Colette Walker – Leader of Independence for Scotland Party (ISP)
This episode was recorded at the Bacchus Bar in Glasgow, when Glasgow Pensioners for Independence invite Colette Walker, leader of the Independence for Scotland Party to address the group. It was the third in a series of events the group are arranging leading up to Holyrood 2026 : asking independence supporting parties to come and speak to them.
Colette shares her unexpected journey into political leadership, her refusal to be defined by her visual impairment, and the challenges she’s faced as a woman in politics. She also speaks candidly about the shocking abuse she and fellow campaigner Eva Comrie have received online for being women with disabilities.
It’s an inspiring and eye-opening conversation about resilience, representation, and the fight for Scottish independence. And Colette’s sense of humour shines through!
