Transport is a huge daily cost for people and Scotland's biggest source of emissions. It doesn't have to be this way. One card, one tap, one journey - across all of Scotland’s buses, trains, trams, subway and ferries. That's how public transport should work in Scotland.

New fossil fuel licences aren't going to cut your bills, or keep the country's energy system secure. They're just going to let big polluters extract more profit, while deepening the climate emergency. www.lbc.co.uk/article/ed-m...

Gillian Mackay says Independent Green Voice, a fringe party using ‘eco’ branding, is undermining public confidence in the ballot

It was lovely to visit Little Shop of Heroes in Dunfermline today with @ross-greer.bsky.social 📚 The @scottishgreens.org believe in fairness. That’s why we will always stand up for small local businesses, which keep wealth in our communities and provide vital local jobs!

@gillianmackaygreen.bsky.social said: Scotland has some of the best small businesses anywhere in the world but when huge global online retailers are making enormous profits it is our high streets that are being hollowed-out while local businesses are pushed to the brink greens.scot/news/scottis...

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

Scottish Greens supporters have been warned to look out for a far-right group running in May's elections with a similar name over fears that it will 'take votes away' from the party. Here's what you need to know 👇

🚨 The Greens overtake Labour on average polling While Reform continue to collapse 📉 (Source: Wikimedia Commons)

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! 💚

If you intend to vote Scottish Green this May, please be aware of potential voter confusion on the peach coloured regional list ballot paper. Take care to mark your X next to the actual Scottish Greens and not another party which has 'GREEN' dominating their ballot insignia.

It's time to bring hope back to politics. Let's demand better. Vote Scottish Greens.

This certainly isn't Nicola Sturgeon's SNP any longer 🌍🔥 Only the @scottishgreens.org are serious about tackling the climate crisis and lowering bills by ending our reliance on oil & gas. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Today we launched our campaign for the Scottish Parliament election! On May 7th let's demand free bus travel for everyone, the biggest expansion of funded childcare in a generation, investment in climate and nature, and that the rich pay their fair share. On May 7th let's demand better.

This is a critical moment for Scotland. It’s a critical moment for our planet. Let’s demand better. On 7th May, vote @scottishgreens.org 💚

Scottish Green co-leader Ross Greer has issued a warning about 'hateful extremists' in a far-right group who are running in the Holyrood election 'to take votes away' from them

For sure @gillianmackaygreen.bsky.social. @southlangreens.bsky.social and I are hearing many people planning to vote Green for the first time. We are working hard for every single one of those votes for a fairer, greener, better Scotland.

He says Iran is not our war. But even as the US threatens to commit war crimes on a mass scale, Trump's military is using UK infrastructure to carry out its bombing campaign. The UK should follow the lead of others and refuse all cooperation with Trump's dangerous regime.

The Scottish Greens have pledged free bus travel for everyone in Scotland as they launched their election campaign in Edinburgh

Today Glasgow's Green councillors will bring a motion to get a solution for Trongate 103 and the arts organisations affected by the rent hike crisis there. I hope all political parties join us and work together for a solution that saves something really special for Glasgow.

Billionaires caused the cost of living crisis with Brexit, wars & unjustifiable energy prices. They can pay for it with @scottishgreens.org commitments to fair taxes for the mega-rich. #LetsDemandBetter 📸 @gillianmackaygreen.bsky.social & @ross-greer.bsky.social kicking off our campaign today!

In every community across Scotland, there are people who are planning to vote Green for the very first time. That is why we stand on the verge of what could be a historic result and a major breakthrough for our movement www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

Reform UK's new campaign billboard has been slammed as 'racist scaremongering' by the Scottish Greens

Malcolm Offord, Reform UK's leader in Scotland, has been accused of 'racist scaremongering' by Scottish Greens MSP Patrick Harvie www.heraldscotland.com/news/2598973... @rebeccamccurdy.bsky.social 𝘐𝘔𝘈𝘎𝘌: 𝘊𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘨 𝘔𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘢𝘯/𝘗𝘈 𝘞𝘪𝘳𝘦/𝘗𝘈 𝘐𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘴

Support your local coffee shop ☕️ Have you tried Scran + Roadie in Glasgow? The food is great and the people are too. We need to do more to support local businesses and make sure that the big corporations are paying their fair share!

