Over 200 of us have come together as Women Against the Far Right in Scotland and written an open letter rejecting the far right’s racist lies about “protecting” women and girls. news.stv.tv/politics/nic... Join us and sign the letter here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/wo...

I firmly oppose the government’s plans for compulsory digital ID cards. This is an affront to our civil liberties, and will make the lives of minorities even more difficult and dangerous. It is excessive state interference — and must be resisted.

The anti-immigration bigotry is racist, xenophobic bullshit in and of itself, but none of us should be surprised that the Labour government are using it to increase their authoritarian grip on everyone.

Extremely disappointed in my union over this. A union that doesn't know the meaning of solidarity is no union at all. Scab behaviour.

Vital column from @elliebgomersall.bsky.social in @scotnational.bsky.social today. www.thenational.scot/politics/254...

After endorsing the @radicalglagreens.bsky.social candidates earlier this year, I was delighted to see @elliebgomersall.bsky.social be selected as a lead candidate. Following last night's hustings, I voted Ellie #1, for a committed, principled, and dedicated MSP for Glasgow Southside 💚

Reform definitely don't harbour racists aye 👀 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

📈Rent keeps increasing. 📈Food prices are inflating. 📈Energy bills are through the roof. But the rich. They keep getting richer. ⤵️

✅ @elliebgomersall.bsky.social is one of our @scottishgreens.org lead candidates in Glasgow for next years Holyrood election. She has served as co-chair of our National Executive Committee and was previously elected as president of @nusscotland.bsky.social. I'm delighted to have her support! 💚

I'm voting @gillianmacmsp.bsky.social #1 to be the next co-leader of the Scottish Greens - here's why I hope you will too 👇

💚In Glasgow your Green candidates are @patrickharvie.bsky.social, @elliebgomersall.bsky.social, and @hollybruce.bsky.social! ➡️At last year's Westminster election, Greens saw record results in Glasgow, help us build on this success: members.greens.scot/donate/2026-...

🚨 A new poll shows the number of Scottish Green MSPs doubling at next year's Scottish Parliament election! That would put us above both the Tories and the Lib Dems. We're at a crossroads. It’s more important now than ever to have a strong voice fighting for people and planet, not the super-rich.

100% this. How the interaction of the 2004 GRA and the 2010 Equality Act should work was completely clear and explicit in 2010. Not to say this is a straight-up lie driven by bigotry.

Some feminist energy on this sunny Sunday 💚

"Any politician – Starmer or anyone else – who denigrates or minimises the role that protest has to play in our politics, either doesn’t understand where power lies in a democracy, or they do and they are scared of it." ✍️ me for today's @scotnational.bsky.social

Anthony Carroll "This is the team Glasgow needs to fight for people & planet before profit. I'm proud to support Ellie, Iris, & Seonad as our next Green MSPs for the Dear Green Place."

Niall McGeechan "Ellie, Iris, and Seonad are the future that the Scottish Greens and Glasgow need. Socialists who will work tirelessly for a fairer system for working people and our planet, they will bring the energy we need going into 2026."

We need to see radical change in Glasgow For your next Glasgow Green MSP candidate vote 1. Ellie Gomersall 2. Iris Duane 3. Seonad Hoy linktr.ee/RadicalGlasg...

🟢 Ellie Gomersall: Greens must prioritise rights and representation of women and girls 🟢 At last year’s general election, young women were twice as likely to vote Green across the UK than young men were to vote for Reform. @elliebgomersall.bsky.social outlines why we must speak to them.

🚨Tonight at 7pm🚨 What Next For The Greens? Our talks series kicks off - and tonight it's all about Comms & Campaigns. Hosted by NoJusticeMTG, joined by Ellie Gomersall, Matt Zarb-Cousin, Abi Wilkinson and Neel Sengupta. Online, and open to all! greensorganise.uk/events

Over the last few days, we've been hearing from readers asking us to "stop giving Nigel Farage publicity" by covering news on his interventions in Hamilton, or reporting on Reform in general. We won't be doing that. No-platforming Farage will only help Reform. Here's why 👇

I'd (of course) disagree that the SNP will be the left voice vs. Reform. They've moved to the centre & aren't tackling crises that people desperately want sorted like housing, care, & public services. Greens must shout from the rooftops about these & move to broaden the issues folk trust us for.

Green politics should be about materially opposing fascism, not just saying "I told you so" when Farage becomes PM. It's incumbent on Greens to take the fight directly to Reform - we know that it's both Green ideas and Green votes at the ballot box next year that can defeat the far-right.

Whether you’re Scotland, England or Wales, it’s a really exciting time to be a Green! Come along to our first What’s Next For The Greens? talk to hear @elliebgomersall.bsky.social @mzc.bsky.social @abiwilks.bsky.social @nojusticemtg.bsky.social chat Green Comms strategies and media cut through

When the Cass Review came out last year, the NYT rushed to cover it complete with post notifications. After reviews in Germany and Utah came out supporting gender affirming care for trans youth, dead silence. You can be just as biased in what you don't cover as what you do.

