THE next Labour government must drop Tory plans for new nuclear in Scotland, the Scottish Greens have demanded.

Green climate change spokesman Mark Ruskell MSP laid down the challenge just days after Tory Secretary of State for Scotland, Alister Jack, told the House of Lords constitution committee that plans for new reactors were being drawn up.

“I believe in 2026 we’ll see a unionist regime again in Holyrood, and they will move forward on that matter,” he said.
