Green councillor says campaigning for independence is 'not his priority'

Shetland South councillor Alex Armitage says he made it clear to the Scottish Greens independence was 'not a massive part' of his politics despite being behind a Yes vote

A GREEN Shetland councillor has said campaigning for a second independence referendum is “not a priority of his” despite backing the cause.

While Alex Armitage, who became a Shetland South councillor in the latest election, has conceded that now is the right time for a second vote, given the fallout from Brexit, he has said the issue is not at the top of his priorities.