So just to be clear a teacher enacted a months long abuse campaign that involved illegally violating the privacy of a child but they "can't be named", but a random trans woman uses the toilet at work, gets abused and then are named and attacked in the press www.lbc.co.uk/news/uk/chri...

If only Anas Sarwar was a policy thief as well as a patter thief, then Labour would be in a better place. If you want a radical alternative to Reform, it ain't Labour, it's Green - have a read of my piece a wee while back in Green Left Scotland 👇 greenleftscotland.substack.com/p/enough-is-...

As a wee guy from Springburn, it's great seeing @gillianmacmsp.bsky.social make the point that Greens have the ideas, but need to build trust & communication with folk being left behind, to help fight Reform & build better communities 💚

Fab reception for the @scottishgreens.org on the doorsteps of Stonehouse this avo ahead of the by-election. Here’s #Team2 AKA @elliebgomersall.bsky.social @danhutchison.bsky.social & @niallchristie1.bsky.social / @southlangreens.bsky.social kindly supported by @glasgowgreens.bsky.social

Wes Streeting is continuing his crusade to forcibly detransition young trans people - or force them deeper into the dark web. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Last year my wife had breast cancer and a double mastectomy. This morning, for the first time ever, she was challenged in the changing rooms at the swimming pool. Her breasts were not what make her a woman - but, breasts or not, she is entitled to dignity and protection from vigilantes.

Happy to see @elliebgomersall.bsky.social run for Holyrood! 💚 People Make Glasgow, & Ellie would make a fantastic MSP for our city and our communities, & a leading voice in the fight against Reform ✊️

I've had the privilege of working closely with Ellie ever since I got active in politics. She's the kind of person Glasgow & the Greens need as an MSP. Tireless, compassionate, intelligent and deeply committed to the transformative socialist politics our parliament needs. Excited to vote Ellie #1

“We need really radical left-wing socialist politicians who can speak up for the people of Glasgow.” 👏👏👏 Delighted to see this from @elliebgomersall.bsky.social - would love to see her top the party's Glasgow list, along with other fresh voices from across the city. Exactly what we need.

I wonder of part of the establishment not counting on the intense pushback to their transphobia is that they have bought into the propaganda that we are just confused people “identifying” as women and expected us to give up in the face of a hostile environment

if the Senedd confirms the same the Scottish Parliament will be the only legislature to embrace trans segregation

🟢 "Skud all": Green councillors leads fightback against Starmer's anti-migrant attack 🟢 After a horrific week for migrants - stirred up by the Labour Government - Green Left Scotland is reproducing in full @scottishgreens.org Cllr @anthonycarroll.bsky.social's speech from council on Thursday.

🟢 Why more women must stand for the Scottish Greens at Holyrood 🟢 Massive thanks to @sgpwomen.bsky.social co-convener @joannegord.bsky.social for pulling this together ahead of MSP candidate selections opening this week. Encouraging words, and a reminder for others standing in there too...

Kind of amazing how nakedly dishonest are Wes Streeting's lot when it comes to suppressing data on young people taking their own lives in consequence of the withdrawal of gender affirming care. 🤯🧵

We're an "island of strangers" because Labour & Tory Govs turn neighbour upon neighbour to not trust each other. Dividing us on race, gender, immigration status, disability, class... *That* is the driving force of loss of community - instead, end austerity so public services can heal our society

This reads like more evidence that the interim EHRC guidance was drawn up by Kishwer Falkner and cronies, without input from neutral expert staffers. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Genuinely have no idea what Anas Sarwar stands for when his positions only become known days later after getting instructions from Keir Starmer's office.

The problem is not arriving by dinghy. It's arriving by private jet. 👇🏽

I’ll tell you what I see when I look at the #RainbowMap 2025, which was published this morning, an absolute failure of government. The UK once stood proudly at the top of Europe on LGBTI legal equality. Now we’ve slipped into the yellow. Well done to all the countries continuing to make progress.

"When you heard that phrase, 'an island of strangers', how did you feel?" Zarah Sultana: "I was shocked. A Labour prime minister literally taking a quote from the Rivers of Blood speech which Enoch Powell delivered in my hometown of Birmingham. I couldn't actually believe it"

🟢 Holyrood 2026: Populism must go hand in hand with human rights 🟢 Today for Green Left Scotland, @stephpaton.bsky.social writes in response to the concept of Robin Hood politics, saying human rights must be at the core of any left populist offering from the Scottish Greens.

“Only ten years ago we were the best in the world in the annual LGBTI Rights Ranking. We’re now 22nd... This is not just an embarrassment abroad – it’s also a tragedy at home for tens of thousands of people struggling to live lives of quiet dignity.” goodlaw.social/5mgp

Just ten years ago the UK was top of the list - the best place in Europe for LGBT rights. We are now 22nd The only country to drop faster in one year than us is Hungary The government needs to act in a major way before this becomes their entire legacy
