Podlitical

Interview: Lorna Slater MSP


Listen Later

Co-leader of the Scottish Greens Lorna Slater sits down with Podlitical, talking about her journey to Scotland, and ahead of the 10th anniversary of the 2014 Scottish independence referendum, shares her memories of the referendum and how she got engaged in Scottish politics. Lorna Slater shares how she feels having autism is an advantage in the job, how her experience with the Deposit Return Scheme left her with a "deep cynicism" of the UK Government, plus the collapse of the Bute House agreement, and how Humza Yousaf's resignation was about "brutal" parliamentary math. As the next Holyrood election begins to be considered, Slater discusses how it's "hard to imagine" supporting the Scottish Government's next budget without the "green stuff".
