If a company has profited from apartheid and genocide, they shouldn't be able to profit here in Scotland. The Government definitely shouldn't be helping them do so.

Are you wondering what exactly a green councillor could and would do for you and your ward/area? A Scottish Green Councillor would put you and your neighbours first, fighting for fair and affordable rent and housing and Ensuring our parks and streets stay clean and safe.

Stop calling it a climate problem. Call it what it is: organized greed. The planet isn’t dying. It’s being killed for profit. The killers have names. And boardrooms. #ClimateJustice #StopEcocide

New oil and gas licences: ➡️ will not take a penny off bills ➡️ cannot make us energy secure ➡️ will only accelerate the worsening climate crisis Words straight from Labour's 2024 manifesto. So why are they now preparing to approve the Jackdaw and Rosebank developments?

The issue with any growth associated with AI, beyond the ethical issues with AI itself, is that it is not growth in the economy of the workers, renters or families. It is growth only for those at the top, whilst the rest of us are squeezed tighter into the corners www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

A completely avoidable tragedy. Jason Arday will now be solemnly eulogised by the same journalists who hounded him to death for the sake of spinning this story out a few days longer.

Unite represents a massive cohort of workers across oil and gas, an industry in an inevitable decline. Instead of supporting the growth of new renewable industries, and helping ensure they deliver for our workers, they have decided to demand the workers go down with the sinking ship.

In 2022 we delivered free bus travel for everyone under the age of 22. Today it was announced that over 300 million journeys have been taken under the scheme! Now it's time to go further. Making bus travel free for all would help us build a fairer, greener Scotland.

The violent scenes in Glasgow and across Scotland last night were shocking and my heart and solidarity is with everyone who was abused and intimidated.

We must stand firm against racism and prejudice and can never be complacent about the threat of the far right.

It is vital that we stand together to challenge this toxic and divisive rhetoric that seeks to divide communities across our country.

The Scottish Parliament passed a Green motion to boycott, divest from and sanction Israel. We later found out that no work had started on this proposal. Today I asked the Government when we might see this coming forward. Scotland must not be complicit in genocide.
