Today we're bringing a vote to deliver a moratorium on hyperscale data centres in Scotland. The Scottish Parliament will have a simple choice. MSPs can stand with the communities they represent, protect our environment and our resources. Or they can fail to act.
Vote today. Scottish Greens force vote on haling hyperscale data centres.

The 24 proposed hyper-scale data centres in Scotland would use over 1.5 times the country's total peak power use. That would mean higher prices for the rest of us. Tomorrow we're bringing a vote to the Scottish Parliament to urgently stop new applications.

The future of Scotland must be decided by the people of Scotland. To make that a reality the power to hold an independence referendum must be devolved to the Scottish Parliament. Democracy isn't about having a vote whenever Andy Burnham decides.

Another Labour election loser whose principles melt away at the first chance of a job for life without any pesky voters to worry about.
Giving a speech in Westminster, in which he also ruled out any pact or coalition with Nicola Sturgeon’s Scottish National party (SNP), Anas Sarwar said: “A central part of the mission of the Labour party must be to renew democracy.

“The House of Lords, in its current form, as an institution has no place in 21st-century politics. It is unacceptable, and has been for far too long, to have unelected representatives wielding such power.
