Classic hypocrisy from the Tories (Scotland Branch). They called for HPMAs in their 2021 manifesto for the Scottish Parliament elections.

The SNP-Green coalition's proposals for Highly Protected Marine Areas would be deeply damaging for our coastal communities. Tomorrow, @Rachael2Win will bring forward a vote in the Scottish Parliament calling on the SNP to drop their unworkable plans👇 https://t.co/Y4Fb7VSqZL

Every single SNP interviewee is being asked about GRR when appearing on BBC Scotland, irrespective of the reason for their appearance. At the same time a protective shield is erected around Anas Sarwar who also supports GRR. Selective scrutiny is both unethical and corrupt.
