I’d be interested in Andy Wightman and Dr Craig Dalȝell response to Kate Forbes who said - I think - that a new Scotland-wide land tax would need WM permission. Did I hear that right?
Chris Stephens tells #SNP24 v few trade unions backed Labour candidates in last election. ‘200 MPs were backed by Labour Together - not the unions.’ Interesting that SNP Trade Union Group has 11k members & is largest affiliated org within the SNP
A wee correction from proposer Chris Hanlon SNP. His idea is for land tax enabled by Holyrood but delivered by councils with money to non gov body for affordable housing cos new national tax needs WM approval. Actually I’d like to see Scotgov ask. V bad look if Starmer says no.
'If you are honestly impressed by a boring man standing beside another boring man in a boring suit promising to do nothing to mitigate the challenges Brexit Britain faces, [you have] an astonishing tolerance for political mediocrity.' PeatWorrier on form. thenational.scot/politics/24554…
Think a citizens assembly organised by The Highland Council formed of NC500 locals would be a great way to form strategy not just quick fixes.
