Oh great, as if it wasn’t awful enough I’m defending Labour, now I have to go into bat for the S-N-*ing-Pee on a Sunday morning.
Scotland has a particularly awful relationship with alcohol. So much so we have an actual thing called the Alcohol Act 2010, which banned supermarkets from including booze in multi-buy promotions. And we have the Alcohol (Minimum pricing) Act 2012, which allows the government to set a minimum price per unit (currently set at 50p, likely to rise to 80p in the near future). I am no fan of wee Humza fae Hutchie but anything he does with regards to alcohol sales in Scotland is in pursuit of long-established policy aimed at tackling deeply ingrained social issues, not the utterings of his Imam.
