THE SNP handed out five-year-old leaflets on the campaign trail, Scottish Labour claim.
Anas Sarwar’s party said pamphlets urging voters to re-elect Tommy Sheppard as an MP were distributed in his Edinburgh East and Musselburgh constituency - despite having been produced for the 2019 vote.
The leaflets encourage people to vote for the SNP on December 12 - the date of the election five years ago - and slate Boris Johnson and Brexit.
Alongside a photo of Mr Sheppard, a leaflet says: “It’s time to stop Brexit for good. But the main issue at this election is who gets to choose Scotland’s future - Boris Johnson or the people who live here?”
It goes on to say that Scotland “should have a referendum next year on becoming an independent country”.
A Scottish Labour spokesperson said: “The SNP’s shambolic campaign has taken another embarrassing turn.

“While the SNP keeps recycling the same old leaflets and the same old arguments, Scottish Labour is ready to deliver the change Scotland needs.”
But the SNP denied they had handed out old leaflets.
It comes after a former Prime Minister was spotted canvassing doors on a Scottish street ahead of the election.
