On Tuesday, former Lib Dem leader Charles Kennedy joined Katy at the ASDA supermarket in Maryhill, chatting to customers and staff about their views on the Lib Dems’ plans to make the tax system fairer.
Katy said:
“Liberal Democrat proposals to make the first £10,000 you earn tax free have been going down well on the doorsteps and customers I met today seemed impressed too.
The poorest people in Glasgow now pay a higher proportion of their income in tax than in 1997. Life has got harder for people at the bottom while it has got easier for those at the top.
This has happened on Labour’s watch. It is a damning indictment that after thirteen years in Government Labour has not delivered fair taxes.”
Commenting, Charles Kennedy added:
“Katy has worked tirelessly for Glasgow North, battling against Labour’s programme of post office closures and school closures. As the local MP, Katy will continue to campaign on the issues that matter to people in Glasgow.
The fact that so many people recognised her and wanted to come over and say ‘hello’ just goes to show how close she is to beating Labour on May 6th.”
