SCOTLAND’S political leaders are under fresh pressure to commit to a just and green recovery from Covid-19 ahead of May’s election. 

Campaigners representing 80 organisations — including churches, charities, trade unions and community groups — have written to parties stating any attempt to go “back to normal” after this epidemic is misguided, saying that most would argue that “normal” was never good enough. 

Instead, they say radical change putting people before profit is key to a comprehensive recovery that takes seriously the climate crisis and inequality.
