The reconvening of the Just Transition Commission will help ensure Scotland’s climate ambition is realised. In a time when far-right parties are peddling climate denial, the Holyrood elections will be vital for securing a sustainable future.

With Labour drifting to 3rd place in some polls, the choice at the next Scottish Parliament election will be between a progressive SNP Government or the populist right of Nigel Farage.

Across every level of government, Labour has betrayed its social conscience. It’s no wonder Labour have drifted behind Farage’s far-right outfit. The SNP is the only party to fight for progressive outward vision for Scotland. #voteSNP www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/opinion...
