Commenting, SNP MSP Kevin Stewart said: “Rishi Sunak pandering to the right-wing of his party for short term political reprieve will go down as one of the worst decisions taken by a Prime Minister in living memory.find a backbone and add their voices to the growing numbers calling Rishi Sunak to re-think this dangerous U-turn.
“Douglas Ross has a track record of faithfully doing what his London bosses tell him to – just look at last year’s disastrous mini-budget - but it would be welcome if on this most serious of issues he could for once stand up to them, instead of burying his head in the sand.take this backwards step, it has never been more vital that the SNP Government press ahead and ensure Scotland remains a global climate leader that can attract the skills and investment needed to reach net-zero.
Lumsden said: “The Prime Minister announced a sensible, pragmatic plan for reaching net zero on the original timetable that also takes into account the cost-of-living pressures the public faces.
