UK recognition of Palestine as a state is welcome, if decades overdue. It does not stop this genocide though. We need sanctions against Israel and the companies enabling it. The cost of continuing the slaughter must be made far too high for it to continue.

Recognition of Palestine is welcome, even if it's decades overdue. But it can't be just symbolic. It must be followed by robust international action, including boycotts, divestment and sanctions, to make Palestine's statehood and security a reality.

Good. But this must only be the first step. It doesn't end Labour's complicity in the ongoing atrocities in Palestine. UK-made weapons are used, UK forces train Israel's army, and Israel's president is welcomed to Downing Street. We urgently need an end to the genocide.

Always a good sign when the newspaper of the far-right is raging. I think one of the richest families on the planet should pay their taxes. What about you?

Our billionaire king gets exemptions on capital gains tax, inheritance tax, corporation tax and more. Next week we're bringing a vote to end the 100% tax break he gets when buying property in Scotland. Power and privilege is no reason to avoid paying your fair share.

This Bill is only happening because of the Scottish Greens, who introduced it to ensure that rent controls and new rights for renters were at the heart of the legislation. nen.press/greens-will-...

Next week we'll vote for rent controls in the Scottish Parliament. Not only will they help keep rents affordable during tenancies, but in rent control areas landlords won’t be able to increase rent before a new family moves in. It's time to bring skyrocketing rents to an end.

The cost of food should not be outstripping wages. Supermarkets and retailers should not be given carte blanche to profit from essentials like food. There is nothing more important than our health and being able to access good, affordable food. www.thenational.scot/news/2547468...

7.5 million people in the UK already live in food poverty, and food prices are spiralling with inflation. Price protections can help ensure people are able to feed their families. The UK government must work with supermarkets to ensure prices are affordable.

Migrants help keep our NHS running, immigrants work in our schools, on our farms, across our hospitality sector and they set up businesses that create jobs. Immigration brings skills and innovation, it enriches our culture and teaches us to be interested in the wider world.

The BBC should now do the same. Israel must not be allowed to use Eurovision to whitewash genocide.

Scotland has a choice. We can be defined by fear or we can lead with compassion. The vast majority of Scotland want to be a country that treats all people, regardless of where they were born, with dignity and respect. We must say clearly that racist protests have no place here.

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

This evening Donald Trump will arrive in the UK to enjoy his state visit with Keir Starmer. We all know that you don't defeat authoritarian bullies like Trump by grovelling at them. We must stand up for human rights and democracy, and for all those suffering under his regime.

As one of the ‘big 5’ Eurovision broadcasters, the BBC carries a loud voice and should use it to join others in speaking out against Israel’s inclusion and joining the boycott.

Labour have blood on their hands. Throughout the atrocities they've armed and supported the Israeli military. Just last week they denied this genocide and rolled out the red carpet for the Israeli president. Governments must take every step they can to end the destruction.

"The far right scapegoats people who have been through unimaginable trauma, blaming them for failures in housing, public services, and the economy that are in fact the fault of governments this country has elected." - @patrickharvie.bsky.social 👉 www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/2541082...

Eurovision is supposed to be a celebration of peace, unity and love. A state committing genocide cannot be allowed to take part.

The BBC must join the growing list of European broadcasters who won't take part in Eurovision if apartheid Israel is allowed to compete. Together with @zackpolanski.bsky.social, Mal O'Hara and @anthonyslaughter.bsky.social I've made this call to the BBC Director General.

Last week in Holyrood, I called for first class ticketing on ScotRail to be scrapped, as @scottishgreens.org research shows 98% of tickets go unsold.

Cultural boycotts have been vital in telling oppressive regimes they will not be normalised. Israel must not be allowed to use Eurovision as a platform to launder its reputation while committing atrocities. The UK should join the growing boycott of Eurovision if Israel takes part.

I don’t want anyone to have to sit through more tedious Tory debates. I want us to invest and to fund it by making Scotland a harder country to be a millionaire in, writes Lorna Slater ✍️ www.thenational.scot/politi...

ICYMI: I was delighted last week that the Scottish Government have stated they will support my bill on banning greyhound racing.

We must never normalise war crimes. When Gaza is being obliterated, and the Palestinian people collectively punished and deliberately starved, we all need to take a stand. That includes Eurovision.

🏠 Households across Scotland are experiencing the impact of the #HousingEmergency, caused by a broken housing system. 📉 What broke it? This week, MSP Patrick Harvie highlighted in Parliament what's long been clear: decades of under-investment and a failure to act has created the housing emergency.

The UK should join the growing boycott of Eurovision if Israel is allowed to take part. Eurovision is a celebration of diversity, love and unity. But that's not possible if it’s being used to whitewash genocide. Israel should be removed as Russia was after its invasion of Ukraine.

Committing war crimes anywhere is a criminal offence in the UK if the perpetrator returns here. Sadly, a number of British nationals have fought in Israel's occupation forces. Evidence of them committing war crimes has been submitted to the Met. They must be prosecuted.

More rail companies are taking steps to reduce first class services. It's time that ScotRail did the same.

At #FMQs today I asked the First Minister if anyone who served in Israel's occupation forces before returning to Scotland will be investigated and if necessary prosecuted under the ICC (Scotland) Act of 2001. Wherever a genocide is committed, it is a crime in Scotland. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Every government and every leader who cares about human rights and the genocide in Gaza should be cutting their political and military ties to Israel. Keir Starmer's response to the collective punishment of over two million people has been a grotesque failure of moral leadership.

Last week the Scottish Parliament voted for Scotland to join the global movement to boycott apartheid Israel. Proposals brought forward by Scottish Greens have been supported by a majority of MSPs.

Keir Starmer welcoming the President of a genocidal apartheid regime. This should haunt him for the rest of his tenure.

Asylum seekers are not to blame for: the housing crisis, public services on their knees, or gender based violence. It's our unequal, unjust, and unfair system. And it's benefitting the people who keep trying to scapegoat migrants.

While thousands of rail commuters are forced to stand in the aisle, first class sits empty. It makes no sense to divide up our trains like this. It's time to scrap first class and return those seats to use.
