Starmer can claim all he wants that Mandelson lied to him. That doesn't change the fact that key evidence of his close friendship with Epstein was already out in public. He knew all of this before giving him huge influence over the Labour party and one of the most important jobs in government.

This is Nigel Farage with Nick Candy, the treasurer of Reform UK 👇 Candy appears numerous times in the Epstein files over more than a decade, The National has uncovered. The Scottish Greens are putting pressure on Reform to explain the links.

We knew Mandelson stayed extremely close with Epstein long after it became clear what a monster he was. These new files now show he was helping others in Epstein's network to influence/block UK Govt policy while he was deputy PM. Why hasn't Starmer withdrawn the whip & suspended him from Labour?

This is it, the last book. It took 20 years and 64 novels (plus the novellas), but the Horus Heresy ends here. Not sure I'm ready for it to all be over!

The Scottish Greens are now only 3k away from their target to create a tv broadcast. It is essential that progressive parties get as many list seats as possible to keep UK MAGA (Trump’s pal Farage) out of our parliament. Please share/send them a few £s www.crowdfunder.co.uk/checkout/hel...

Great afternoon speaking to voters in Glasgow with @patrickharvie.bsky.social, @irisduane.bsky.social and team! Lots of appreciation for the @scottishgreens.org getting rent control laws passed through Parliament. Now we're working hard to implement them ASAP. ✊💚

I’ve written this lengthy FT analysis overnight about the multiple multi-thousand pound Epstein payments to Mandelson’s husband these particular paragraphs are worth reading slowly www.ft.com/content/608a...

Chip in to get the @scottishgreens.org on the air with a new Party Political broadcast! In a few weeks time we have the opportunity to air a broadcast across all major TV channels. We need around £10,000 to produce an effective, inspiring ad. Help make it happen 👇

Hundreds of volunteers hitting the streets this morning in Gorton and Denton. Lower bills, tax the super-rich- hope will win. Only the Greens can stop Reform in this by-election.

Another great canvassing session with @edinburghgreens.bsky.social in Gorgie-Dalry. Such enthusiasm for Green message and @scottishgreens.org candidate @lornaslater.bsky.social in Edinburgh Central. #VoteGreen

Gutted to hear that Jim Wallace has passed. His commitment to serving Scotland through both politics & the Kirk was unparalleled. My personal highlight of COP26 was forming a brief double act with Jim to guest lecture at Trinity College Glasgow. He was so deeply thoughtful and kind.

Today the Scottish Parliament will vote on @markruskell.bsky.social's Bill to ban greyhound racing in Scotland. 🐶 This cruel 'sport' results in the deaths of hundreds of dogs a year in the UK and is only legal in a handful of countries. It's time to end it in Scotland for good.

Only one party in Scotland is standing up to Trump's fascism, the @scottishgreens.org Join our movement and help us evict the US military from Scotland 👇 members.greens.scot/join/standar...

Two people have been abducted from Scotland in the middle of the night by the US military. Despite an order from our highest court that they be kept here. The Scottish Government must show that actions have consequences by evicting American troops from their base at publicly-owned Prestwick Airport

The First Minister has just made an urgent statement on this violation of our sovereignty. I have rarely been so disappointed by every other party, the government included. It's like they all think Trump is watching and they are terrified of upsetting him. A total failure to stand up for Scotland.

It’s a joy campaigning for someone who is so well known and liked in her community. Emma would be a true local champion, and voters know it 💚 #votegreen

💯days to go! With more MSPs we can and will do even more to cut the cost of living, deliver climate action and stand against the politics of hate being peddled by parties like Reform. It's time to bring back hope - join the fight today: greens.scot/join

It very much looks like the US Government has just abducted two people from Scotland hours after our Court of Session ordered that they not be removed. The US is a rogue state. It's time to evict their troops from their de-facto base at (publicly owned) Prestwick airport.

Just 100 days to go. It's time to choose hope. #VoteScottishGreens

On Holocaust Memorial Day, we remember all those who were persecuted and murdered during the Holocaust and other genocides. We must always stand against hate and prejudice wherever it arises.

The National Park board held a public hearing before unanimously rejecting Flamingo Land's Loch Lomond mega-resort plans. Then an official overturned that on appeal, without any public hearing or even speaking to the Park's own experts. My proposal would prevent that from ever happening again.

Off to Parliament tomorrow, so that was my last shift knocking doors ahead of Thursday's Bearsden South by-election 🥶 We even had a Labour member say they were voting @scottishgreens.org when they found out who our candidate was! Vote Emma Sheppard #1 for a real community champion 🗳️💚

The @scottishgreens.org and @greenparty.org.uk are and will remain autonomous, independent parties. After plenty of hard work though, we are now ready to fully restore our pre-2022 relationship as sister parties. Across these islands Greens are bringing hope back to our politics 💚

Nothing says by-election more than two parties canvassing the same street while a third is leafleting it! Thankfully we got there first 💚 Voters in Bearsden South go to the polls this Thursday. If you can help @dungreens.bsky.social with our final push, let us know!

