SNP plans for a government relaunch have been dismissed as tired and “half-baked”.

Opposition parties said there was nothing new in a briefing given to a London newspaper, which reported Nicola Sturgeon would unveil a suite of “radical” policies in the autumn.

A government insider told the paper: “We are working on a series of radical policies. There will be things there which make people sit up and take notice.”

But critics pointed out the ideas cited, including giving council powers to local communities, tackling air pollution, welfare reform and economic growth, had all been announced already.

In the wake of the SNP losing a third of its MPs at the general election last month, the First Minister told Holyrood she intended to “refresh” her government after its decade in power.

She said: “We will set out afresh our vision for the country we lead, together with... creative, imaginative, bold and radical policies” to deliver a “bold, ambitious vision for Scotland".

Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale said: “There is nothing ‘radical’ about Nicola Sturgeon’s government. A half-baked attempt at a reboot months down the line is simply too little, too late for the generation of Scots she has let down.”

Scottish Conservative economy spokesman Dean Lockhart said: “These are ideas we’ve heard before from the SNP - there literally isn’t a new proposal in there.

“That’s not the radical relaunch bragged about by SNP insiders.

“It’s indicative of a tired government which has run out of inspiration and ideas.”
