Emma Harper: ...still, all the powers of a normal independent country.

Those political situations leave Scotland in a difficult diplomatic situation, and the...

The disruption to the industry is dangerous and it is the last thing that we all need right now, in the current chaos of another snap general election and Boris’s Brexit boorach.

Emma Harper: This week, Channel 4’s “Dispatches” uncovers secret talks between the UK and US Governments and pharmaceutical industries, regarding the US having post-Brexit access to the NHS, in the form of trade deals.

Scottish Parliament: A Trading Nation (30 May 2019)

Emma Harper: ...sent to him, to meet members of the forum to see what support the Scottish Government might be able to offer.

I welcome that the budget delivers almost three quarters of a billion pounds—£729 million—extra for health...

Scottish Parliament: Budget (Scotland) (No 3) Bill: Stage 3 (21 Feb 2019)

Emma Harper: ...who are welcome in Scotland but are being met with nothing but chaos, hostility and sheer disrespect from an out-of-touch UK Government.
