Quiet story: a Herald analysis says the Scottish Greens must stop handing opponents openings, after a polyamory-rights motion dominated coverage of their conference (Herald only)
Co-leader Ross Greer told the Inverness conference the party is 'under constant attack' and must not give opponents chances to portray it as extreme. The Herald's political correspondent argues a Greens of Colour motion on rights for polyamorous relationships overshadowed the party's railcard and cost-of-living pitch; Reform UK and the Conservatives called the party 'detached from reality'. The motion was not debated after Storm Boelo cut the conference short. Only one rated outlet in our sample covered it in the last 48h (The Herald, Scotland, centre-left).
