N5 and Higher Modern Studies pupils take note...the Scottish Sun are now backing Labour
BREAKING: Scottish Sun election editorial: It’s time for a change of management at Westminster and for Scotland to send a message to the failing and sleaze-ridden SNP that their time is up. That means it’s time for Labour.

N5 and Higher Modern Studies pupils take note:
The Daily Record backing Labour in the upcoming election.
The Daily Record has not backed one party at a General Election in 14 years, but next week’s vote is about setting Scotland and the UK on a different path, based on prosperity and fairness. Change is coming and Scots should be part of that by voting Labour.
