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.

Would love to hear the committee ask whether McSweeney, Starmer etc have ever considered hiring a woman for anything ever.

If you are a Councillor, please watch this. It happened nearly 50 years ago in the Netherlands. The arguments against restricting traffic were the same as those made today and were proven to be wrong. Many cities would greatly benefit from a circulation plan. youtu.be/bgKokpZMFnU?...

I'm sorry but government subsidising energy companies is so completely stupid I'm struggling to grasp why so many are advocating for it. ALL YOU ARE DOING IS LINING THE POCKETS OF THE WEALTHY, YOU ARE NOT ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM. Nationalise critical industries. Thanks for reading.

I'm disappointed- in fact angry - to read in today's #herald that @anassarwar.bsky.social is still planning to cut #ActiveTravel funding l in this way. A backward move, which is likely to cost @scottishlabour.bsky.social votes in some key seats, in Glasgow and Edinburgh in particular @spokes.org.uk

This roe deer was very unexpected this morning. It was at the bottom of the slope of Calton Hill and seeming to be considering jumping down to Regent Road. #UrbanWildlife #CaltonHill #Edinburgh

New polling predicts that all four of us will win seats in the Edinburgh and Lothians East region! I could not be more excited about our prospective MSP team, & the potential we'd have to make real change together. @qmanivannan.bsky.social @lornaslater.bsky.social Vote Scottish Greens on 7th May!

I’m enjoying the hospitality at The Crannie during a quick break from helping people at their drop in today

A wee snippet of (a slightly blurry) me talking about the kind of politics I stand for to a wonderful group of people attending an event with Feniks, a local organisation who support the Central Eastern European community in Edinburgh Thank you so much for having me @fenikscentre.bsky.social

A four-day week – without loss of pay – would transform how we work, helping people spend more time with their families, support their communities and live fuller, happier lives. morningstaronline.co.uk/article/scot...

It really is quite egregious to be pointing at Labour and saying they can't beat the Conservatives when on the new boundaries Labour are ahead of them in 2021 terms, never mind the complete Conservative collapse in the polls. This is simply embarrassing, Angus.
