I'm very lucky that in my day job I get to go around the South Sub line in Edinburgh. It could easily be reopened to heavy passenger rail, or tram-trains #ReopenTheSouthSub

9️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣+ Welcome to all our new members! 👋

We need to prioritise rail over road in the budget and get communities across Scotland re-connected www.thenational.scot/news/2558736... www.greens.scot/BreakingTheCircle

Rosebank can't go forward. The development would be outrageous climate vandalism. It would do nothing to lower the amount that households are forking out to heat their homes. @stopcambo.bsky.social

Batons & pepper spray used on protesters AFTER demonstrations. Over £20 million spent to protect arms companies over those who call out genocide. SCALP's report says what protestors already know: Palestinian solidarity is systematically oppressed.

CAF, the builder of Edinburgh Trams and the Caledonian Sleeper, has been blacklisted by the UN for it's involvement in the construction and expansion of Israeli settlements in Palestinian territories rollingstockworld.com/economy/caf-...

Dutch intelligence suspends sharing arrangements with the US after concluding that high level intel was routinely being shared by the White House with their friends in the Kremlin. www.volkskrant.nl/binnenland/n...

Israeli forces have inflicted a genocide on the people of Gaza. Years of bombings, executions and starvation. No Scot should be able to travel across the world to participate in war crimes and then return home without consequence. Scots law is clear on our responsibility to act.

Day 2 of #sgpconf and we're in the weeds of Constitutional Motions. Most of them brought by Ross Greer

The system isn't broken, it's rigged. It's time for real change.

The planet is grappling with a “new reality” as it reaches the first in a series of catastrophic and potentially irreversible climate tipping points: the widespread death of coral reefs, according to a landmark report produced by 160 scientists across the world. https://cnn.it/42EJdJ4

"We absolutely need to stop the boats,” Polanski said, “but let’s stop the boats by offering safe and legal routes to asylum and not having people clinging on to dinghies for dear life.* www.newstatesman.com/politics/gre...

The same prick who gives me a headache every day now wants to outlaw Tylenol.

Hey Morrisons, it's still August!

Norway's Sovereign Wealth Fund is divesting from Israeli assets. They've dumped 11 of 61 investments in the last week www.cnn.com/2025/08/12/b...

Letter of the day (in the Times)

Over-grazing means Scotland’s soil is rapidly eroding, damaging farming, destroying biodiversity, and contributing to the climate crisis. We need - urgently - to bring back wolves. By me: www.bylinesupplement.com/p/its-time-t...

Words to send a chill down any spine: "Our Evri courier has received your parcel!"

After six years of FOI requests and appeals, we obtained documents previously withheld on national security grounds — revealing radioactive leaks from the UK’s nuclear bomb store theferret.scot/radio...

The worst people in Scotland are raging at the momentum we are building for this campaign. To end the genocide the world's nations must boycott, divest from and sanction Israel. Scotland can lead, we do not need to wait for Westminster 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💚🇵🇸

Air quality in Glasgow City centre has improved significantly since the Low Emission Zone was enforced, according to the latest monitoring report.

My first thought was 'It's nice to see that it takes trains'. My second thought was 'Isn't that an earthquake zone?'

Farage says he'll pay for a crime blitz by cutting HS2 (and 'scrapping Net Zero'). But by the next GE, the new railway will be mostly structurally complete... The civil engineering part of the project is *currently* around 60% complete between London & Birmingham: substack.com/inbox/post/1...

Israeli intelligence records every phone call and text message in the West Bank and Gaza, holds them on servers in Ireland and the Netherlands, and it's facilitated entirely by Microsoft www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Yesterday the Scottish Government claimed they were "on track" on climate. Today they're being told by their own advisors what we all already knew: Scotland is years behind schedule, and they've been slowing down. Only ambitious new action will get results. greens.scot/news/uk-ccc-...

I’m so excited to share that I’m to be the Green candidate for the Fountainbridge-Craiglockhart by-election on 26 June. I want to bring care back into politics, to commit strongly to solidarity, safer roads, tenants rights, and green spaces in our ward. I look forward to the next 6 weeks!

Climate breakdown brings increasingly extreme weather at huge cost to individuals, businesses and government. Failure to act could leave Scotland £140 billion poorer by 2035. The more government delays and makes excuses on climate action, the more expensive it will get.

🚨 BREAKING: From September 1st peak rail fares will be scrapped for good in Scotland! 🟢2023: Greens scrap peak rail fares. 🟡2024: SNP bring them back 🟡2024: thousands join Green and trade union calls for the SNP to reverse their decision 🟢2025: SNP reverse their decision

Greyhound racing is a cruel sport that is dangerous for dogs. Latest data from across the UK shows: 🚨109 dogs died trackside in 2023 🚨4,238 injuries were caused to greyhounds Today, Scottish Greens introduced a bill to end greyhound racing in Scotland for good.

Solidarity with my trans friends on what will be a horrible day of listening to the crowing of bigots 🏳️‍⚧️

Kemi Badenoch manages to prise Jeremy Corbyn into an answer about Starmer and Ukraine. jfc. #BBCLauraK

Laura Kuenssberg doesn't seem to know how to interview Keir Starmer when she's not lobbing 'gotcha' questions. She keeps straying towards that territory, despite the topic of conversation #BBCLauraK

At #FMQs today we called on the Scottish Government to back our Bill to end greyhound racing. There are only 9 countries in the world that still allow commercial greyhound racing. In 2023 alone 109 greyhounds died trackside in the UK and 4,238 were injured.

Today is Edinburgh's Budget day. Green Councillors are putting forward the most progressive budget for people and planet 🧵

Let's recap. The victims of a crime, those who tried to stop that crime and those who investigated it, received pardons today to protect themselves from the criminals because the criminals are now in charge. How quickly things change when people stop paying attention.

The public aren't sleepwalking into climate catastrophe, we're being dragged into it by the greed of elites and the cowardice of their client media

The two private jets owned by Jeff Bezos spent nearly 25 days in the air over a 12-month period, releasing as much carbon as an Amazon employee in the US would in 207 years. 🤯

🚌Cheaper buses for all! 🟢Scottish Greens are calling for a £2 bus ticket cap across Scotland. 🌍Saving you money and protecting our planet.

ScotRail is proposing to close the ticket offices, and thereby reduce staff, at 101 stations. This will reduce the safety and security of passengers and reduce help offered to disabled passengers. Sign the RMT's petition here: www.megaphone.org.uk/petitions/st...
