Sir,
Over 100,000 Scottish families have had to depend on food banks over the past year. It is expected this will rise to over one million people over the life of the next parliament. As the UK is one of the wealthiest countries in the world this is scandalous.
Labour MP's joined their Conservative friends to vote for another additional £35 billion cuts to the public purse.
When you consider that the Western Isles Labour Party candidate is concentrating his election pledges on Holyrood policies, it begs the question why anyone should vote for him.
We need someone like Angus Macneil who is fully focused on Westminster matters, not someone who is abdicating their responsibilities and focusing on matters he cannot influence.
