The Scottish Greens have promised a “transformative vision” to deliver a green economy as the party launched its 2024 general election manifesto.

Co-leaders Patrick Harvie and Lorna Slater revealed the 54-page policy document in Edinburgh on Thursday.

It included policies on wealth taxes for polluters and the super-wealthy as well as plans for a Green New Deal.

Slater said she plans to send “shockwaves” through politics by securing a record Scottish Green vote at the General Election.

It comes after the party announced it will field a record 44 candidates in Scotland on July 4.
