LET’S deal with the good news first.

when was First Minister – say that we must approach the General Election with policies on the side of public opinion. He argues that one of the reasons for the SNP’s slide in the polls is that on a number of our current policies, we are not carrying public opinion with us and, often, where the party has taken a position, we have not done enough to persuade the public of its merits..

What people need is a practical plan for tackling climate change and reaching our net-zero targets which doesn’t put the cost of so doing on those who can least afford it. The SNP don’t need the Scottish Green Party to deliver on climate change – what we do need is a creditable long-term plan of the kind Common Weal has set out in its Green New Deal. If we can take the Scottish Greens with us on that, well and good, but the tail cannot continue to be seen wagging the dog.

Intriguingly, he revealed that he is currently working on a new paper about independence strategy which he plans to publish in early September. I am looking forward to reading it and delighted to hear it will be out in time to inform the SNP debate at conference in October.
