A BBC Question Time audience member ripped into the Labour Government during Thursday’s show.
The man asked whether Sir Keir Starmer’s policies were “advancing the case for Scottish independence”, prompting laughter and applause from the rest of the audience.
Asked if he had any in mind, he said: “How long have you got?”
He went on to highlight the freebies row, stripping most OAPs of winter fuel payments and National Insurance hikes in the Budget.
The audience member said: “I think really just everything they’ve done so far – like at the beginning we had the shirts and suits scandal, the pensioners having their allowance taken away from them, National Insurance increases.
“I think a lot of people voted in Scotland at the General Election to get rid of the SNP and are now regretting that fact from what you can see in the polls that the situation where we’ve voted in a party that’s even worse.”
Labour minister Michael Shanks tried to shift blame onto Labour’s inheritance from the Tories.
He said: “I disagree. I’d start by saying we’ve been in government eight months.
“And I say that because what we have had to deal with is 14 years of the most destructive, distracted, chaotic government we’ve seen that has left our public services in real trouble, that has delivered austerity year after year after year, and we’ve had to come in and pick up a multitude of problems and deal with them all at the same time.
“I’d love to sit here and say we could just flick a switch and deliver the change we absolutely want to see across this country but the truth is the long-term change will take time.
“Some of the actions we’ve taken early on, the Budget for example, ending austerity and investing in public services is about getting money back into the services that we badly need to fund.”
It comes after the SNP, which was plunged into chaos by Nicola Sturgeon’s resignation and a police probe into its finances, lost dozens of MPs at the July General Election as Labour won a landslide victory.
