Times Editor: You draw that cartoon of Zack Polanski? Peter Brookes: Sure did boss, real fuckin antisemitic just like you asked. Time Editor: great

In primary school I understood the importance of school/work-life balance, and so I hated homework with a passion. At the time, I didn't realise this made me a future Green voter.

Scotland's railways should connect our communities and be the first choice for long journeys. Our ambitious infrastructure plan would: 🚆 Deliver new stations 🚆 Reopen new routes 🚆 Upgrade existing lines Vote Scottish Greens on May 7th.

Yesterday in Hastings, in the wake of antisemitic attacks in Golders Green, I faced Nazi salutes. Today the Prime Minister uses his office to attack the only Jewish party leader to score political points.

Bloody hell. The Met are writing public letters to berate Polanski for reposting criticism of this? Becuase it could have a "chilling effect"? The man is an antisemitic monster and police still shouldn't be repeatedly kicking a tased man in the head and face!

The rise in anti-semitism is real and terrifying for small, and often very visible, Jewish communities. But if you genuinely want to halt it, you'll have a proper conversation about its causes, rather than dancing to the tune of a right wing press that itself has a long history of anti-semitism.

As a Jew I hate this fake solidarity from Nick Robinson and the rest of the press. It does not help Jews, and it is also wrong that he would not help black people or Muslims.

Imagine the headlines if – in somewhere like Russia or China – a senior lawyer faced a secret trial and potentially imprisonment for expertly representing a client and, against the odds, aiding in their acquittal for serious criminal charges. This secret trial is happening at 10.30 today in London.

3. We will come back to this, but it does give their comments today some context: bsky.app/profile/amer...

For context, the acceptable number is 34. Owen Winter liked 34 posts in the last 24 hours.

Spoken words over a melody. This is worse than that time William Shatner performed Rocket Man.

If Ed Balls were applying for a financial product, the firm would have to carry out Enhanced Due Diligence. This is because his partner, as a government minister, is a Politically Exposed Person. Yet we are meant to pretend there is no conflict in Ed Balls being a senior political journalist.

Scottish Greens will introduce a 10:1 pay ratio for any company or organisation receiving significant funding or contracts from the Scottish Government. This would mean bosses can only raise their own salaries by also improving the salaries of their lowest paid staff.

12 days until Anas Sarwar resigns

Great to have @scottishgreens.org co-leader @ross-greer.bsky.social with us and other @edinburghgreens.bsky.social members door knocking in Fountainbridge today. Such great feedback from residents #VoteScottishGreen #VoteGreen

I'm old enough to remember when Anas Sarwar told us Scotland needed a Labour Government in both Westminster and Holyrood. Now he's saying a vote for him isn't an endorsement of Keir Starmer. Farcical.

I wrote this! I ran the numbers a bunch of times, too, and had to convince myself they weren't silly. Teeny weenie black holes are damned weird.

ooft level: off the scale

Excited to learn of Stonewall’s “unwavering” commitment to trans equality.

thought Olly would look like Ollie from The Thick of It, but no.

Conversion practices have no place in Scotland. If re-elected I pledge to do all I can to ensure they are ended here for good.

Sure, you might think you're only there to study literature but now your lecturer is mandated by law to throw in a surprise slide of Goatse, just so you don't get complacent.

Starmer × John Lewis: Never Knowingly Mislead

I am Captain Forensic, no detail goes overlooked by me! [two years later] we regret to inform you that Captain Forensic has misled parliament by mistake

And the racists and misogynists are voting too. Make sure you’re registered x

the freedom of speech to bravely agree with the government

📄 We have set out the bare minimum for a new EHRC Code in this thread. If the Equality Act cannot achieve that, it will no longer be worthy of the name. 🏳️‍⚧️ Will you help us build a fighting fund for what comes next?

It was great chatting to the commuters in Inverness already saving money from the £2 bus fare cap secured by @scottishgreens.org MSPs 🚌 Now we want to go even further! Free bus travel for all is good for family budgets, local economies and our climate 💚

incredibly encouraging. Pancreatic is one of the fastest spreading and deadliest cancers

I'm sorry, but this is utterly unacceptable from Stonewall's new Chair. And entirely unnecessary. Nothing is gained from this except communicating to trans people that Stonewall does not care about them.

Incredible that the UK Govt’s instinct during a fossil fuel energy crisis is to block a wind turbine factory. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Correction to my previous post: You do not, in fact, have to hand it to Giorgia Meloni.

On a less serious note, the font in their manifesto is dire.

We don't know how much The National were paid to run an ad for nazi TERFs, but I suspect they've acquired a lot of subscribers who are LGBTQ+ or allies. Time to start cancelling those subscriptions. We're ten years into this culture war. There are no second chances. Go fash, lose cash.

This took me ages. If you're interested in LGBTQ+ rights in these Scottish Parliamentary elections I hope you give it a look!

oh! they got this all screwed up!

it's me

The top 2% of households in Scotland have more wealth than the bottom 50% combined. Taxing the rich fairly would allow real investment in our shared public services, infrastructure and environment.

The government was forced to admit the EHRC’s transphobic draft guidance got it wrong, and they’ve had to send it back to the drawing board. But the fight is far from over. They plan to bring an updated version back to parliament in May. So we need to act – fast 👇

oh no, the BBC are decimating their staff

Bridget Phillipson says “We are getting it right, showing leadership by implementing the clarity the Supreme Court ruling delivers.” I sincerely hope they, and their counsels, are getting it right, because if it suggests that inclusion could be indirect discrimination, I will still go after them.

I literally dreamt up the cat name “Jimmy Kibble”. Perfect for an American late night cat who is sometimes funny.

It's easy to lose the substantive win here in the Government's transphobic framing. Last summer, we expected the Code to be forced through without scrutiny. Instead, they have had to amend it and recognise they got their legal analysis wrong. It was our community's hard work that achieved this.

Today we launched our 2026 manifesto! 🟢 Want free bus travel for everyone? 🟢 Want accessible and affordable childcare? 🟢 Want to tackle the climate emergency? 🟢 Want to tax the rich? We've got you covered. Read the manifesto at: www.greens.scot/LetsDemandBetter

But we are having an effect - as she is forced to acknowledge - and we will continue to ask the Courts and the electorate to hold Labour to its promises and legal commitments.

It is absolutely vital that our parliament elects a majority in favour of resisting this dark chapter in our history. A majority can push back and ensure our society remains is made safe for the LGBTQ+ community with it.

An update on the future of the active left in Scotland

do you have any idea how unbelievably transphobic you have to be to alienate duncan Hothersall from scottish labour
