On 7th May, Scotland elects a new parliament. I’m standing again for the Scottish Greens, as number 3 on the South Scotland list. Please back us. We need cash, and we need volunteers. Let’s elect Laura and Ann, to push for urgent action, to protect what we love. www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/dominic-as...

Last week, @scottishgreens.org members elected our new co-leaders: @gillianmacmsp.bsky.social and @ross-greer.bsky.social. I wish them - @lornaslater.bsky.social - absolutely all the best with what's next, and I'm very grateful to those of you who backed my campaign. Thank you! 💐 #ProtectWhatWeLove

Prof Paul Ekins: "at 700 ppm, which is a highly possible future CO2 concentration... the median average temperature increase would be 3.4 degrees C, but there is an 11% chance that it would reach a civilisation-ending 6 degrees C." #ProtectWhatWeLove #ClimateLeadership #ScottishGreens

STV's Scotland Tonight yesterday covered the @scottishgreens.org co-leader election. I told them that in these dangerous times the Greens need to be the truth-tellers calling out the crisis and helping communities prepare for what's coming. #ScottishGreens #BackDominic #ProtectWhatWeLove #VoteNow

What if politicians and the market aren't actually in control of #EarthSystemsCollapse? What if they don't have a plan to save us? We end up needing to fall back on mutual support in our local communities. #ScottishGreens #BackDominic #ProtectWhatWeLove #VoteNow

Action on #EarthSystemsCollapse - the breakdown of climate, nature and the basis of our life on Earth - is a matter of (inter)national security. That's why I'm unapologetic in speaking about the predictions of 2, 3, 4 degrees of heating and 3 billion people displaced. #BackDominic #ProtectWhatWeLove

🗳 Voting in the @scottishgreens.org internal elections is open until Friday at noon. We're choosing people to fill a host of positions, including the two co-leaders. So far as I recall from past occasions, turnout can be as low as 10-20%. This is just a shout-out to encourage members please to vote!

At Peebles Show today. Just love the Clydesdales. Also great memories of showing our Soay and Shetland sheep when I was a kid. Great to see the poultry tent back in action, too! Such a special annual event for our community.

As a former member of the Climate Assembly for Scotland, Ellie Clarke well understands the severity of the upcoming climate chaos, and the scale and urgency of what we need to do to secure a safer future. Above all, we must support one another. #ScottishGreens #BackDominic #ProtectWhatWeLove 💚

Jonas Laursen asked how I felt about the Bute House Agreement. Answer: mostly in favour. But when climate targets were abruptly abandoned, it became clear we must speak much more plainly about the future. #ScottishGreens #BackDominic #ProtectWhatWeLove Full video 👉 youtu.be/AEe8Mvc_lkE?...

Neil made made history in 2022 by being elected in Galashiels & District: the first ever Green councillor in the Borders. A great champion for the folk of Gala, he's also a brilliant bagpiper and good friend. My first councillor endorsement. 🍾🎉 #scottishgreens #BackDominic #ProtectWhatWeLove

Endorsement: "Dominic has a long history of campaigning on environmental issues and has been a strong voice calling for the need for urgent action to combat the growing climate emergency. He offers something different to the other candidates and would be a perfect foil for any of them if he were to be elected."

A Green since 1979, Linda Hendry has been a candidate for all levels of UK politics, currently attends two Cross Party Groups at Holyrood, and is former Co-Chair of the Ecology Party. I’m truly encouraged by her support. #BackDominic #ProtectWhatWeLove

Endorsement: "I have known Dominic since the 1980s, when he was an enthusiastic young party volunteer. More recently I have attended public workshops which he facilitated with sensitivity and skill. These are essential qualities both within the party and for successful engagement with the public, civic society and Green councillors as we accelerate urgently needed change. That's why I'm backing Dominic for co-leader."

Barbra's academic career in environmental science and restoration ecology, contribution to national committees, and tireless work building up the Borders branch makes her a valuable servant of the party and a formidable green champion. I'm proud to have her support. #BackDominic #ProtectWhatWeLove

Endorsement: "I'm backing Dominic because it's time for a co-leader who presents a strong and consistent voice for action against global climate chaos. Someone who can interact directly with party members, the media and the public to highlight our core values even when they're not on the political agenda. Someone who's not constrained by the issues of parliamentary business but can work to support those who are."

Tim has been a stalwart of my local branch for over a decade now, raising campaign funds, organising regional conferences and serving as election agent to many of our candidates in the Borders over the years. I am delighted to have his support. #BackDominic #ProtectWhatWeLove

Headline: I'm backing Dominic Ashmole for Co-Leader. Picture of DA. Endorsement, Tim Clancey: It is now clear that our politics and our elected politicians have failed to address the impending climate disaster or even prepare us for what lies ahead. I'm backing Dominic because we desperately need political leaders who are prepared to tell us the truth and not just what they think we want to hear. #ProtectWhatWeLove linktr.ee/dominic.ashmole

Dominic Ashmole @dashmolean.bsky.social · 03/08/2025

We need to talk more about #adaptation. Not to give up on decarbonisation - but because the already unavoidable future heating is very, very bad. #ProtectWhatWeLove

Dominic Ashmole @dashmolean.bsky.social · 30/06/2025

Here's my pitch to all Scottish Greens in South Scotland, asking you to place me high on the regional list for Holyrood. Voters here have backed me time and again. Together, we must ignite a #CivicUprising, to salvage prospects for #LifeOnEarth. Please give me a high preference vote. Thank you.

Dominic Ashmole @dashmolean.bsky.social · 29/06/2025

Happy about government CCS investment? They're a smokescreen for continued fossil fuel extraction. Let's give that cash to poorer households for energy saving measures, raising them from poverty and reducing emissions. We need a #CivicUprising against corporate capture of government. #ForLifeOnEarth

Dominic Ashmole @dashmolean.bsky.social · 28/06/2025

International Panel on Climate Change prediction: catastrophe. This science motivates my political career. Some political/media organisations are bankrolled by corporate interests who don't want you to know or believe how much damage they're wreaking on the world. Don't imagine they're on your side.

Dominic Ashmole @dashmolean.bsky.social · 27/06/2025

I support the #RewildingNation proposals from the Scottsh Rewilding Alliance. But we desperately need action at pace and at scale - and it must go hand in hand with rapid decarbonisation of global economies. This requires more than electoral politics. It demands a civic #uprising - #ForLifeOnEarth.

My talk to the Tweeddale Society "Tweeddale 2024-2044: Loving responses in the decades of collapse". I review the current climate/nature science, before presenting an imagined tale of how one rural community might respond. How might your tale differ? www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Happy to see such a strong list of potential candidates for the @scottishgreens.org South Scotland #Holyrood2026 list. Local members, please consider my record and cast a vote my way. Meanwhile, anyone up for helping shift a few thousand of these? Message me!
