Peace, Economy and Environment Scottish CND Hustings | 26 March 2026
Chaired by Lynn Jamieson from Scottish CND, this in-depth conversation brings together representatives from a range of leading peace, environment, and sustainability organisations to challenge panellists on the critical issues facing Scotland—from nuclear weapons policy and renewable energy to economic justice and climate responsibility.
What do Scotland’s political leaders really think about nuclear disarmament, climate action, and environmental sustainability? Find out in this revealing and frank hustings discussion featuring:
- Ross Greer (Scottish Greens Co-leader),
- Colin Fox (Scottish Socialist Party National Co-spokesperson),
- Alex Kerr (Scottish National Party National Secretary)
- Sarah Boyack (Scottish Labour Party former MSP).
Invitations were also extended to Scottish Tories, Scottish Lib Dems and Reform UK, none of whom turned up on the night. You can draw your own conclusions about what their contribution might have been.

- 01:35 Q1: Does your party support the aims of the TPNW?
