Summarization
Lorna Slater, a Minister in the Scottish Government has become the target of criticism for her involvement in the Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) legislation, which has caused major issues for business. Many people have voiced their criticism and concerns on how it was introduced, as well as how Gov. Fellow ministers (such as Nicola Sturgeon) have sided against her. DRS has been mentioned as an expensive "shambles" and it has been claimed to have caused businesses to go under. Slater was recently questioned in a BBC Sunday Show and on Scotland Tonight. She has also been accused of lying, however she claims that larger businesses were consulted.

| 1625583132698107926 | Hi @lornaslater , I’m representing the industry that I’ve been part of for 40 years. We feel hugely unsettled by your DRS legislation, please join me on @bbcdebatenight tomorrow to reassure us that we have gotten this all wrong? | 622 |
| 1626927421235535873 | In the last few days I’ve been contacted by: -A brewer that has been made redundant because of DRS. -A small distillery that has let their team go and is starting winding up process because of DRS. The damage has started @lornaslater. A DRS that ruins business is unacceptable. | 312 |
| 1625823679358595073 | Nicola Sturgeon has truly been a major figure in Scottish and UK politics. A statement on her resignation from Scottish Green co-leaders @patrickharvie and @lornaslater. https://t.co/m8uRayiI6a https://t.co/VUWDektSPR | 296 |
| 1624711769108148226 | The SNP/Green Deposit Return Scheme has become an expensive shambles, causing huge issues for business. Shocking that the hapless @lornaslater as the responsible Minister, nor anyone else from SNP or Greens, prepared to go on BBC Sunday Show to explain. | 201 |
| 1625258864693194755 | When asked how many producers have signed @Circ_Scotland’s producers agreement minister @lornaslater said, “Those numbers are with Circularity Scotland and are not with me at this time.” https://t.co/1wxKrY4Gvl | 118 |

| 1625585050426171413 | This shows how reckless @ScotGovFM @scotgov and @lornaslater have been. They simply want to use this as a political football when Westminster kills it. In the meantime Scottish businesses suffer. Are they REALLY working for the good of Scotland or the good of themselves? https://t.co/pG01cZac92 | 77 |
| 1626493400991014912 | 'So many wonderful women have told me that they look in horror at the abuse and the way that women in the public eye are treated and have concluded that it’s not for them' @lornaslater writes about the pressures Nicola Sturgeon faced as a woman in public office https://t.co/bvkUi4tuCe | 76 |
| 1625825839840477184 | A response from @lornaslater and myself as Green co-leaders, to Nicola Sturgeon's resignation as First Minister. She has given decisive, tireless and collaborative leadership through unprecedented challenges and we are sorry to see her step down. https://t.co/bjk6mTgKTy | 72 |
| 1625375349876879361 | I will ask a very simple question to anyone, albeit only a few, who votes 'green'-- are you happy to see this absolute plank @lornaslater representing your views within a devolved assy of 🤡🤡, and if so can you list any positives she contributes ? many thanks --will wait 😡 https://t.co/be1hILB8oB | 72 |

| 1625409124715401217 | Woeful interview with the hapless @lornaslater on #bbcgms this morning on the shambolic SNP/Green Deposit Return Scheme. Unable to answer basic questions to address the many valid concerns of industry. | 747 |
