The former SNP leadership contender also criticised Just Stop Oil, accusing it of alienating the public and 'wrecking people’s lives'
“I’ve engaged before with both of them, but you actually have to take the public with you on any front – anything., for example, unless you take the public with you on some of the more difficult issues. If you can’t take them with you, we ain’t going to get there.Mr Harvie and Ms Slater entered the Scottish government as ministers under Ms Sturgeon, being given the brief of zero carbon buildings, active travel and tenants’ rights and green skills, circular economy and biodiversity, respectively.
She continued: “I think protest is fundamentally important, but protests that continue to hit workers, those that are struggling to get about their daily life – the cleaner who can’t get to work, and yet needs to feed her kids – when you start wrecking people’s lives in that way, you’ve lost them as an audience.”, arguing that this would need to continue for at least five years to allow renewables infrastructure to be put in place.
“If you cut it off tomorrow, or even if you cut it off next year, or maybe even in five years’ time, you won’t have built up the supply chain that can cater for all of these new jobs that are going to be created. All you do is plunge the country into poverty, and that does not serve our people,” she said.
