This week, Edinburgh Western and Lothian list candidate took part in a Scotland 2016 debate on energy and the environment. After his success at getting in John Swinney’s face on tax, expectations were high, and he didn’t disappoint.
Here are some of his highlights:
Pointing out that the SNP consistently miss its climate change targets while they cut the budget for measures to tackle climate change.
“There is no question in the climate change challenge which shows that tracking is part of the solution”
Describing SNP MInister Fergus Ewing’s justification of a planned cut to Air Passenger Duty as a “smog and mirrors approach”
Outlining the Liberal Democrat plan to make sure houses are energy efficient and warm.
Explaining how good habits on recycling are being embedded in today’s children – and singing the song his 4 year old sings every day at nursery. Whether that latter part was entirely necessary, I’ll leave to your judgement.
