The SNP's wrecking amendment to this motion has sadly passed, confirming that the Scottish Government no longer opposes the Rosebank oil field application. A huge step backwards and a sad day for Scotland's reputation on climate action.

🚨 BREAKING The SNP have just blocked our motion, confirming they no longer oppose the Rosebank oil field application. If Rosebank goes ahead it'll be a grave act of environmental vandalism. This is a huge step backwards for Scotland's climate action.

I wonder what her net worth is..

why ever would alice heathcoat armory, i mean thompson, worry about the class war ?? "Alice lives at Chevithorne Barton, an estate in Devon, which houses the Plant Heritage National Oak collection"

I went researching this person and to say I'm not surprised is an understatement. Educated at Bute House Prep School (~£17k per year), School of St Helen and St Katherine (~£16k p.y.) and Marlborough College (~£39k p.y.), and is currently residing at the Chevithorne Barton estate in Devon.

Come mothers and fathers throughout the land And don’t criticise what you can’t understand Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command Your old road is rapidly agin’ Please get out of the new one if you can’t lend your hand For the times, they are a-changin’

If Rosebank is given the go-ahead it will be catastrophic for our climate. MSPs must reject Rosebank!

Rent freeze? Free bus travel? Cutting the cost of living and taxing the super rich? If some of this sounds familiar, that's no surprise. If you want more of it in Scotland, join the party that's been making it happen. greens.scot/join

The election of Mamdani, the victory of Catherine Connolly in Ireland, and the huge growth of the Green movement with Zack Polanski in England and Wales and record polling for it here in Scotland, there is a clear desire for change. www.thenational.scot/politics/256...

Governments have failed to tackle the climate emergency because they are scared to stand up to the rich and powerful.

Make hope normal again! 💚 Scotland can be a fairer, greener place if we fix the systems rigged by the super-rich.

Public ownership works 🙌 Scotland needs cheap, reliable bus services that connect our communities. 👉We will bring Scotland's buses back into public ownership.

“You're not alone in wanting a better world, one in which cars are relegated to their proper use. Cars are tools that can be useful at certain times and places. They’re not gods. They’re not the foundation of our society. They should serve us. We should not serve them. There can be life after cars.”

In my first-year #EarlyModern class this week at @bbkhistorical.bsky.social, we did primary source analysis focused on the age-old problems of sex, drugs and rock n roll (comic adultery, disorderly alehouses, and unlicenced musicians). Still buzzing from such an engaged group of students! 🗃️

🚌Put people before profit. Let's put public transport back into the hands of the people of Scotland.

Good Morning New Yorkers! 😀 @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social built a movement from scratch, focusing on improving people's lives, on inequality and empowering communities. Against a smear campaign from most sinister and powerful people in America he came out on top. Our time is now!🩷✊

A father reckons with his child’s transition, and reflects on gender, identity, love, family, and the transformations that parenthood itself can prompt. Read more: https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/ht6RlI

Zohran Mamdani’s opponents tried to smear him for his youth, inexperience, and leftist politics. But New Yorkers didn’t want a hardened political insider to be mayor—they wanted Zohran Mamdani.

On top of casework, here's the highlights from October. @gillianmacmsp.bsky.social @electlauramoodie.bsky.social @scottishgreens.org @southlangreens.bsky.social

Our planet is on fire, and workers are being hit hard by the cost of living, but the super-rich couldn't care less. BP pocketed £1.7 billion in profit, whilst our energy bills are rising and climate chaos intensifies. It's time for climate action, it's time to tax the rich!

“There’s a reason why the whole world is watching this election. . . . For too long freedom has belonged to only those who can afford to buy it”

Glad to say that the Scottish Government has agreed to work with me to end the absurd loophole allowing shooting estates owned by billionaires and tax avoiders to get a 100% tax break as 'small businesses' Thanks to @protectthewild.bsky.social, @revivecoalition.bsky.social and other campaigners 💚

Apparently the Australian PM is getting stick from right wingers for wearing a teeshirt depicting the anti-fascist band,Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures album cover. If you read Ian Curtis' lyrics, you'll not be fooled by the idiots on the far right. aviewfromtheannex.blogspot.com/2010/04/no-j...

Next time someone tells you that train drivers "just push buttons" show them this from the BBC

This applies just as much in Scotland and the U.K. in all parties. 5 years ago we tried really hard, and succeeded, in selecting “a normal person” (as opposed to a careerist) as our candidate. And now she’s the party leader!

Guardian writers campaigned against puberty-blockers because they were prescribed "off label". Now the Guardian is celebrating Ozempic, a drug being used off label for obesity. The difference...? Puberty-blockers have been used for trans kids for 30+ years, Ozempic for obesity only for 4 years.

I knew Gill and Farage and the rest of the UKIP crew in the European Parliament They were crooks and shysters to a man They repeated Putin talking points and appeared on Russia Today UKIP then and Reform now are both a threat to our democracy www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

Great investigation of the Nazis, racists and criminals mobilising the flag-on-lamp-posts movement. This is the kind of journalism that the national media could and should have conducted: manchestermill.co.uk/the-men-who-...

Sorry to learn this. She had to fight tooth and nail to get the museums to pay any attention to Glasgow's Women.

Dr Elspeth King

I'm saddened to learn of the passing of Dr Elspeth King, the legendary curator of the People's Palace, and a fierce advocate for Glasgow and its history. This was fascinating on the release of the film adaptation of Alasdair Gray's "Poor Things". yoursforscotlandcom.wordpress.com/2024/01/10/p...

Your vote counts. Just not as much though as other minority shareholders.

Progressive voters are now backing the party most likely to beat the fascists.

Whilst the super-rich pinball between their golf courses and holiday homes on their private jets, our planet is left paying for the damage.

Exactly where we are right now

English working-class people have everything to gain from a fairer Scottish republic.

Over 1,000 people have joined the Scottish Greens in the past 30 days! We're giving people hope that the future of Scotland can be better, we can be an independent nation that puts people and planet before billionaire greed. 👉 greens.scot/join

Green @scottishgreens.org membership in #Scotland already comfortably exceeds the Tories and Lib Dems @gillianmacmsp.bsky.social and @ross-greer.bsky.social have a clear aim as leaders of Scotland’s eco-socialist party. We intend to replace the failed #LabourParty greens.scot/news/green-s...

Out today in Ardrossan Herald. At the recent Scottish Green Party Conference, I proposed a successful motion, addressing the ongoing holding to ransom of our public infrastructure at Ardrossan Harbour. Here's the full article: www.ardrossanherald.com/news/2557720...
