Happy birthday and thank you Sir David

Spiralling global temperatures (1850-2026) It is exactly 10 years since I first put this animated graphic of changes in global temperature online. #ClimateSpiral It instantly went viral. People watched it over and over again. It still offers the power to shock a decade on.

The Greens win our first ever directly elected Mayor - a huge historic victory! Huge congratulations to Zoë and the entire team. Two party politics isn't dying. It's dead and it's buried. And we're making hope normal again.

“By falsely conflating the death-dealing war crimes of the Israeli government with Jewish identity, it could misdirect rightful fury against the former into wrongful and hateful prejudice against Jewish people generally.” Our letter to Jonathan Hall KC: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Hostile reminder that during WW2 Britain refused Jewish refugees because they considered us "unassimilable" and "culturally dangerous"

The reason I use the moniker "Occupied Palestine" is threefold: 1) It recognizes the illegitimacy of Israeli territorial claims; 2) It frames properly the asymmetrical nature of the so-called conflict, because simply saying "Israel" and "Palestine" inaccurately implies two states at war,

OCCUPIED WEST BANK: Palestinians lament mass bulldozing of vineyards - central to Hebron life - in what they say is an attempt to push farmers off their land

Israel is occupying more of Lebanon than Russia is occupying of Ukraine. Israel is destroying every single building, ethnically cleansing the whole place so they can steal it for themselves. Not only is Europe silent on this, it is still sending weapons to make it happen.

It's disgraceful, defendants aren't allowed to defend themselves in British Courts because Israel says no The Government need to be taken to court for breaking the law and convictions where they illegally blocked defendants from defending themselves need to be thrown out.

Don’t forget to go vote this Thursday 7 May! The results will decide the direction our country takes when it comes to the rights of refugees and people seeking asylum. More info (available in multiple languages): https://scottishrefugeecouncil.org.uk/voting-rights-scottish-elections/

“It’s surprising that the lesson from the purported banning of Palestine Action has not been learned. A more generalised banning of pro-Palestine protests will prove an equally disastrous political own-goal.” Our letter to Prime Minister Keir Starmer: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Politicians and media attacking @zackpolanski.bsky.social over antisemitism lack any decency. So says Rabbi Herschel Gluck - who was given an OBE for advancing interfaith understanding.

Unpopular opinion 🫣 In the coming months, many centrist and liberal politicians will face massive electoral defeats. They’ll blame extremism, fake news, or foreign interference, which do exist. But none will ask themselves whether their blind support for Israel played a role in their losses.

Donald Trump is a convicted fraudster, and the evidence suggests that he's been ripping Scotland off. Yet the Scottish and UK governments have fawned over him because he's rich, powerful and owns a couple of golf courses. That has to end. Nobody should be above the law.

Footage of Israeli soldiers desecrating a Palestinian body has gone viral, drawing widespread condemnation and highlighting ongoing human rights violations.

Organisers challenge Starmer’s threat to ban some pro-Palestine marches “As long as the wars continue, as long as the killing continues, people will want to say to this government, you’re complicit in this, and you should stop.” - @johnwrees.bsky.social 👏👏👏👏👏 www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

If the Met Police weren't so busy handcuffing and arresting pensioners for peacefully carrying placards supporting fellow human beings in Palestine, they might have more resources to put bobbies on the beat to look after fellow human beings in north London - and everywhere else. Just an idea.

Calls by politicians and the media for Palestine marches to be suppressed dangerously conflate Jewish people with the state of Israel and peaceful political protest with unconnected violent acts. We utterly reject both. We will march on 16 May. Palestine Coalition statement 🔽

Fair work shouldn't be optional. It's essential to reduce inequality, close gender pay gaps, build community wealth and create an economy that works for all. That's why we want to devolve employment law to Scotland and repeal the UK's anti-union legislation. Happy May Day! ✊

#FreePalestine We are deeply concerned for the safety of activists #SaifAbuKeshek and #ThiagoAvila who are being taken to #Israel for questioning after being arbitrarily detained by the Israeli military after the unlawful interception of the #GlobalSumudFlotilla vessels in international waters.

Israel kidnapped hundreds of people from the Global Sumud Flotilla this morning. They were in Crete 1,000km from Israel. But despite this being international Piracy and Kidnapping and being a gross violation of International Law. Nobody has even mentioned it.

Just started reading The 100 years war for Palestine, I naively thought Zionism started in 1947 when actually it began in 1895, and yes Britain is one of the main offenders in the situation. We carry the burden of shame.

We're told that Scotland is overrun with asylum seekers. But actually, fewer than 7,000 people are seeking asylum here. That’s only 0.12% of the total population. They wouldn’t even fill Falkirk football stadium. Get the facts here: https://ow.ly/uLW950YQZti

2025 was the deadliest year for journalists since @pressfreedom.bsky.social started collecting the data. At least 129 press members were killed last year, and at least 104 of them were killed amid armed conflicts.

Scotland's railways should connect our communities and be the first choice for long journeys. Our ambitious infrastructure plan would: 🚆 Deliver new stations 🚆 Reopen new routes 🚆 Upgrade existing lines Vote Scottish Greens on May 7th.

Antisemitism was weaponised against Jeremy Corbyn from 2015-2019 by the Politicians and the Media because they couldn't have a Prime Minister who wasn't owned by the Right people. The exact same is happening to Zack Polanski. But of course not to all the other leaders.

Today in Dublin ✊️

ARRESTS outside the Royal Courts of Justice resumed today, despite police opting not to make arrests for the exact same in the same location act yesterday. Inconsistent policing is just one of the many reasons this ban is unjust. Full Press Release: defendourjuries.net/press-releases/

❝ The Palestinian flag appeared on the 120-metre Spire on O’Connell Street Dublin last September 2025, and for seven months it has defied every proposed measure to take it down. Who installed it and how remains a mystery. ❞ 🇵🇸 tinyurl.com/3fjve7cp

Housing's a human right. But the super-rich like Lord Offord are hoarding homes they don't need and pricing people out of the communities they grew up in. By freeing up more properties for people who need a home to live in we can build a housing sector that works for everyone.

If you’re going to take away our civil rights, don’t be surprised when we stop acting so civil

Israeli naval forces raided Gaza-bound aid vessels in international waters hundreds of nautical miles from the besieged enclave. According to the Global Sumud Flotilla aid mission, at least 15 boats were intercepted, with those on board abducted by Israeli forces and unaccounted for.
