Standing starkly at odds with the success of the Greens in England and Wales, several Scottish Green Party councillors and MSP candidates recently defected to Your Party – and urged others to follow suit. How do we make sense of this development?
With Chancellor Rachel Reeves sharpening her knives for the coming Autumn Budget, many will be left thinking “what is there left to cut?”. Everywhere you look – from classroom to NHS waiting rooms – Britain being ripped apart by the billionaire class.
