I was tortured as a child because I was gay. Humiliated. Punished. Threatened. Denied healthcare. I very nearly died. If the Scottish Government are too afraid of the SNP right-wing to ban conversion therapy, spare us the bullshit excuses, do us the dignity of admitting it.

I spoke at the rally of work Green Councillors have done, including those now in Your Party. Building a popular movement against those who wish to truly wreck our communities like Reform isn't done via petty tweeting, but working where we can for Scotland's People & our Planet before Profit ✊💚

Disgusting to see Glasgow’s Reform wannabe MSPs talking about concentration camps and Reform councillors spreading racist lies about Sharia law Reform politicians are a bunch of frauds and liars whipping up fear and hate to get themselves elected

The Scottish Greens ended the day of councillor defections with more members than they'd started the day on. It's more than disappointing they left the party to sign up to a non-entity instead and they were active campaigners - but saying they left a huge hole in SGP member numbers is simply false.

A new poll puts us in second place! With 7 MSPs we delivered free bus travel under 22s, ended peak rail fares, banned new incinerators, increased taxes on the rich, scrapped school meal debt, introduced rent controls, and much more. Imagine what we could do with double that. 👀
Record poll. Scottish Greens on course for best ever result. Scottish Parliament regional list vote. SNP: 21%. Greens: 16.5%. Reform: 16%. Labour: 15%. Tories: 11%. Lib Dems: 10%.

Glasgow is facing a crisis, not because of refugees, but because of politicians like Starmer trying to out-racist Farage Refugees are welcome in Glasgow. The UK Govt making them more likely to end up homeless just means more opportunity for racist politicians to whip up division

Scotland's richest 2% now have more wealth than half the population combined. At today's #FMQs we asked the First Minister why shooting estates owned by billionaires still pay no business rates. We’re losing millions of pounds that could go towards our schools, libraries, and hospitals.
End tax breaks for the super rich. Tax shooting estates. Scottish Greens.

I worked on this guidance when the @scottishgreens.org were in Government. My main aim was to make uniforms cheaper and help families with the cost of living. Great to see councils start to implement it. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Branded uniforms no longer compulsory at Edinburgh schools
Schools will continue to have uniforms but the relaxed rules aim to lower costs for parents and carers.

Can the @scottishgreens.org counter Reform? A generic anti-Farage message would see us squeezed by the SNP next May. We need to do more than that. We're the only party willing to tell an angry public who is really making their lives worse. Fixing a rigged system must be our offer to voters.

Can Greens be the challenge to Reform in Scotland?
People are right to be angry - the system is rigged - but it’s billionaires we should be angry at, not immigrants

I’m glad to see our party’s briefing and bullying problem getting called out. Too many people have been made ill, forced out of involvement, and driven to quit jobs or roles through bullying and bad behaviour. Any new leader needs to lead our culture in a new direction.

Heating up homes and buildings is one of Scotland’s biggest greenhouse gas sources. Greens in Government had a plan to cut emissions and energy bills - the SNP have just ditched it. The only way to tackle the climate crisis is with Greens in Government.

I know that firing public sector workers is popular if you label them "bureaucrats", but who exactly is Sarwar talking about? Everyone I know in the NHS has told me at least one way in which the chipping away of managerial and support staff has led to that workload falling on frontline workers.
