PATRICK Harvie has blasted Scottish Green colleagues who never accepted the Bute House Agreement as the party descends into civil war.

The radical left-wing group is facing a leadership contest and battles for places on the list ahead of next year’s Holyrood election.

A group of radical members, dubbed by some as the ‘Glasgow Faction’, are looking to oust Mr Harvie from the top spot on the Glasgow list, a place almost certain to return a seat.
