THE Scottish Greens have announced they will be running in the Rutherglen and Hamilton West by-election.
But, in a statement this morning, Scottish Labour deputy leader Jackie Baillie said: “At a time when Scots deserve a green party fighting for environmental justice, the Scottish Green Party has taken Humza Yousaf’s shilling and shown for all to see that it is nothing less than an SNP branch office.and Lorna Slater are acting as human shields for Humza Yousaf.
The Scottish Greens responded soon afterwards, calling the comments “desperate stuff” and announcing they will, in fact, be running in the Rutherglen by-election and launching their campaign on Tuesday.
