What happens when you offer hope and real change 👇 The @scottishgreens.org came first with 16-34 year olds and private renters 🏆💚 Join our movement today: members.greens.scot/join/standar...

If you say "I support Palestine Action", they might put you in jail. If you incite a racist riot, they put you on the news.

The @scottishgreens.org have returned to Parliament with more than double the number of MSPs we left with. It's clear that voters rewarded our constructive approach over the last five years, so that's exactly what we’ll continue doing! 💚

North East MSP Maggie Chapman is our Shadow Cabinet Secretary for Justice.

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.

Part of my speech from earlier in the week during the Expanding Childcare debate. Good to be back and making the case for Scottish Greens values and solutions.

An independent Scotland could build an economy that works for everyone, instead of continuing to concentrate wealth and power with a handful of elites.

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.

Tony Blair tells Radio 4 that the £257 million his institute has received from a billionaire AI investor has absolutely nothing to with his lobbying for the AI industry

The greens are actively working to improve the lives of normal people. This is the kind of sensible, socially driven policy which will make a real difference. #scottishgreens

Today, University of Aberdeen Court will decide on the future of the institution: staff workload, staff-student ratios, restructuring, etc. Staff unions have grave concerns about the impacts of these changes. Good governance is vital! Here’s the letter I wrote to Court:

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. #scottishgreens

Unionist Bingo! 🇬🇧🖊️ The unionist parties are in severe need of new patter as well as credible arguments. Decisions about Scotland should be made by the people who live here, not imposed by Westminster politicians.

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 Israel’s 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.

A record result of Scottish Greens MSPs 💚 Only possible thanks to the thousands of dedicated activists who delivered our message of hope on the doorsteps. Now it’s time to deliver!

Families are struggling, workers are exploited, and our climate is in crisis. All this pomp and grandeur for an unelected billionaire won't help the people of Scotland. It's time to #AbolishTheMonarchy

Very grateful to all who helped re-elect me as North East Scotland's Scottish Greens MSP! After a 10.5-hour count, the regional result was declared, with us winning the 3rd of 7 seats. We were all knackered, so we didn't have speeches. This is what I would have said: open.substack.com/pu...

🟢 @maggiechapman.bsky.social elected to represent North East region! Maggie becomes the seventh Scottish Green MSP to be elected today.

The Scottish greens message of hope and positivity has inspired thousands like me who felt scunnered with politics to get involved. Hope is more powerful than hate. Protect our communities! Protect our environment! Tax the super-rich! #VoteScottishGreens today!!

🚨 The polls are open! 🗳️ Everyone in Scotland can vote Scottish Greens on the peach ballot paper ✉️ If you have a postal vote you can hand it in 🪪 You DON'T need photo ID This is our chance to vote for hope over hate. To demand better. To vote Scottish Greens.

There is a smear campaign against the Green Party. Call it what it is.

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.🧵

🚨Final Yougov poll of the campaign has the @scottishgreens.org surging from 8 to 16 MSPs! Your Scottish Green vote on that regional (peach coloured) ballot can put us head of Reform and guarantee the pro-independence majority 💚🗳️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

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.

Reform, Labour and the Tories all take money from oil & gas giants and private healthcare interests. That tells you who they’re really working for. The Green Party doesn’t take that money. We answer to you - and to the future of our planet. Vote Green on Thursday. 💚

Leafleting yesterday to get the Scottish Greens message out in Carnoustie. Let's reach as many people as possible in the last few days before Thursday's election! #votescottishgreens #taxthesuperrich

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.

✊ Dundee May Day ✊ Good to march with folk in Dundee today. May Day is about solidarity, about standing together. Because when we stand together, we are powerful. Powerful enough to win fair pay, to defend our communities, to build a future based on justice, equality, and dignity for all.

The Ferret once again showing the value of their work. The Scottish Government should release the information immediately. Voters deserve to see it before making their choice.

Yesterday's attack in Golders Green was an appalling act of antisemitic violence. The Green Party stands in solidarity with the British Jewish community.

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."

Base, racist politics from Reform again. Nigel is worried about the Green vote.

More drilling in the North Sea won't cut bills, protect jobs or provide energy security. #bbcqt

Fab canvassing session in Dundee at lunchtime today, with @gillianmackaygreen.bsky.social & some new members! Scottish Greens believe that people deserve better: 🚌 Better buses connecting communities 🧑‍🧒 Childcare that supports families 🏥 Investment in public services #VoteScottishGreens 💚 🫶

Love David Byrne….hope the kids at Coachella were paying attention and appreciated the genius they were witnessing last night "Love and Kindness are a form of resistance"

The SNP float a potential date for a hypothetical referendum, a month before an election. Like clockwork.

Will the ICC march Starmer to the Hague too, now Netanyahu is a wanted man? The #ICC has finally issued an arrest warrant for #Netanyahu - but what about Israel genocide-denier & complicit party Keir Starmer and other UK ministers? www.thecanary.co/uk/news/2024...

This is what David Lammy tweeted when the ICC issued an arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin for committing war crimes in Ukraine. Now the ICC has issued an arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu for war crimes in Gaza, Lammy is totally silent. What exactly is the Foreign Secretary waiting for?
