Patrick Harvie has a nerve to carp from the sidelines about meeting

Shouldn't the Scottish Greens co-leader reflect on his own actions?

SOME nerve! Serial opportunist Harvie has one brass neck carping from the sidelines on the Israeli meeting.

He should remember that his team’s actions resulted in the resignation of the very FM who would have been more likely to deliver the outcome he now so desperately seeks.

As I recall, the Green’s weaponisation (maybe we’ll go, maybe we’ll stay) of the Bute House Agreement to force through polices beyond their seven-MSP support resulted in Humza Yousaf terminating the agreement. That, as we now know, led in turn to Yousaf’s own demise at the hands of a bullish Harvie et al.

Perhaps Harvie, rather than sharing his mercenary outrage, would be better to reflect on how his own actions might have contributed to this apparently more conciliatory approach from the current SNP leadership than either he or I would like.
