Henry's brutal murder and the failures of the police have been appalling. His father's words are vital: "We don't want Henry's murder to be used to create further hatred, division or tension."

It appears the government won't be satisfied until it has hounded trans people out of society altogether. The Government are choosing every moment and mechanism they can to demonstrate they don't care about their lives. We have to draw the line. Reject the framework.

The Scottish Greens were the only party at this election to say that we need to use our full taxation powers to raise more money, particularly from the wealth of the super-rich. We must explore all options for taxing wealth before cutting public sector jobs.

If unionist parties truly believe there is still a strong case for the union, then why not grant the referendum and fight that case on a democratic basis? Because they know they would lose. Scotland deserves democracy.

Keir Starmer's political failure comes down to one issue above all others: his unwillingness to put the public interest ahead of the demands of the oligarchs, corporations and foreign governments who lobby him. Whoever replaces him had better be prepared to stand up for us, or Labour's finished.

Keir Starmer will be remembered for keeping children in poverty, attacking disabled people and arming Israelโs genocide in Gaza. But Wes Streeting is no better. The change Scotland needs is to be an independent country in control of our own future.

The media forensically dissects the pasts of people who challenge the status quo, such as Polanski and Corbyn. Fair enough, up to a point: we should know about our representatives. But it's far less inquisitive about those who defend power, however great their misdeeds, such as Nigel Farage.๐งต

Privatisation has failed. Badly. It's allowed companies to hike fares and cut routes while raking in vast public subsidies. Scottish Greens will bring our buses back under public control so we can put passengers first, not profit.

Scotland will reject this nasty collection of homophobes, misogynists and racists on Thursday, but only if everyone who believes in decency and kindness comes out to vote. You have the power to send Farage's bigots packing.

Extremist is the death and destruction that Benjamin Netanyahu government brings on a daily basis. Extremist is them introducing the death penalty for Palestinians. Extremist is this apartheid, genocidal Israeli Government that our Government shamefully supports.

This has to be said: Seeking to ban public opposition to Arabs being slaughtered is racism. Arab life has the same worth as any other life. Believing that is not antisemitism. That's why thousands of Jews joined these marches.

The head of the International Energy Agency has warned that more drilling in the North Sea won't improve energy security, won't lower bills, and doesn't make economic sense. Investing in renewables is a choice he has "never heard that anybody ever regretted."
