Green MSPs joined hundreds of people in Edinburgh to call for an immediate moratorium on Scotland’s datacentre boom, which includes one project in The Lammermuirs, East Lothian. Join us in the campaign to halt this! greens.scot/datacentres

If every hyperscale data centre application in Scotland was built, they'd consume more than 1.5 times our entire peak electricity use. We urgently need a pause on these applications.

Scotland's beavers are back! 🦫 Scottish Greens introduced funding for reintroducing beavers to Scotland's countryside; now we are seeing these incredible animals restore rivers, reduce flooding, and rebuild ecosystems.

Scotland's facing a wave of hyper-scale data centre applications. If built they'd consume more than 1.5 times our peak electricity use, with no requirement to assess their environmental impact. We need to ensure our economy works for everyone, not just tech billionaires. ➡️ greens.scot/datacentres

Bills up. Wages too low. Record profits for Oil & Gas. 50 richest families with more wealth than 50% of population. Shit in our rivers. Pensioners jailed for protesting. Migrants thrown under the bus. Supporting a Genocide. That's Starmer's legacy.

The current situation is completely unsustainable. With the large number of hyper-scale proposals, it's beyond time for the Scottish Government to act. 👉 Add your voice: greens.scot/datacentres

Scotland is facing a wave of applications for hyperscale data centres. If the 24 announced so far were approved they'd take up more than 1.5 times Scotland's peak demand in electricity. We need an immediate pause until a clear national strategy is set out. 👉 greens.scot/datacentres

Hyperscale data centres threaten huge local damage, consume vast amounts of electricity and undermine decades of work to decarbonise Scotland. And all to enrich some of the world's least responsible corporate giants. Join us in calling for a halt to these developments. greens.scot/datacentres

I wonder if the voters of East Lothian would have given Mr Alexander a mandate had they realised at the time he’d been lined up for the selection by Mandelson? Not exactly the change we were promised, eh…

Decisions about Scotland should be made by the people who live here. There’s a clear pro-independence majority in the Scottish Parliament and that majority voted for a referendum. For politicians in London to deny that choice is a democratic outrage.
The National. UK rejects Scottish Parliament call for independence referendum.

To view Scottish independence as a single issue separate from everything else, is looking at it through a Westminster lens. Independence is the answer to the cost of living, growing the economy and improving public services. How do we know? Every other country does it. #indyref2

The Sunday Times Rich List shows a ridiculous amount of wealth in the hands of a tiny number of powerful people. Scotland is not poor. The problem is that too much wealth has been hoarded by the billionaires, landowners, oil barons, property empires and bus bosses. greens.scot/news/scottis...

The King’s Speech shows exactly why Scotland should be independent. Laws written by a government we didn’t choose, delivered by a an unelected multi-millionaire. None of it serves Scotland. #abolishthemonarchy #kingsspeech

When we invest in childcare we're investing in parents and children, and in building a society where families can flourish. Scottish Greens would provide: 🟢 570 hours of funded childcare for every child aged 6 months to 2 years 🟢 1140 hours for all 2 year olds
The Scotsman. Scottish Greens urge SNP to match universal
free childcare pledge. The Scottish Greens say the SNP’s manifesto promises on childcare are ‘lacking in detail’.