Green councillors save Glasgow City Council over £4m. The power of electing people who really care about getting the basics right 💚

🎙️ Politicians shouldn't usually make predictions, but we should also give a straightforward answer to a straightforward question. So here's my prediction for @paulhutcheon.bsky.social: I think the @scottishgreens.org are on track to beat both Labour and the Tories in May 💚🗳️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Football price caps are already common across Europe. It's time for Scottish clubs to put fans first by introducing a £25 cap for away fans. Today @gillianmacmsp.bsky.social asked the First Minister if he'd back the campaign. ✍️ greens.scot/25PoundTickets

The Govt's National Security Assessment is a stark warning, showing that global biodiversity loss & ecosystem collapse threaten the UK’s security & prosperity. I welcome the Leader of the House's commitment to make time available so we can debate this critical issue.

🎉 Green GAIN from Reform! 🎉 💚 Congratulations to Lian Pizzey on being elected in Horsley division on Derbyshire County Council!

Monday night was another cold one but that doesn't stop our local champion - Dr Emma Sheppard meeting local residents to listen to their concerns and encouraging them to get out & #VoteScottishGreens 💚 Bearsden South by-election - 29th Jan 🗳️✅ Thank you to everyone that helped.

Reminder that it wasn't just right-wing columnists bigging up Trump after the 2024 election win. Anas Sarwar too was saying how crucial it was to put Scottish business links ahead of silly political concerns Somehow I doubt he will want this messaging in election flyers now

Zack Polanski has said that Britain should expel US forces from the UK if the country seizes Greenland - a proposal 55% of Britons support Support: 55% Oppose: 22% yougov.co.uk/topics/trave...

'With a chaotic Labour government doing its best to mimic Farage and Reform, and with the real prospect of a far right UK government that Scotland didn’t vote for, independence has never been more vital' www.heraldscotland.com/news... @kathleennutt.bsky.social 𝘐𝘔𝘈𝘎𝘌: 𝘑𝘢𝘯𝘦 𝘉𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘰𝘸/𝘗𝘈 𝘞𝘪𝘳𝘦

I'm good thanks. I think I probably won't move to the country where the authorities pump out neo-Nazi memes and masked militias roam the streets.

New Scottish Independence poll, Survation 8-12 Jan (changes vs 2-5 May): No ~ 45% (-1) Yes ~ 45% (+2) Don't Know ~ 10% (-1) Excluding Don't Knows (/ vs 2014): No ~ 50% (-1 / -5) Yes ~ 50% (+1 / +5) Finally, it appeared

Polls show that we could elect a record number of Scottish Green MSPs this May. 🗳️ But we can't do it without your vote. Make sure that you are registered to vote today: gov.uk/register-to-...

Another chilly afternoon knocking on doors in Bearsden South. We finally got our first (polite!) 'I'm sick of canvassers' response. Lots of appreciation around Westerton for @scottishgreens.org scrapping peak rail fares though 🚂 11 days until polls open for the by-election here ⏳

“The best way to build support for independence is by making full use of the powers Scotland’s Parliament already has to improve people’s lives" - @ross-greer.bsky.social Read more: greens.scot/indy-strategy

🚨 New Norstat poll for the Sunday Times has the @scottishgreens.org up 3%, gaining three seats and maintaining the pro-independence majority in Holyrood 💚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🗳️

The Mansion Tax secured by the @scottishgreens.org this week will apply to at least one of Lord Offord's estates. I look forward to our friends in the press finding out just how many more he'll be on the hook for.

I think this is Judge for "yer gettin hee haw ya fuckin chancers"

Donald Trump continues to threaten the invasion of our allies in Greenland. Scotland must be clear that we stand with our friends, by ensuring the US military cannot use Scottish infrastructure and assets to launch operations against them.

Reassuring the people of Greenland and the international community that we will not be complicit in Trumps threats is the opposite of warmongering. The Daily Express having a normal one as usual.

Reform have just announced that their Scottish leader will be former Tory peer Lord Offord. He has changed the colour of his rosette to get a seat in the Scottish Parliament. Scotland deserves so much better than Tory turncoats who seek to divide our communities.

We owe it to firefighters to keep them safe. But they suffer a significantly increased risk of ill health as a result of their work. Tomorrow we're leading a debate in the Scottish Parliament calling for the investment our fire service needs.

Disgusted to see the US flag, along with the logo for Trump's politicised version of the 250th anniversary celebration, on display at the Scottish Parliament tonight. As the US descends ever further into fascism, MSPs should be standing alongside those the regime threatens, not with its leadership.
