Labour has branded the Tory campaign “divisive” and drawn parallels with Donald Trump’s US Presidential campaign last year.

The party’s business manager said Ruth Davidson’s claims that Theresa May will ‘make Britain great again’ was embarrassing.

He said “Ruth Davidson’s stealing Donald Trump’s slogan was a toe-curling moment, but both the Tory campaign and the Trump campaign have sought to divide our society.

“Theresa May and Ruth Davidson both support slashing the social security safety net for the poorest, tax cuts for the richest and scapegoating immigrants.”

He added that on Brexit there were more similarities between Trump and the Tory Brexiteers.

He added:“And the Tories are responsible for Brexit, which was supported by Trump, which handed Nicola Sturgeon a fresh grievance in her bid to break-up Britain.

“On June 8, Scots can send Nicola Sturgeon a message to abandon her plans for a divisive second independence referendum without endorsing the vile policies of the Tories. A vote for Labour on 8 June is a vote to end austerity and oppose a divisive second independence referendum.”

After Tories campaigned at a removals warehouse he added: “The only way to ensure there are removal vans outside Downing Street on Friday morning is to vote Labour on Thursday.”
