“We have to re-establish that consensus on climate. Climate is not a niche issue” Scottish Greens’ Lorna Slater defends bottle return scheme and says it is difficult to advance policy on climate change when other parties are “backing away” #bbcdn

@lornaslater @lornaslater says ‘without evidence’ that is because she didn’t listen to the businesses that were trying to tell her there was an IMA issue, and the other parties did. I have evidence which I attempted to provide to her, but she would not speak to small businesses.

Dive into the critical issues shaping economic policy, from President-elect Trump’s sweeping tariff proposals to the challenges Texas faces under rising government spending. Now is the time for bold reforms to protect taxpayers and ensure economic freedom thrives.

@lornaslater Lorna claims it was funded by industry. Yes some major producers did contribute, however, many then pulled out, many SME producers didn’t sign the agreement, and the tax payer lost millions on the scheme through SNIB

@lornaslater Does anyone actually take the greens seriously?? 😅

@lornaslater Climate is not a niche issue says the woman who voted for the Scottish governments renunciation of its 2030 carbon emissions target - but brought down Humza Yousaf because she wants to be able to give puberty blockers to children!

@lornaslater Everyone’s fault but hers

@lornaslater Should’ve waited on U.K. wide bottle deposit scheme. @CraigWHoy1 is correct, a scheme that works is surely better than the botched job they made of it in Scotland.

@lornaslater The exact people telling us sea levels are rising are the ones buying beachside property. The expect people telling us about out carbon footprint are the one flying around on private jets. Wakey wakey to the climate grifters.

@lornaslater That wummin fi the Greens is unhinged

@lornaslater @Lornaslater is a disaster for Scotland.

@lornaslater We all agree on climate emergency but soundbites aren’t helping - we need robust policies that deliver real progress not the resetting of Gov’s legal targets. If you can implement policies they are just bits of paper.
