Would you rather power 1 data centre or 2 million homes. Join the campaign. Reject Chapelcross data centre.

The typical household gas bill has gone up by 33% since April. Clean renewable energy generation is Scotland's best path to energy security and lower bills.
Carbon Brief. Wind and solar save UK from gas imports worth £5.9bn during Hormuz crisis. Wind and solar have generated a record 41% share of the UK’s electricity needs in 2026 to date, compared with 25% from gas.

This is good, important reporting. If the situation were reversed though, I doubt 'Terrorist attack' would be in quotation marks. The Guardian would be perfectly comfortable calling it what it is in the headline.

‘Terrorist attack’ by Israeli settlers on Palestinian family in West Bank condemned
Settler violence in West Bank makes everyday life ‘untenable’ for Palestinians, says ICRC after assault on family trying to return home in Jalud The ICRC has warned that Israeli settler violence in the West Bank has made everyday life for Palestinians “untenable”, as a mob attack on Palestinians trying to return home prompted one of Benjamin Netanyahu’s main rivals to warn of a campaign of settler terror. More than a hundred militant settlers overwhelmed Israeli security forces early on Tuesday to attack a Palestinian family as they attempted to reclaim their homes which had been seized by settlers in the West Bank village of Jalud. Three Israeli security officials were injured and houses were set on fire. Continue reading...

I'm still quite stunned by this. It was genuinely one of the most disgraceful speeches I've heard in a decade as an MSP - and from someone I thought much better of.

At the peak of the fossil fuel divestment movement c2019 we were told it was no longer needed because of all the 'net zero' and 'just transition' pledges the oil & gas companies were making. We knew it was bullshit. We've been proven right. Expect amnesia rather than apologies from their defenders.

The @scottishgreens.org will engage constructively & in good faith. We can see where the govt has already quoted from the proposals we made over the summer. That is welcome, but this process needs to result in the genuine transfer of power to communities, not just regionalisation.

And most concerning is the implicit suggestion that sorting out the finances will come afterwards. So, 40yrs on from the Council Tax and 24yrs since the SNP won power promising to scrap it, we could get to the 2031 election with a wildly unfair and broken system still in place.

The suggested powers for the community authorities are extremely limited. They could decide on your application for a conservatory but not applications to actually build homes or commercial premises.

Ross Greer (he/him) @ross-greer.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
And 120-160 'community authorities' is FAR more than the 53 district councils we had pre-96. That suggests making them so 'local' they won't have meaningful powers. But again, sticking with the same cllrs as present means what? A Milngavie Community Authority of 3 cllrs?

Regional councils could make sense for services where there is more value in delivery at scale than local discretion, but merging 29 councils into 6-8 mainland regions and sticking with the current no. of councillors suggests a new Strathclyde council with 350-450 elected reps 🤯

The Scottish Green Party supports Ukraine
We publish below the policy passed by the Scottish Green Party at its 2023 Autumn Conference. The party is affiliated to and works with Ukraine Solidarity Campaign Scotland, and its co-leader Ross Greer is one of USCS's sponsors. You can contact USCS, and via it Green Ukraine Solidarity activists in Scotland, at uscscotland@gmail.com. Preamble In the light of the continuing Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the genocidal nature of that invasion, it is important that the Scottish Green Party affirms its support for the Ukrainian people in resisting that invasion, and for those progressive civil society organisations working to defend women, children, minorities and the environment in extraordinarily difficult circumstances.

In the last decade, the IDF prosecuted one (1) soldier for unlawfully killing a Palestinian in the occupied territories. Elor Azaria served 9 months in prison. Today Israel's president, Yitzhak Herzog, pardoned him and expunged his criminal record. A clear message of 100% impunity.

  This had become the new normal. RNLI crew members had been forced to take their permits off their cars after their tyres have been repeatedly slashed. Most of them have been pilloried at the school gates or turned away from local pubs. One man who worked in search and rescue had been beaten unconscious and hospitalised, recognised for TV interviews he had done.

Great to see @ross-greer.bsky.social highlighting the issue of public and coerced debt as a tactic of coercive control. Public debt, and the systems in place to recover it, too often trap families in poverty and can prevent women and children safely fleeing domestic abuse.

Burnham knew this would be the result of dropping his pledge to cap political donations, but he did it anyway. Labour are determined to midwife a Reform government, like plenty of other centrist parties before them whose weakness paved the way for right wing extremists.
