Farming leader says new MSPs must confront challenges faced by industry

A farming leader has welcomed the new raft of MSPs. But NFU Scotland president Martin Kennedy says the parliament faces major tasks ahead. In Shetland, Liberal Democrat Beatrice Wishart narrowly beat off competition from SNP candidate Tom Wills. Nationally the vote saw the SNP secure 64 seats. Mr Kennedy said: “NFU Scotland wants a sustainable and profitable future for farmers and crofters and our key asks were clearly mapped out in our manifesto for these elections. “We want to use that manifesto as a building block to work with the new government and all parties on the nation’s green recovery and our response to the climate change crisis.

SNP candidate wins endorsement from two SIC councillors

SNP candidate Tom Wills’ election campaign has received a late boost in the form of an endorsement from former independent candidate Ryan Thomson. Thomson, who is chairman of Shetland Islands Council’s environment and transport committee, won 1,286 votes in the August 2019 by-election. That equated to a share of nearly 11 per cent in a contest won by a margin of just over 15 per cent by Liberal Democrat Beatrice Wishart, with the destiny of those votes likely to be a significant factor in determining the outcome this time around. 10 of 13Adverts In a social media post on Tuesday, Thomson said he would be voting this Thursday “in a different way to what I have before”.
