The nightmare-ish monster that is currently masquerading as the President of the USA turned up at the SNP conference in Glasgow on Monday. Fortunately we were there too, to make sure that delegates to the conference were well aware of the dangers of a US-UK trade deal – it could destroy our environmental protections, workers rights and public health legislation, just as TTIP threatened. And the UK Government is busy negotiating trade deals without any involvement of the devolved administrations. There was definitely a warm reception from SNP conference attendees (for us, not for Trump) – let’s hope the UK Government starts to listen too!
