HOLYROOD’S pro-independence majority is a “strength not a weakness” the First Minister has said, in defence of the Bute House Agreement with…
and Lorna Slater ministerial roles in the Scottish Government, he pointed to the recent decision to scrap Highly Protected Marine Areas after a backlash from fishing communities.
“So let's delay, let's make changes, let's listen to those business concerns. They are absolutely legitimate.” “It comes up on occasion for sure, it comes up when I speak to them about the A96 in the north east, so it definitely comes up, but I have to say it is not number one, number two, number three issue that comes up time and time again.”
Yousaf refuted that the Scottish Greens pushed the SNP to go “further than they’d like”, but admitted that they had pushed them to go further than their original manifesto promises.When it was suggested that this might be difficult for voters who voted for the SNP manifesto at the Holyrood election, Yousaf said: “No I don’t think it is because people want to see political parties work together.“We have this agreement, this co-operation agreement.
