Following my re-election as the Scottish Greens MSP for North East Scotland, I was delighted to return to the Scottish Parliament last week. As well as supporting some of our new MSPs, I was pleased to join a Stop Rosebank rally. And I spent time in the region too. The next 5 years have begun!

Session 7 of the Scottish Parliament is underway. I’ve been in Edinburgh today supporting some of our new MSPs. And this evening, I’ll be discussing the elections with others from Democratic Left Scotland - Coll McCail & Simon Barrow - 7.30pm, online:

As I prepare for my first week back for the new Scottish Parliament session, I am very alert to some of the challenges that some of our new MSPs will face. But we must all recognise the danger of normalising the politics of hate. I wrote this on Friday - fascism doesn’t arrive wearing jackboots!

Thank you thank you thank you to everyone who has supported our campaign, voted green, and is pushing for hope, justice and peace around the world. Free Palestine 🇵🇸 💚 ✊️ @edinburghgreens.bsky.social
