I believe the Real Greens have just been IGV'd out of a second seat in Mid Scotland and Fife. Huge questions for Electoral Commission to answer after two elections of this.

Summarising today's polls on Scotland Tonight: a moment my most angry "Ballot Box Scotland is a Green stooge" detractors will feel very vindicated by... but I didn't make the polls add over 1% and *4* MSPs to the Green tally in my projection model today, take it up with Ipsos, YouGov and Survation!

It's critical that we secure that pro-independence majority tomorrow and stop Reform from becoming the largest opposition party - the best way to do both is by voting @scottishgreens.org on your regional (peach coloured) ballot paper 💚🗳️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

A lot has happened since 2014. If Scotland elects a pro-independence majority, that's a democratic mandate to pursue independence.

This is less than 1 minute. Short discussion with Alan Cumming highlights that SNP 1 and 2 will benefit Reform. Give your second vote to a different progressive party. Reform know they can benefit from the second vote. But most importantly, VOTE on 7th May! 🗳️ Spread the word 📣

A shockingly quiet period for polling despite the looming election is finally broken with a very much "as you were" feeling: the SNP on track to win, Labour and Reform scrapping for second, and possibly improved Greens.

Without significant increases in UK food system and supply chain resilience, it is unlikely the UK would be able to maintain food security if ecosystem collapse drives geopolitical competition for food. Countries best placed to adapt are those that invest in ecosystem protection and restoration...

Dominic Ashmole @dashmolean.bsky.social · 20/01/2026
All countries are exposed to the risks of ecosystem collapse within and beyond their borders. Some will be exposed sooner than others and are likely to act to secure their interests, particularly water and food security.

Dominic Ashmole @dashmolean.bsky.social · 20/01/2026
There is a realistic possibility that some ecosystems (such as coral reefs in South East Asia and boreal forests) start to collapse from 2030, and others (rainforests and mangroves) start to collapse from 2050.

Dominic Ashmole @dashmolean.bsky.social · 20/01/2026
Ecosystem degradation is occurring across all regions. Every critical ecosystem is on a pathway to collapse (irreversible loss of function beyond repair).
100
Dominic Ashmole @dashmolean.bsky.social · 20/01/2026
Cascading risks of ecosystem degradation are likely to include geopolitical instability, economic insecurity, conflict, migration and increased inter-state competition for resources.

Dominic Ashmole @dashmolean.bsky.social · 20/01/2026
Global ecosystem degradation and collapse threaten UK national security and prosperity. The world is already experiencing impacts including crop failures, intensified natural disasters and infectious disease outbreaks. Threats will increase with degradation and intensify with collapse.
