For any Your Party Scotland members in Liverpool this weekend, join us on Saturday night for a Fringe gathering from 7pm at the Quaker Meeting House. Open from 7 and starting at 7.30, it's a short walk from the conference centre and bang in the city centre. Come along.

Your Party's founding conference next weekend is an opportunity to put the distractions and drama behind us and refocus on what actually matters: our members, our movement and our shared political vision of socialism. The time is now. Join the movement: yourparty.uk

Want to influence and affect decisions that impact you in Glasgow? Come to our Councillors' Assembly next Wednesday, November 26, to help decide what Glasgow's socialist councillors vote on in the City Chambers. Book now: ticketpass.org/event/EXAQWV...

Regional assemblies this weekend, with @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social in Glasgow. Booking open soon at yourparty.uk/assemblies.

Delighted to welcome Ellie Gomersall to Your Party from the Greens! A proud socialist and trans woman, Ellie’s leadership will be vital in the fight against austerity, for equality and for a socialist Scotland. Excited to work together for the change our communities deserve🫶🏽🏳️‍⚧️

YET another dodgy landlord MP, and this time it's the chancellor of the bloody exchequer. Yet another reason why MPs should be banned from being landlords. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Thoroughly enjoyed speaking at Sheffield Trades Union Council yesterday – the first trade union body to host a Your Party speaker! Grateful to everyone who came to fight for our communities, our trade unions and a democratic socialist party led by the grassroots ❤️

Vital column from @elliebgomersall.bsky.social in @scotnational.bsky.social today. www.thenational.scot/politics/254...

Let’s remember why we’re doing this: to transform society so that everyone can live in dignity. My interview with @tribunemagazine.bsky.social on the need for a real, democratic alternative. tribunemag.co.uk/2025/08/jere...

The deliberate and relentless killing of Palestinian journalists is sickening beyond words — and is a desperate attempt to silence the truth about Israel’s ongoing crimes against humanity. Shame on all those who empowered Israel to murder with impunity.

The solidarity was palpable at the Village Hotel picket today - the first hotel strike since 1979 ✊️ @scottishgreens.org stand in support of the workers and their struggle for equal pay, paid breaks, & basic respect that is sorely missing from the company 💚

Here's my speech against the hateful bile UKIP tried to bring to Glasgow's streets - thankfully we outnumbered them 💚✊️

I'm not running to be Co-leader of the Scottish Greens. I'll keep fighting for people & planet but we need to tackle the cultural issues inside our house first. Members have asked for a cultural review, & I hope leadership candidates make sure it happens. www.thenational.scot/news/2533780...

Top notch 👏

Phenomenal reporting. Very important that someone is holding the government accountable.

Tomorrow's front page 📰 An exclusive report by The Ferret reveals the details of Angus Robertson's meeting with Israeli ambassador Daniela Grudsky

This government made a political choice to make life harder for the sick and disabled. Well done to those MPs who had the courage to speak up for the marginalised and put their constituents first. That is what it means to serve the people.

Suspending your most effective Scottish MP is not the win you think it is. Solidarity with @brianleishmanmp.bsky.social who has been steadfast in his opposition to this regressive Labour government.

Good. It's needed.

Spoiler alert: being an arms firm helps massively.

🟢 Scottish Greens must offer real change for disabled communities 🟢 It’s clear the political status quo is failing and ignoring disabled people... Finlay McIlwraith says it has never been more crucial to have a party who stands up for disabled and neurodivergent communities.

🟢 Ellie Gomersall: Greens must prioritise rights and representation of women and girls 🟢 At last year’s general election, young women were twice as likely to vote Green across the UK than young men were to vote for Reform. @elliebgomersall.bsky.social outlines why we must speak to them.

Rather than encouraging staff to resign for caring about human life - how about Labour MPs who have watched this happen & tried to silence dissent lose their seats instead?

The most senior civil servant in the Foreign Office has advised staff worried about the UK’s “complicity” in the war in Gaza to take the “honourable course” and resign

Just getting round to this excellent episode. Brian and Shafi bang on about the lack of politics in politics. “The way you become an MP or MSP is by nodding along for as long as you can until you’re accepted into the ranks.” A warning ahead of next year’s election for all.

🟢 MSP candidate selections: Green Left Scotland seeks answers 🟢 Just a week left now until campaigning begins in the Scottish Greens’ MSP candidate selections, and there remain a lot of questions to be answered - including from those who want to represent the Scottish Greens.

Journalist request: If you live in Scotland and your employer has recently changed its bathroom policies to exclude trans people, I want to hear from you. Drop me a direct message.

"The Greens need to show they can bring the opposite of what Reform suggests. They will require a clear message and convincing representatives on the regional list." An interesting read from @demleftscotland.bsky.social

We came 3rd in every seat in Glasgow last July. Reform or Green can be very real in Glasgow @glasgowgreens.bsky.social Please come join us fight the far right members.greens.scot/join

🟢 Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse: What should be the Green takeaway 🟢 Now that this divisive campaign is over - how should the Scottish Greens move forward? 1. Ann McGuinness and her local, grassroots campaign are an excellent example of what Greens must do next May.

Over 100 Green Party councillors representing a "wide diversity of seats" have signed a letter backing Zack Polanski’s leadership bid Stuart Jeffery, a Green councillor in Kent, said the London Assembly Member would help the party win over "former Labour Party supporters and members"

🧵💚Being a woman in politics is hard enough, and deciding to stand takes a lot of courage. Sincerely, seeing an MSP badmouthing my branch in the press is really making me want to hide instead of coming forward for anything. I personally don't give a f*ck about interpersonal issues(1/4)

Very disappointed to see two senior men within the Scottish Greens ignore guidance from the party about standing aside to increase diversity. Particularly to see @ross-greer.bsky.social suggesting this @sgpwomen.bsky.social guidance amounts to vote rigging. www.heraldscotland.com/news/2521545...

Happy to see @niallchristie1.bsky.social running! My personal 1 member caucus of the SGP has met and deliberated to endorse Niall.

🟢 Queer climate action: "We must band together for a better world" 🟢 As Pride month gets underway, Green activist @alyson-mackay.bsky.social writes about the importance of intersectionality, and the LGBTQIA+ community, in the climate movement, and how people can affect change.

Really encouraging to see this. @mothinali.bsky.social in a leadership position would be a game changer for Greens - not just in England - but across Britain. A real break from the party establishment - Scottish Greens, take note.

I've written for The Ferret about Citizens Advice Scotland - who may be discriminating against transgender staff after changing its bathroom policy following the Supreme Court ruling. Read more: theferret.scot/citizens-adv...

Excellent reporting @stephpaton.bsky.social.

🟢 Why Scotland's political landscape cannot deliver a Nouveau Front Populaire 🟢 Responding to Green Left Scotland's article on political coalition building, Allan Gray writes about the challenges facing any project to ally different parties of the left in Scotland.

🟢 No National Park: A betrayal of working-class communities 🟢 @lauramoodie.bsky.social writes about the decision to reject the creation of a new National Park - a glaring example of how the interests of wealthy landowners and businesses continue to overshadow the needs of working-class communities.
