A report from Niall Christie, CEC Scotland rep. CEC meeting, March 8, 2026. Please note Niall will be unavailable for at least a few days. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Great to be at the first @thisisyourparty.bsky.social CEC meeting last night. I've prepared a short report with Scottish members in mind. Massive thanks again for all the support as we look to build up here. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Now three weeks on from Your Party Scotland founding conference in Dundee, the interim Scottish Executive Committee (SEC) is increasingly concerned about the lack of communication with Your Party, and the lack of communications to members in Scotland. (1/4)

In case anyone wanted to know where the future of the active left is in Scotland, @niallchristie1.bsky.social got nearly twice as many votes for the Your Party executive committee as Ross Greer got for co-leader of the Greens.

Extremely proud to be elected to the CEC of @thisisyourparty.bsky.social. A massive thanks to the 570 members in Scotland who put their faith in me, and an equally big thanks to all the others who backed Jim and Ian - who I look forward to continue working with as we build Your Party Scotland.

Thanks to @scotnational.bsky.social for this on the People's Budget put forward by @thisisyourparty.bsky.social councillors. Councillors of all parties can choose to further decimate the communities they represent, or invest in real change. The choice is theirs. www.thenational.scot/news/2587660...

Huge thanks to everyone who joined our hustings, and to Ian Drummond and Niall Christie for a really clear and constructive exchange. It’s exactly the kind of political discussion we need as we move toward the CEC election!

North of the border, particularly with the votes this past weekend to establish an independent, autonomous Your Party Scotland, we need a combative and strong voice fighting for us on the CEC. I can be that voice. Vote now. Vote Niall #1 in.yourparty.uk/en/vote/dash...

Very happy to announce that I'll be holding a joint event next Tuesday at 7pm with @niallchristie1.bsky.social about the Welsh and Scottish YP formation and a Q&A afterwards!

Hi, I’m Lizzie. I’m the co-chair of the Cardiff proto-branch of Your Party and I am standing to be the representative for Welsh voices on the CEC.

The Home Office thinks it can get away with removing the right to protest by telling us how it important it is that people have the right to protest.

Scottish Labour made up a fake quote from a woman called Claire, put it on their leaflets and delivered it to thousands of homes - but when Anas Sarwar is asked about it, he takes it as a chance to spin on his talking points about maternity wards. vm.tiktok.com/ZNRkN6HLk/

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 ❤️

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.

🟢 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.
