Scotland's Ruinous SNP/Green Alliance
Deposit return scheme is dead thru’ epic mismanagement. If Yousaf had any sense he’d sack Lorna Slater and stop the Green tail wagging the dog. SNP members would rejoice.https://t.co/XqYKS2qI7O

Lorna Slater is reportedly fuming at the collapse of her ruinous deposit return scheme, but this demonstrates the SNP's recklessness in creating non-jobs out of thin air for inexperienced Green politicians - driven by ideology rather than finding practical solutions.
Iain Macwhirter hits the nail on the head in his column for the Times.
"However, it is surely not sensible politics to try to blame Westminster for a mess that has been so obviously made in Scotland. Devolution was supposed to deliver Scottish solutions to Scottish problems, not create them."
