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/...

Have you voted yet??? Polls are open til 10pm, you don’t need your polling card or voter ID, just get out and vote!! 🗳️✅ Oh and please #VoteScottishGreens!

Polls are open in Scotland. You don't need ID or your polling card, just pop along and place your votes. All across Scotland you can vote Scottish Greens on the peach ballot.

Get out and vote, NO EXCUSES!

Today is the day to make your voice heard. Let's demand better.

Ross Greer sets out his pitch to voters on the eve of the election, arguing the Greens can help keep Reform out of the Scottish Parliament

Integrated ticketing allows you to use one ticket to travel across different buses, trains, trams, subways and ferries. It's already normal across Europe, making journeys easier and cheaper. Our ScotCard will bring it to Scotland.

We have a good chance to get great results tomorrow. Wouldn't it be fantastic if we got more Scottish Greens than Reform? We can only do it if you get out and vote for us! 💚 @scottishgreens.org @dungreens.bsky.social @ayrshiregreens.bsky.social

The latest poll has us breathing down the neck of Reform for 2nd place. This election is a clear choice. Hope or division. VOTE SCOTTISH GREENS ON YOUR PEACH REGIONAL BALLOT PAPER TOMORROW! 💚💚💚

The last seat on the regional list looks like it's between the Scottish Green Party and Reform, so please get out and vote Scottish Greens tomorrow. Let's demand better for Scotland and choose hope, not hate 💚

Making bus travel free for all is one of the simplest, quickest and most effective steps we can take to build a fairer, greener Scotland. 🟢 More money in your pocket 🟢 Less pollution in your air 🟢 Less congestion on your streets

Tax wealth to properly fund public services. Vote Scottish Greens on Thursday! ✅💚

Out chapping doors in Largs again. Just 3 days to go now! Important messages I'm trying to get across: 1. To maximise the pro indy vote pick Scottish Greens on the peach regional ballot. The SNP will likely win too many constituency seats in West Scotland to get any on the list. 🧵 1/6

No family should have to jump through hoops to get funded childcare. We’ll tax wealth fairly to make sure every kid in Scotland gets funded hours from 6 months up - no means testing, no tax-free top ups, just high quality education for all

Lunchtime read: West Scotland Region Preview Everything you need to know about the West Scotland region in this election: boundary changes, 2021 results, and who the candidates are.

Today I am mostly making pledges and responding to emails, but you can join in the pledge fun too and pledge to vote for the Scottish Greens 💚 greens.scot/pledge

Thanks to @futureeconscot.bsky.social for recognising that only the @scottishgreens.org are taking the Just Transition seriously at this election Our future must be worker led, and fossil-fuel free 💪☀️

These are the kind of boats I want to stop coming into our country

Banks rake in billions while public services are cut. We'll fund local schools and care services by properly taxing £1 million+ business properties like the giant Barclays, JP Morgan and Standard Life campuses. It's time the super-rich and big business paid their fair share.

It's time we taxed the super-rich fairly and built an affordable country for everyone. It's time we put people and planet, not corporate profit, at the heart of Scottish politics. Let's demand better. Vote Scottish Greens.

NEW: The Scottish Greens have pledged to introduce an 'Offord tax' after Reform UK's Scottish leader 'boasted' about owning six homes, five cars and six boats in a live TV debate 🔗 www.thenational.scot/news/2...

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.

Not every policy can be popular. 😞 #bbcdn

✅ Raise the school starting age to 7 ✅ Introduce a kindergarten stage for ages 3-6 ✅ End homework in primary schools ✅ Move away from high stake exams and towards continuous assessment It's time to follow the research and do what works. #bbcdn

Vote for hope. Vote Scottish Greens on May 7th. #stvdebate

With barely a week until the election it remains the case that *not a single Scottish Labour candidate* has signed the ECT Scotland pledges. None of them have backed a ban of conversion practices at Holyrood. Last election over a third of them did. endconversiontherapy.scot#/holyrood26/...

Every vote for the Scottish Greens is a vote to fully implement the boycott, divestment and sanctions against Israel that Scotland’s Parliament already voted for. Let's demand better than complicity. On May 7th, vote Scottish Greens.

Ross Greer responded to the Reform leader: "I think it's worth pointing out there are three times as many holiday homes and empty properties in this country as there are homeless children. "You don't need six homes. You don't even need two homes"

Malcolm Offord was laughed at as his attempt to attack the Greens completely backfired during the STV Leaders' Debate

Fresh from telling us how great Donald Trump is, the Reform leader unprompted tells us how many yachts he owns. 🤷 The easiest question of the night. #stvdebate

🟢 Cut our bills 🟢 Protect our climate 🟢 Improve our country 👉 Vote Scottish Greens on May 7th

🚌If we are serious about tackling inequality, cutting emissions and building a fairer Scotland, then we need to extend free bus travel to more people www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/opinion...

While the oil industry rakes in obscene profit, millions struggle to pay their rising bills. It's time to close the windfall tax loopholes and fund our transition to a cleaner, greener future. We can't continue to be at the mercy of dictators and war profiteers.

Today's front page features condemnation of the UK Government for sending the King to appease the fascist in the White House You might not have noticed but the profile of Trump here is made entirely of words associated with fascism.

Not the Labour Party choosing to punch down instead of actually offering something better for the women of Scotland. I thought these guys were supposed to be about change? Raging. On 7th May vote Scottish Greens. Demand better. @scottishgreens.org @ayrshiregreens.bsky.social

Out campaigning in lovely Largs today

Delighted to have been in the first twenty candidates to sign this pledge (even if it did take me a minute to find the graphic in my inbox!) 💚 @endconversiontherapy.scot

Scottish Greens out canvassing in the sunshine in Greenock (yesterday) and West Kilbride today 💚🌞💚 It's looking like the last list seat in West Scotland is between us and Reform so help us get two MSPs elected in West Scotland and stop Reform.
