Scottish Greens' Lorna Slater slammed for car trips from her home near Edinburgh

A Scottish Greens minister has been accused of “hypocrisy” after making dozens of trips in a chauffeur-driven car from her home near Edinburgh.

Lorna Slater has made 50 trips by ministerial car over the past year despite pushing for more Scots to use public transport, reports the Scottish Daily Express.

In July 2022, Ms Slater was found to have racked up 600 miles in a nine-day period, while her longest trip of the year saw her trek 350 miles from near Edinburgh to a tree-planting project near Loch Ness.
