GMB's Gary Smith said the Scottish party cannot just appeal to 'Edinburgh graduates'
A trade union leader has claimed Scottish Labour will lose seats over a “stupid” and “catastrophic” ban on new North Sea oil developments.
But it has sparked a backlash among trade unions worried it could put tens of thousands of workers on the dole. “There has to be a positive message from Labour and people need to see that there is hope and a real purpose and point of voting for a Labour Government both at Westminster and in Holyrood.”
“That position from the party is just plain wrong. It's bad for the environment, because it will mean more imports, it's bad for the economy. We are already spending twice as much as our defence budget on importing oil and gas. It will be absolutely calamitous in terms of jobs.”
