The guidance issued yesterday is a disgrace, and shows just how low Labour have sunk since the days when they believed in equality and human rights. But this is far from over. Legally, politically and practically, this can and will be fought. greens.scot/news/ehrc-gu...

So far Burnham has committed to: - not changing the voting system. -not changing the spending rules. - not changing the decline of labour. So what actually will he do?

The Labour Party is institutionally transphobic, it is an outright enemy of the UK's LGBT community, and none of us should even consider giving it our vote for a second so long as that remains the case.

Central Edinburgh Greens started campaigning for this in April 2025, ramping up massively over the last months and weeks. It’s been hard work but also fun. What a result! First constituency MSPs and 4 overall in the region. We did more than just blow the bloody doors off!

Congratulations to our new MSPs! Thank you to everyone who helped in our biggest campaign yet and to everyone who voted Green. You've helped elect four people who will work for a kinder and greener Edinburgh 💚 If you'd like to join us, you can do so via this link; members.greens.scot/join/standar...

I feel like I've been clear in the past that it Would Be Bad if Trump was assassinated in office, but let me reiterate that It Would Be Bad. I want to see the president pass away peacefully in prison after facing trial for his crimes (and having to watch us tear down his ballroom and arch).

Absolute dereliction of duty by an MP: a major employer and driving force of local and national economy is not their ‘industrial focus’. Apparently the educating and training of doctors, nurses, teachers, lawyers, scientists, engineers, researchers…IS. NOT. THEIR. INUDSTRIAL. FOCUS.

Your landlord is voting. Your boss is voting. Make sure you vote as well. No matter where you live in Scotland, you can vote Scottish Greens on the peach ballot paper. 👉 www.gov.uk/register-to-vote.

Anyone who received their postal ballot today in the South of Scotland region, please be aware that "Independent Green Voice", which appears second on the list on the peach regional ballot paper, is NOT the Scottish Green Party. This is in fact a deliberate vote spoiling attempt by right-wingers.

It really is quite egregious to be pointing at Labour and saying they can't beat the Conservatives when on the new boundaries Labour are ahead of them in 2021 terms, never mind the complete Conservative collapse in the polls. This is simply embarrassing, Angus.

@edinburghcouncil.bsky.social @livingstreetsedi.bsky.social @stephenjenkinson.bsky.social @sw20.info Cycling along Princes St is dangerous for lots of reasons but the road surface where it meets tram lines is now the worst ever. It can’t remain like this *any longer* or someone will die under a bus

This is why the 25th Amendment exists. This is the purpose of having the 25th Amendment. To not use this power to remove the president is not a passive act, a mere option: it is a positive decision to misuse the constitution.

A new tax on fee-paying schools could raise millions to support education across Scotland. Every child deserves the best start in life. Scottish Greens will make sure the rich pay their fair share to build a better future for everyone.

Make sure you vote for the right Greens on May 7th.

So many people were upset this turned out to be an April Fools they've set up a Change.org petition 😂 c.org/sTYnMyRvrn

This is a group that is led by a man who was chucked out of UKIP for Holocaust denial. We are going to make it absolutely clear to people that the only real Green option on the ballot paper is the option that says Scottish Greens! 💚

There is absolutely nothing “green” about this bunch. They treat politics as a game - this time seeking to confuse would-green voters.

John Swinney seems determined to make sure everyone knows that if you care about climate action, you have to vote Green.

✊ Transport committee votes for Greenbank to Meadows quiet route permanence (‘Option C’) 🥳 Still to be ratified at TRO Sub-committee in June (dare they try it on?) but a significant win for one of the few measures supporting active travel in South Edinburgh. 🚲💕

Very Important Notice: Please be aware of the issue described below, and make sure everyone you know who will be voting in the May election in Scotland know about it:

💚 To vote Green in this election - vote for the Scottish Greens 💚 The far-right so-called “Independent Green Voice” is running in every region on the back of this in 2021. The Electoral Commission had a chance to sort this out and now IGV will try the same trick across eight regions instead of two.

😡

After seeing GORE BRIDGE on a bus one too many times, I decided to make a fantasy map using only #Edinburgh termini names of Lothian Buses.

😂😂😂 got you! (we're just messing about with books)

Integrated ticketing is already normal across Europe. It allows people to use one ticket to travel across different buses, trains, trams, subways and ferries. Our ScotCard would allow Scotland to do the same, using a 'tap-on, tap-off' system with daily price caps. 🚌🚆⛴️

Personally if I'd been associated with the Alba Party and repeatedly exaggerated their prospects for success, I might consider not taking poorly informed swipes at three sources - myself, @devolvedelections.bsky.social and @markmcgeoghegan.bsky.social - who have taken reasonable modelling positions!

And we’re off… Only the @scottishgreens.org are offering the bold change that Scotland needs! 💚 #VoteScottishGreens

Young women voters who backed the SNP under Nicola Sturgeon's leadership are now moving to the Scottish Greens, @gillianmackaygreen.bsky.social tells reporters at her party's campaign launch. @heraldscotland.bsky.social www.heraldscotland.com/news/2597106...

Errrrrrrr... That's not remotely ok

Not sure why so many people appear to be in an emotional relationship with using fossil fuels.

The second is this piece on the US bombing of Shajareh Tayyebeh primary school in Iran, which killed between 175 and 180 people, most of them girls under twelve years of age. The US are committing war crimes, abetted by a tech company on the UK government payroll. www.theguardian.com/news/2026/ma...

jk rowling spends money she makes from harry potter on stripping rights away from me personally. this is not a hypothetical scenario. that's where it goes if you buy wizard crap.

Is it a giant wooden horse

Join us this Sunday with special guest Natalie Bennett to help elect @lornaslater.bsky.social in Edinburgh Central! It's just over a month until the election, so every conversation counts to get even more @scottishgreens.org elected to the Scottish Parliament. @nataliegreenpeer.bsky.social

This is heartbreaking. Please stop for a moment and consider the children caught up in this. Imagine you're a trans child - already a difficult experience, to put it mildly - and you've found a hobby you enjoy with friends, and now you're being kicked out for being trans. It's cruel.

A lot less cars at Flora Stevenson school drop off during the weekly bike bus. Look at all those kids on bikes! Having a #bikebus means healthier happier kids & parents with less pollution and traffic congestion. @stephenjenkinson.bsky.social @spokes.org.uk @coachbalto.bsky.social @edi.bike

As a cis woman it is hard to find the words to articulate how I feel about my safety being used as a pretence for this egregious bullying of children

So, about those Eid prayers in London... "What's the highest thing in Trafalgar Square?" "Nelson's column, innit?" "And the highest thing on the column?" "Nelson." "And on Nelson?" "His hat." "And the highest thing on his hat?" "That bit that sticks up." 1/8
