First Minister Nicola Sturgeon
Nicola Sturgeon has been told to expect thousands of job cuts and angry protests from rural workers over plans to work closely with Greens in government.
The First Minister revealed early discussions are under way which could lead to prominent figures including co-leaders Patrick Harvie and Lorna Slater in ministerial positions alongside the SNP at Holyrood.
In a furious response, Scottish Gamekeepers Association chairman Alex Hogg claimed more than 13,000 rural jobs could be put at risk if stated Green policy is adopted by Ms Sturgeon.
He said: “Lorna Slater and Patrick Harvie’s clinical cull of jobs, using emotive labelling, is not about biodiversity and climate, it is a misguided class war that will actually sacrifice over 13,000 rural workers and their families.
