We couldn't agree more with Anas Sarwar - we are calling for action against retail crime. Police Scotland and the prosecuting authorities should use all of their powers to protect retail workers and act against shoplifting.

Shops like the Gorbals Co-op are at the heart of their communities but every day they face shoplifting and anti-social behaviour. The staff I spoke to this morning were clear - we need action to tackle shoplifting and keep our communities safe.

The SNP has a soft touch approach to crime in our country. Anas Sarwar holds the Government to account at FMQs over violence against shopworkers.

Scottish Labour Leader Anas Sarwar visited a Co-op in Glasgow this week to hear directly from shopworkers about the effects of retail crime. This SNP government has failed workers and failed businesses.

.Scottish Labour will end the SNP’s soft touch approach to crime, back our police force, and support business and communities.
