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 Scotlandโs 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.

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.

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!
