SCOTLAND must have “more devolution” to ditch neoliberalism and austerity and fuel a “green industrial revolution,” Richard Leonard will say today.
In a major speech in Motherwell, North Lanarkshire, the Scottish Labour leader will demand an “urgent and decisive breakthrough” in saving the troubled BiFab yards in Fife, which make infrastructure for renewable energy sources.
Following celebrations of 20 years of devolution last weekend, Mr Leonard will praise the Scottish Parliament for becoming “one of the most powerful devolved institutions in the world.”
