I am seriously excited for this. I have just finished the core book on Doughnut Economics and it so resonates with my values.

EXCLUSIVE: The majority of Scots believe that Scotland should remove the monarchy and become a republic, new polling has found

A great woman talking a lot of sense. The UK should be ashamed for appeasing Donald Trump. 🥲

Perhaps the Gaza convoy could be give a Royal Navy frigate to ensure its protection. www.thenational.scot/news/2549027...

A new poll has the Scottish Greens on a record breaking 18 MSPs! This would make us the second largest party in Scotland, ahead of Labour, the Tories and Reform. This poll shows what's possible. We can build a fairer, greener Scotland: www.greens.scot/join

Why would anyone listen to science and reason when you can listen to the orange dictator? Discuss…. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

It’s the only thing that makes sense. 

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is the largest accumulation of marine debris in the world – a soup of plastic and microplastics covering a shocking area of around 1.6 million square km. Avoid adding to the pile-up by reducing single-use plastics. More: littlegreenspace.org.uk/features/ref...

No charity should have royal patron. It's archaic, anachronistic and irrelevant.

Since 2021, 200,000 people from Hong Kong now have moved to the UK. They speak a dialect most Chinese don't understand. Because they have British Empire Passports, you don't hear about this. It doesn't fit the Reform UK narrative.

A true Bluesky — filled with raptors! After days of rain, we were greeted by a bright, blue, cloudless sky this morning! The result? Thousands of birds and a high species diversity. With the main message: the eagles are coming! Stay tuned for more! For daily totals: www.batumiraptorcount.org/data

The royals should pay their fair share of tax. The royals should not be able to amend legislation to suit their needs. The wills of the royals are not made public. Why is this? What have they got to hide? …and there are one or two other things that need to change. 😂

🇬🇧 So it’s the immigrants that are the problem 🇬🇧 🤔 #NotMyKing 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺

Another estate trying to curb access through in this case spurious reference to SSSI status. @ramblersscotland.bsky.social

Ever heard of nurdles? These tiny plastic pellets are causing big problems Nurdles are the raw material used to make plastic products. Millions are lost during transport, ending up on our beaches and in the sea They’re hard to spot, harder to clean up and a growing threat to our ocean

This is a slippery slope. If one estate manages to block access others will follow. Needs swift action. We need to protect our rights and responsibilities under the Land Reform Act. @perthandkinross.bsky.social

Perhaps the North Chesthill Estate should cease to have any Scottish Government grants until the offending signs are removed. It might speed things up. @ramblersscotland.bsky.social

Trump golf course breached sewage contamination limits 14 times since 2019. Shame on you Donald John. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This madness needs to end. All non native bird releases should have the same regulation.

Could beavers return to the Loch Ness area? Major community consultation launched to discuss the reintroduction of these biodiversity-boosting animals. littlegreenspace.org.uk/news/loch-ne...

If that is the case then single people should have a tax allowance of £30,500 i.e. pay no tax on income less than £30,500 with similar tax allowances for couples and those with children to enable them to live well.

Shame on the UK Government for giving him the honour of a state visit.

Met with Agriculture Minister @jimfairlielogie this morning to discuss the management scheme for sea eagles. We need a proper evidence base on their diet rather than scare stories of ‘horse eating eagles’ @skyeandfrisa 🦅🐴 news.stv.tv/highlands-is...

A reminder that bird flu/avian influenza hasn't gone away, is now endemic, and raptors are a very vulnerable group. These Peregrine deaths in Dorset come after new paper in #BirdStudy showed bird flu effects on Scottish Peregrines: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... #ornithology #ukbirding

Ed Miliband slammed Musk for trying to meddle in British politics, saying, “Just because you’re a billionaire doesn’t mean you get to tell us how to run our country.” Miliband told him to stick to cars and, in his words, “butt out of our politics.” www.lbc.co.uk/article/elon...

In the 1840s the Galson estate on Lewis was cleared for sheep. Most people were put onto emigration ships to Canada. Finally in 2007 - a community buyout.

Exactly the type of partnership that WILL work to protect these birds from persecution 👏👏

On 7 Sep 1934 anti-fascists hung a banner atop the bbc, advertising a counter-rally against Oswald Mosley and his British Union of Fascists. The BBC had Mosley on to promote his Nazi views and rally. The bbc of 2025 is doing much the same to promote fascist Farage

This is dreadful. Skuas because of their feeding habits seem particularly prone to HPAI. ☹️

“filling it with pheasants.” Releases of non-natives such as pheasants should be licensed. 🤪

Another reason Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 should leave the UK and rejoin the EU.

Well done to Lincolnshire Police and the multi agency backup team. Pro-active policing of raptor persecution hot spots is the way forward. 😀

It’s 100 years since efforts to control bovine TB began & 50 since badgers got the blame. Review after review after review & still the #WarOnWildlife continues. We need a new approach - one which manages risk rather than one which seeks to eliminate the hazard. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Mick Lynch wants a progressive wealth tax with the richest paying the same as everyone else on PAYE, 47%. That would bring in hundred of billions, it is time for the richest to pay what everyone else has been paying their whole lives.

Great news! Peat is a precious resource. 😀

💺 98% of first-class seats going unsold is unacceptable when we have busy trains with standing room only. 🎟️ It's time to scrap first-class on ScotRail
