Nicola Sturgeon has been criticised for a new Holyrood billboard campaign that shows the SNP "stealing" lines from Margaret Thatcher.

Labour attacked the First Minister and SNP leader after her party launched the new adverts, featuring a picture of Ms Sturgeon alongside the slogan "Don't just hope for a better Scotland. Vote for one."

In the 1979 election campaign, the Conservatives, then led by Mrs Thatcher, put up similar posters with their leader telling voters: "Don't just hope for a better life. Vote for one."
