the job.”
He will say the “chaos she has created is no surprise”, pointing to her document in authorities below the previous three prime ministers.
“From austerity to Brexit, she’s been complicit in inflicting the worst Tory policies on the people of this country.”
Mr Brown can even take goal at Westminster in his speech, which is able to open the primary in-person SNP convention since earlier than the pandemic.
He will say: “It is a sobering thought certainly that when the historical past of 2022 is written, it’s going to document that Boris Johnson was not even the worst prime minister this 12 months.
“What is clear is that Liz Truss is a symptom of the dysfunction at Westminster – not the cause.”
Mr Brown can even condemn Labour, describing chief Sir Keir Starmer as “just another Tony Blair” and accusing the celebration of being “as Trumpian as the Tories in their denial of Scottish democracy”.
He will inform delegates: “It is an incontrovertible fact that the SNP has a cast-iron mandate to hold an independence referendum.
“But Labour all the time facet with the Tories to guard Westminster management – regardless of how excessive a value the folks of Scotland pay.”
‘Height of self-indulgence’

And Scottish Tory constitution spokesman Donald Cameron MSP said: “The SNP are kicking off their convention in the one approach they know the way – by speaking about independence.
“Keith Brown’s speech is the height of self-indulgence to pander to the party faithful. It sets the tone for another SNP conference that will be dominated by independence, rather than talking about the real priorities of Scots.”
