For a lot of people and animals, the period from the end of October to Hogmanay can be a dangerous and stressful time, and bonfire night is often the worst of it. Thank you to the emergency services and everyone who worked to make Bonfire Night safer this year ✨

Zohran Mamdani has built a people-powered movement of hope, the likes of which hasn’t been seen in the US for decades. There is a global movement for hope in these times of political darkness. Join us as we put that hope back into Scotland, our time is now ⤵️

This past weekend’s horrific events on an LNER rail service have shocked us all. 🚆 We should recognise the vital role played by the RMT and ASLEF unions in standing up for staff, securing fair pay and ensuring that rail workers have the tools and training they need.

The Scot Gov must support local authorities across the country to Boycott, Divest from, and Sanction Israel.

This war didn’t begin two years ago, and the occupation stretches back for generations now. Unless there is a fundamental change we will be in the same situation. International pressure must continue to build until the occupation is over, and Palestinian lives are rebuilt. 🇵🇸

Public consultations have shown overwhelming local support for expanding these zones and they are already helping to reduce harm and anxiety for animals and vulnerable people alike.

💚 Only the @scottishgreens.org can fix our rigged housing market and make our society fairer for all.

The Housing Bill, introduced by Scottish Greens, has passed! ✅ Rent controls ✅ The right for renters to keep pets ✅ The right for renters to decorate ✅ Increased council tax on second homes ✅ Support for those who are homeless or at risk of homelessness 👇 And more

Do you know or work with bike mechanics in Scotland? We want to hear from you to look at creating a new apprenticeship scheme 🚲 Email me: [email protected]

📷 Labour’s proposals risk creating a society where everyone must prove who they are simply to go about their daily lives. Is this really the future we want?

We are fixing a rigged housing market. Rent controls are coming thanks to the @scottishgreens.org 🏠

🏠No one should be spending most of their pay packet just to keep a roof over their head, while landlords make record profits. Homes are for living in, not for profiteering.

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.
