Another busy week in Parliament! 🧵 1/7

Today saw an important step towards a pause on the construction of hyperscale data centres in Scotland. At First Minister's Questions the First Minister agreed to consider Scottish Green calls for a pause, following significant concerns around their environmental impact.

Fantastic news! Our national team should be for all of us, not hidden behind a paywall. If we want children to be inspired by our athletes then they need to be able to see them in action.

I’m looking for a researcher to help me with my Community Care portfolio and with regional stuff too. Scottish Greens have a 30 hour week for our full time staff but if you need flexibility let me know 💚 Link in the bio or below to apply. Tell your friends. ce1046li.webitrent.com/ce1046li_web...

Really appreciated the chance to meet campaigners against the rash of data centres outside the parliament today. Join our e-action calling for a moratorium on these huge buildings: greens.scot/datacentres

Reform have now lost six by-elections in a row in England, Scotland and Wales. Their national poll rating is 26% – below Labour in 1983 – and Farage’s approval rating is -37. They’re very far from the voice of the people and need to stop being treated as such.

Another busy week, celebrating Scotland Loves Local week in Moka Jak's in Beith, and Perk in Largs, and getting my hair done by Rebecca at Grace's Boutique Hair Spa in Largs. 🧵1/2 #scotlandloveslocal

Join our call for a pause on massive data centres: greens.scot/datacentres There are lots of plans for huge data centres, using massive amounts of electricity, and while they're supposed to be 'green', they don't have to do an environmental impact assessment. Let's stop and decide what we want.

We want free bus travel on better buses for all. Buses that are reliable, that keep going in the evening, that go to your town or village, buses that don't take forever, and you can use joined up ticketing.

🔴 SCOOP: Farage doesn't seem to want to answer questions about his money. So I went looking - and found that the Reform leader's personal company is in breach of UK company law democracyforsale.substack.com/p/revealed-n...

📰Tomorrow's front page Thousands attend anti-racism demonstration that drowns out far-right hate

A wee group of angry balaclava and mask-wearing anti-immigration guys tried to stop the good people of Glasgow showing solidarity with migrants and standing up to racism and fascism. Well, the far right are far outnumbered... #RefugeesWelcome #MigrantsWelcome #NeighboursNotStrangers #Glasgow

It’s been another busy week and there’s been lots to do, but these are my highlights 💚 💪 joining Unison Scotland folks outside Parliament to sign their fair visa campaign pledge 🧵 1/3

People have been attacked in the street because of the colour of their skin, while mobs have shouted at non-white children to ‘send them home’. There are no ‘legitimate concerns’ which can justify this kind of hateful action and never can be.

Reform UK have promoted hate and racism, not just online, but on our streets and in our parliament. Scotland must stand together against their hate.

Delighted to be the nature champion for the Manx Shearwater 💚

The Scottish Parliament passed a Green motion to boycott, divest from and sanction Israel. We later found out that no work had started on this proposal. Today I asked the Government when we might see this coming forward. Scotland must not be complicit in genocide.

Great to meet up with Scottish Environment Link, last week to stand up for nature. 💚

Huge thanks to everyone who joined our Stand Up for Nature demo today! Incredible turnout! Special thanks to the MSPs who showed up, our guest speakers for their inspiring words, and our talented musicians for keeping the energy high. ✊ 📸 Colin Hattersley #standupfornature #scottishparliament

Don't tolerate the media legitimising thugs who attack people for the colour of their skin. They aren't 'anti-immigration campaigners' like the BBC said this morning, they are violent scumbags. www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/norther...

I'm proud to have been chosen as the Community Care spokesperson for the Scottish Greens.

Another busy week! Lovely to meet the SAGA youth group, especially Geo and Ruaridh who raised the Pride flag. Community care is a big area which I'm glad to be tasked with doing something for.

It's hardly the fanciest presentation but nonetheless one of the little bits I quite like in these results pages are the list seat allocation process sections. This hopefully makes crystal clear why each party won the list seats that it did, and in what order!

The first two weeks as one of your new MSPs for West Scotland has been a whirlwind, with lots to learn, a full calendar and a full inbox! Thank you so much for all your congratulations. I'm going to do my best to represent you and stand up for Scottish Green values.

Some great advice from Dogs Trust as we move towards the warmer weather.

Conversion practices are cruel, abusive, and have no place in Scotland. They should have been banned years ago, and saved thousands from the long-lasting harm they cause. It's time for the government to finally deliver a full ban.

Do you care about your community and want to find out more about becoming a councillor in 2027? 1. Twice on 4th June: With @Elect Her including an interview (lunch time session) with myself www.elect-her.org.uk/events-works...

This was a ground campaign unlike anything our party has done before. It was disciplined, energetic and most importantly, rooted in our communities. It motivated people in a way we have never seen before, because people knew we were fighting for something real, writes Lorna Slater ✍️

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.

Every party that believes in fair elections should back our call for an urgent investigation into Independent Green Voice and the Electoral Commission’s handling of this disgrace. greens.scot/news/far-rig...

What a first day! Great onboarding process, so excited to work with my new colleagues, still occasionally bursting into tears with the hugeness of it all. Thank you West Scotland for electing me 💚

Joanna Cherry is either ignorant or dishonest about what lesbians actually think about trans people.

The fact this has been allowed to happen again and again undermines our democracy and the integrity of our election results. The Electoral Commission is there to ensure that people get the results they vote for, and they have failed to do so!

Scotland needs more powers to tackle the big issues. #bbcdn

I'm sorry for not posting sooner, I have been lost for words! This has been the longest, hardest job interview I have ever done. I forgot I might actually get the job! Thanks to Sarah for taking the photos when I got in and had all the emotions at once! 🧵 1/6

🟢 @ariane-burgess.bsky.social elected to represent Highlands and Islands region! Ariane is one of two Scottish Green MSPs elected in Highlands and Islands today, taking our final total across Scotland to a record breaking 15!

Thank you so much to everyone who chapped doors, delivered leaflets, shared socials, and convinced someone else to vote for Scottish Greens. I wouldn't have got elected without you!

I'm so happy that Kayleigh got in in Edinburgh as well as Lorna, Kate, and Q!

An amazing result for Edinburgh and Lothians East! Not only Edinburgh's first constituency win but also the first time we've had 4 MSPs in the region. This is a massive tribute to our remarkable volunteers. A huge thanks to everyone who voted Green- now is the time to join! greens.scot/join

🟢 @katenevens.bsky.social elected to represent Edinburgh & Lothians East region! Kate is one of four Scottish Green MSPs elected in Edinburgh & Lothians East today, taking our total across Scotland to seven - so far!

Don't forget to vote!

I'm actually really nervous for the first time since maybe 2017? Not been this uncertain of a result since. I don't need to remind you all to vote. But I can say remember to vote to block the most toxic hate campaign that plagues our country - endconversiontherapy.scot#/holyrood26/...
