Commenting,
Marion Fellows said:
“It has
always been a privilege to fight for the wonderful communities in Motherwell,
Wishaw and Bellshill. I’m elated my branch has re-selected me as their
candidate. The SNP is ready to fight an election at any time and bring down the
Tory Government.
“We need to
halt Brexit so we can continue trading to protect jobs and services. We need to
end austerity and invest in people and our economy. We need to defend the will
of Scotland’s people and Parliament and stop the Westminster power grab.
“Corbyn’s
Labour and the Tories are in engaged in full-blown civil wars. Labour has
failed to form a coherent position on Brexit and the Tories’ position is
tearing communities apart. The SNP has a clear plan to stop austerity and
Brexit.
“I know the
struggles of local, hardworking people. Johnson and his pals don’t. It will be
ordinary families, not the Tories, who will pay the price of a no deal Brexit
and continued austerity.”E
