Scotland’s fishing industry has been undermined by the UK government - again. Like the Tories, Labour didn’t even consult Scottish Government and treated our fishing communities as expendable. Only independence would give us the seat at the EU table to defend Scotland’s interests.

My letter to UK Gov Minister Steve Reed asking him to retract his false statements about the condition of water in Scotland. IWC was able to report we’re in a much better position than rUk with 87% “high” or “good” status. Public ownership works. scottishgov-newsroom.prgloo.com/correspondence…
