Thank you @lornaslater.bsky.social for coming to meet with constituents today! We covered: 🌻 Nature restoration 🌊 Flood prevention 💰 Funding for community action 🛩 Make polluters pay Please keep pushing for a strong Climate Plan that reduces inequality & improves lives! ##ActNowChangeForever

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-...

🏠 All renters and families deserve financial stability, and should not have to worry about losing the roof over their heads. Homes are for living in and not for profiteering. We need to make unaffordable rent hikes become a thing of the past. Add your voice: greens.scot/EndRipOffRents

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.

We can build a people's railway for the 21st century 🛤️

🚊Have you had your say on the North-South tram extension yet? Residents can provide their views through the official online consultation, which will help inform a Strategic Business Case for the expansion. consultationhub.edinburgh.gov.uk/sfc/tram-nor...

Peaceful protest is not terrorism. It is a fundamental part of civic life, a way for ordinary people to hold power to account when other avenues are closed. www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/opinion...

📢 BREAKING: Scottish Government accepts Green proposal to stop funding Israel’s arms dealers.

If we want to improve air quality, reduce accidents and road deaths, keep our streets safe and meet our climate commitments, ambitious change is needed 🚆 www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/opinion...

It's time for Scotland to stand against genocide.

First day back in term and I must say a massive congratulations to @gillianmacmsp.bsky.social and @ross-greer.bsky.social for their election as @scottishgreens.org new co-leaders

Last chance to vote! Voting closes tomorrow for the new @scottishgreens.org co-leadership team. Don't miss your chance to have your say.

💚All areas and levels of our politics should have compassion and Green values at the heart. Vote Lorna #1 to continue leading the @scottishgreens.org

For children, the return to school is an opportunity to learn, grow and make friends. For us in politics, it is a reminder of our responsibility to ensure that every child in Scotland has access to the best possible education, no matter their background. 🗞️👇

💚 We've gone from being a small but effective party to being a significant force in Scottish politics. We can go further to build a fairer, more progressive and greener country. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEe8...

🌳Like many of you, I watched with a heavy heart on Sunday evening as smoke rose over Arthur’s Seat. And while this fire will heal in time, we cannot ignore the warning it carries.

This week @scottishgreens.org members can vote for the new co-leadership team. Ballots will arrive by email mid week.

To improve our public services we need to fund them properly, which means taxing the rich.

🚨 Happening tomorrow! From Stand Up To Racism Scotland: Join us at the Meadows to send a signal of solidarity with refugees and all those targeted by far-right hatred. Friday 1st August 6pm (near East Meadows play park)

I'm restanding for the position of co-leader of the @scottishgreens.org I'd be grateful for your first preference vote next week, so that I can stand up to the anti-trans, anti-immigrant and climate denial duing next year's televised debates. 💚🏳️‍⚧️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦫

We have the far right coming to Scotland with an anti-trans, anti-immigrant, racist agenda. Climate denial has already arrived in The Scottish Parliament, and The Scottish Greens need to clearly stand against that 🗞️ theedinburghreporter.co.uk/2025/07/lorn...

🚲 Great visit to Soul Cycles this month to talk about the lack of apprenticeship framework in Scotland for bicycle mechanics. We also discussed local infrastructure, traffic management and enforcement which my team and I are looking into for upcoming Parliament business

Today I officially launched my bid to re-stand as co-leader of the @scottishgreens.org 💚 It has been a privilege to represent the party as MSP and serve as one of the UK's first Green Ministers. We can build on our successes and build the Scotland that we want to see. Stay tuned.

Palestinian statehood is a right. Not leverage. Shame on Starmer for not acting sooner.

🎪Festivals are not immune to the climate emergency. The very things that make them magical; the travel, the lights – also make them carbon intensive. I believe Edinburgh has an opportunity to lead the world in showing that culture and climate responsibility can go hand in hand.

❌ Donald Trump is no ally of our country and Scotland’s vision for a fairer and more equal world. No matter where you sit on the political spectrum, we can all agree that we condemn any man who has bragged about sexually assaulting women.

We are pleased to announce our candidates for the 2026 Scottish Parliamentary elections! 💚 Help us elect the most Green MSPs ever to Holyrood next year! members.greens.scot/join You can follow our lead candidates here: @lornaslater.bsky.social @katenevens.bsky.social @qmanivannan.bsky.social

Before and after! Giving the old pines and the young broadleaves a chance: there's little birch, rowan and oak trees hiding in the heather and moss that will have a chance now that the invading Sitka are cleared. #naturerestoration #naturelovers #rewilding

Volunteering at Tombane Farm doing some nature restoration to improve damselfly habitat.

If the Scottish Government won't make it clear to Trump, then I'm sure the people of Scotland on the streets protesting his every move will make it loud and clear. Donald Trump is not welcome here 🍊

🌞We know that climate change is no longer a background concern, it is the biggest issue facing our generation

Last chance to vote! @scottishgreens members. The selection ballot closes tomorrow (Friday 11th at noon). You will have been emailed a voting link last week. Make sure you have your say in who will be in our MSP group in 2026.

📝By focusing on accessibility, biodiversity and culture we can make our park even more special, it’s as simple as ABC ⤵️

Wonderful day seeing nature-friendly farming, kites, red squirrels, osprey and of course beavers! @argatyredkites.bsky.social Mama beaver clearly needed some carbs.

Ipsos polling has @scottishgreens.org on a record 15% next year. Our vision for a fairer, greener and independent Scotland continues to gain support. 💚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

♿We don’t know how these benefit reforms will impact our society long term. But we do know now that disabled people are not safe, respected, or supported under Labour in Holyrood or Westminster.

Ballots arriving in your email today. Please vote Lorna Slater #1

Ballots will be sent to members early next week. Keep an eye out for your email, this is your chance to select our Holyrood candidates for 2026.

❌We may not have the power to stop the UK’s active participation in Israel’s genocide, but we can control where our public money goes - and that should never be put into the pockets of companies who are profiting from some of the most horrific war crimes of our generation.

💚Voting Scottish Greens in this by-election is voting yes to bold climate action and no to cuts that hit the most vulnerable. You’re backing a politics of hope and a clear vision for a better future. Vote Q Manivannan on Thursday, June 26 🗳️

Living Wage Champion: made government grants conditional on paying the living wage, increasing the pay of thousands of workers.

Circular Economy Champion: recycling improvement fund, ban on incinerators and some single use plastics, and the Circular Economy Bill.

We must not surrender to the normalisation of anti-migrant hate. The majority of Scots want to live in a welcoming country, one that values people and community over scapegoating and exclusion. Today and everyday #AyeWelcomeRefugees

Less than a week to go! 💚✅

Over the course of the campaign I’ve heard so many residents talk about the love we have for the canal in our area. I’ve had some of my dearest memories & walks there. That’s why, as part of a busy day campaigning this Saturday, I’ll be popping into the canal festival. I hope to see you there!

The next 5 years are critical for climate and nature. I hope to be re-selected to continue to push the Scottish Government into practical action. We need to get them to do the hard stuff.

We can eliminate poverty in Scotland! One of the reasons I'd like to be re-selected as an MSP, is to work towards a minimum income guarantee.