Glasgow nominations for the Holyrood election are out. The far-right Independent Green Voice is back. In 2021, this fake party, led by a Holocaust denier thrown out of UKIP, probably cost the Scottish Greens two MSPs.

Happy Passover! Chag Pesach Sameach! 💚

NEW: Reform UK's new campaign billboard has been slammed as 'racist scaremongering' by the Scottish Greens 🔗 www.thenational.scot/news/2...

The Scottish Greens have staged a stunt outside Holyroodhouse Palace as they pledged to end royal tax breaks in Scotland and 'make the super-rich pay their fair share'

A Scottish Reform UK candidate has said the planet 'doesn't have a climate crisis' and the 'whole thing has been blown out of proportion'

With costs soaring and people being priced out of everyday essentials, it is ridiculous that so much public money is given to one super-rich and scandal-ridden family based on who their ancestors were. The @scottishgreens.org will end the King’s tax breaks 👑

Evidence of the harm these plans would do is overwhelming. That's why they were opposed by every expert organisation involved in the application. The people of Scotland have rejected them time and again. We can't be worn down. We'll always fight to protect Loch Lomond.

Reform are choosing to divide communities rather than bring people together. This rhetoric that blames migrants distracts from the real causes of inequality. Scotland deserves better than that!

Last night, Offord was booed at a hustings for his anti-immigrant rhetoric. The audience applauded when I made a defence of Glasgow as the city of Kenmure Street. Today's he's back to the racist scaremongering. Greens will always stand up for the values that make Glasgow a place to be proud of.

It was great to see @scottishgreens.org visit @slcek.bsky.social in East Kilbride yesterday. A place which has worked hard over many years to demonstrate energy efficiency and renewables in buildings and learning. For more investment in energy efficiency and renewables, #VoteGreen on 7th May.

One ticket to get you from A to B, no matter how many buses, trains, ferries or trams it takes - and with the price capped to save you from spending a fortune. Vote @scottishgreens.org on May 7th to deliver our ScotCard tap-on, tap-off plans.

I’ve been reflecting on all of the wins, both personal and political, of the last 5 years. I’m extremely proud of what I’ve achieved but I know there’s so much more to do for communities across Scotland. On May 7th, vote @scottishgreens.org 💚

We all deserve to live as our authentic selves. We all deserve access to public spaces and services. Trans rights are human rights. 🏳️‍⚧️

Across Europe integrated ticketing is already the norm. One card, one tap, one journey. It is simple, affordable and accessible. If we want a Scotland that is connected, affordable and climate conscious, then it is time to introduce integrated ticketing here too.

Time and again over the last decade we have defeated this greedy company and their daft mega-resort plans. They just can't take no for an answer though. The Scottish Government must vigorously defend their decision in court. It's time to finally end this saga. #SaveLochLomond

I visited South Lanarkshire College with @ross-greer.bsky.social to meet students and staff who train in Green skills. Scotland has a huge renewables potential but we are not meeting it. Green energy is the cheapest available but the other parties are constantly arguing for more fossil fuels.

Gillian Mackay #greenyes

ICYMI. Interesting idea... "The Scottish Greens manifesto will commit to scrapping first class on ScotRail services and converting the space into standard class seating" on publicly-owned ScotRail greens.scot/news/scottis...

Last year we tried to ban electric shock collars, but were defeated by the SNP, Tories and Lib Dems. These are cruel devices that cause dogs pain and fear. They're already banned in countries across Europe and the world. Scottish Greens elected this year will work towards a ban.

The Scottish Greens have pledged to introduce a single ticketing system for buses, trains and ferries

This month's highlights. Lots of individual casework too!

Integrated ticketing! It makes travelling around so much easier as well as cheaper. No more watching a bus go by because you've got tickets for the other bus! Plus I'll get my own Scotcard 😊

The Scottish Greens want to introduce a ‘tap on tap off’ integrated ticketing system for trains, buses and ferries Daily fares would also be capped Co-leader Gillian Mackay says it’d be paid for by ditching road building projects including the dualling of the A9 and A96

@gillianmackaygreen.bsky.social Scotland has a huge #renewables potential but we are not yet meeting it. #GreenEnergy is the cleanest and cheapest energy available, but the other parties are caught in a loop of arguing for more fossil fuels #VoteGreen greens.scot/news/clean-e...
