📢 Come get involved in the campaign! 📆 There's canvassing dates across the West Scotland region this month - come along and help us get Ross and Cara elected 💚 Check with your branch for more information

A new era. 💚 Gillian Mackay and Ross Greer elected as Scottish Greens Co-Leaders.

New leaders AND a new shade of green? What a day

💚 An interim evaluation of the Nature Restoration Fund has called it "a vital mechanism for facilitating biodiversity recovery, enhancing ecosystem resilience and improving environmental sustainability". ✊ Green policies making a real difference for planet.

What a top team we have in West Scotland! A lot of work to do ahead of next May, but I'm excited to see both Ross and Cara take their seats in Holyrood next year 👏

THANK YOU to @scottishgreens.org members for overwhelmingly reselecting me as our lead candidate for the West of Scotland! I'm looking forward to Cara joining me in Parliament 💚 From cancelling school meals debts to the #SaveLochLomond campaign, I will continue delivering for our communities

🚫 Trump's not welcome here. 👎 Potentially coming to Scotland later this month, I'm sure plenty will make their views known if he touches down.

A very enjoyable evening spent canvassing in the sunshine at Milngavie ☀️ Some great chats with locals discussing their concerns

✍️ There's just 10 days left to respond to the Scottish Government's rent control consultation. 🗣️ Use the recommended consultation response to make it as easy as possible! 🔗 greens.scot/news/housing-bill-recommended-consultation-response

Projecting Ipsos 12-18 Jun into seats (changes vs 25-31 Jan 24(!) / vs 2021; both on new boundaries): SNP ~ 59 (+2 / -4) Lab ~ 23 (-18 / +2) Reform UK ~ 17 (+17 / +17) Green ~ 16 (+5 / +6) Con ~ 7 (-7 / -24) Lib Dem ~ 7 (+1 / +3) (Projection caveats: ballotbox.scot/projections)

Anas Sarwar seems to be challenging Scotland's progressive tax system won by the @scottishgreens.org. A system where the better-off pay more and the people on lower incomes pay less, whilst raising over £1.5bn extra for public services, is a fairer system. www.heraldscotland.com/news/2528185...

Ardrossan Harbour must be nationalised. Privatised ports have been a disaster. Owners based in overseas tax havens like Peel Ports squeeze out all the profit they can whilst failing my constituents on Arran & in Ardrossan. I was proud to speak at the Save Ardrossan Harbour rally.

👏 This is what the devolved social security system should be about - material differences that will improve people's lives 📊 11% of children in West Dunbartonshire live in a family affected by the two-child limit. I'm glad that's finally going to be addressed.

🚨 The Scottish Government has listened to the 50,000 people who demanded they recall the approval of Flamingo Land's destructive Loch Lomond mega-resort plans! Ministers will now consider the application directly, not leave it up to officials. They must reject it and end this sorry saga ⛔🦩

Good to be with @scottishgreens.org and the local community at Holyrood for the #SaveLochLomond rally. This place means the world to so many. It deserves protection, not some resort. People power stopped this before. We can do it again. ✍️ greens.scot/lochlomond

Thanks so much to everyone, including our MSP, Ross Greer, who came to help us chat to folk in marvellous Millport this afternoon.

The @scottishgreens.org secured a School Meal Debt Fund to wipe school meal debt across Scotland. It turns out that the Scottish Labour administration in West Dunbartonshire didn’t collect this funding and are still chasing pupils for debt their families can't afford to pay.

📰 We are becoming a deserted island rather than one made up of strangers. An ageing population, a low birth rate and the impacts of a "turn our backs" Brexit means Scotland needs migration more than ever. Read my article for the Edinburgh Evening News below ⬇️

155,000 objections. The most unpopular planning application in Scottish history. Overturned by Scottish Government officials. Write to Planning Minister Ivan McKee and tell him to act now to #SaveLochLomond. greens.scot/LochLomond

It's a gorgeous week out there ☀️

A year since the Scottish Government declared a housing emergency. Makes you wonder what more could've been done had our Scottish Green MSPs not voted against a housing emergency 6 months earlier. 🤷‍♂️

In these times of hostility against LGBTQ+ people, let's remember that it doesn't have to be this way. Just nine years ago, this was the position. I was there, and it felt like an astonishing celebration of progress. We got there before. We can get back there again. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scot...

Genuinely have no idea what Anas Sarwar stands for when his positions only become known days later after getting instructions from Keir Starmer's office.

😍 Exciting to go along and cross the new bridge connecting West Dunbartonshire and Renfrewshire! Who doesn't love some brand new infrastructure.

9 years ago Scotland voted to remain in the European Union. An independent Scotland could rejoin the EU, regain our rights as European citizens, and work with our friends across the continent to build a fairer, greener Europe. #EuropeDay 🇪🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

A commitment to ban conversion therapy in Scotland has been in every Programme for Government of this parliamentary term. It won't be in John Swinney's one next week.

📊 A new month and a new poll confirming the @scottishgreens.org are on track for record MSPs at next year's election. ✊ Plenty of work to do to make it happen!

Workers today continue to face threats on all fronts; ongoing structural racism and the rise of the far right, ever growing inequality and the climate crisis. This May Day, remember collective power is our greatest strength.

Happy new Scottish Parliament boundary day to all that are celebrating - and a welcome to Cardonald who has been annexed from Glasgow to join us in West 👋

💚 A good day on the doors with @ayrshiregreens.bsky.social in North Ayrshire! ☔ Despite another rainy session, I've been reliably informed it isn't always wet round here!

A whole year since the Bute House Agreement ended, making it pretty much 1 year of the SNP backsliding from green achievements in pursuit of regaining some support... despite still basically not polling any higher than with greens in government 🤷‍♂️

Glad to see @markruskell.bsky.social lodge his bill to ban greyhound racing for good in Scotland There's only 9 countries in the world that still allow commercial greyhound racing - if passed, Scotland would join Wales in removing ourselves from that list.

Today I launch my Bill to end greyhound racing in Scotland. Greyhound racing is a cruel sport that causes a huge amount of harm to dogs. Far too many have been killed or badly injured on the tracks. news.stv.tv/politics/mil...

🌍We only have one planet. 🌍We only have one chance. On Earth Day and every day, we must all work to build a cleaner, greener and brighter future.

Who are Scottish Labour even meant to be standing for anymore?

“No Scot should be able to travel across the world to participate in a genocide and then return home without consequence." - @ross-greer.bsky.social

🚫 Cancel Trump's Visit ✊ A poll in The National today shows a majority of Scots agree with the @scottishgreens.org and that we should cancel the second visit

The Scottish Government have confirmed the concessionary ferry vouchers extension, secured and announced by Patrick Harvie when a minister, will finally go ahead in June Whilst scaled back, it's a further enhancement to the travel benefits young Scots get thanks to @scottishgreens.org

📸 We all had a great time at #SGPconf in Stirling today. Thanks to everyone behind the scenes that makes it possible!

💚 Always a good time at conference (feat. team Dunbartonshire)

Abolish the Lords. It's ridiculous for us to be ruled by unelected Lords that we have no way to remove.

Great day at the Springfest food and drink festival at Loch Lomond Shores. Managed to nab some good fries to go with the sun 🍟

Had a good time at the weekend popping down to Largs for the @ayrshiregreens.bsky.social cakes, coffee and canvassing day. Not even torrential rain could stop them! Feels a lifetime ago now with the change of weather ☀️
