Commenting on tonight's Question Time leadership special, Scottish Labour leader Richard Leonard said:
"Tonight, Jeremy Corbyn set out the huge difference that a UK Labour government could make to Scotland’s economy, communities and people.
"And Scotland has the power to decide whether Boris Johnson’s privileged Tories or Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour forms the next government.
"In contrast, Nicola Sturgeon spoke nothing of the challenges facing Scotland, and it’s little wonder given her record of failure.
"But it is her record of failure – on the scores of missed NHS waiting targets, on our failing public transport system, and on education, where there are 3,000 fewer teachers than when the SNP took office – on which she will be judged.
"Only Labour has a plan to invest and transform Scotland, and only Labour can form an alternative government to Boris Johnson's Tories."
