THE Scottish Trades Union Congress (STUC) has said Labour’s position on a second independence referendum is “confused at best,” reiterating the need to break Scotland’s “constitutional logjam.”
STUC general secretary Roz Foyer called for debate in good faith about options for Scotland’s future, rebuking what she said was the party’s dismissive attitude towards both federalism and any second referendum.
Ms Foyer underlined the importance of the upcoming Scottish elections and said it was key that any debate on the constitution should “open enough space to explore alternative plans for independence and alternative proposals for devolution.”
