📺 Catch me on STV at 10.40pm. It's @scottishgreens.org conference this weekend and we're going into it in fine form. Our message of hope, that Scotland can be a fairer and greener place, is striking a chord. Share our vision? Join the movement: members.greens.scot/join

Immigration and international aid are good things. Don’t believe me? Take one look at Spain. Yes, challenges exist but the mutual benefits for Spain and neighbouring African nations are undeniable. The UK should adopt a similar approach. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The whole point of human rights law is that the Government can be held to account when they breach people's rights. If the Home Secretary doesn't like it, that's why she needs to hear it.

The system isn't broken, it's rigged. It's time for real change.

“Every vote for the Scottish Greens is a vote for an independent Scotland in the European Union.” - @ross-greer.bsky.social We need to improve the lives of the people of Scotland. We need your support. It’s time for a bolder politics. greens.scot/news/every-v...

📺Scottish Greens Party Political Broadcast. Tuesday 14 October, 18:25 STV & 18:55 BBC One Scotland.

Unemployment has climbed to its highest level since the pandemic. Socialist economic policies that have the wellbeing of people at their heart would create jobs for workers. But we’ve seen the opposite from Labour. It’s never been clearer that Labour has abandoned its working-class roots.

'The people who make our lives more difficult arrive in private jets, not dinghies.'

There is more than enough wealth in this country to end poverty and fund our NHS. Communities have been punished by decades of Tory and Labour cuts, whilst the super-rich have hoarded Scotland's wealth.

Our climate is in crisis, yet politicians continue to ignore it Enough is enough, it's time for action. Join the movement fighting for climate action 👉 greens.scot/join

Due to unforeseen circumstances and poor health (I’m on the mend), I’ve not been as active as usual. However, I will be helping to facilitate the Rainbow Greens discussion on relations with the Green Party of England & Wales tomorrow evening. Hope to see you there!

📢Scotland's land belongs to the people, not the super-rich land hoarders.

Reminder: Our Future Relationship with GPEW Tomorrow evening we will be discussing our relationship with the @greenparty.org.uk If you’re an LGBTQ+ member of the Scottish Greens, please get in touch and come along.

Far too much of Scotland's land is hoarded by a small group of the extremely rich. But we can change that. Scottish Greens are working to strengthen the upcoming Land Reform Bill to boost community ownership and put Scotland’s land in Scotland’s hands.

In 2022 Scottish Greens delivered free bus travel for everyone under the age of 22. Since then over 250 MILLION journeys have been taken! 🟢 Improving mobility 🟢 Saving money 🟢 Reducing congestion 🟢 Lowering emissions 💚 Building a fairer, greener Scotland

Solar grew by 31% globally in the first half of 2025, while wind grew by nearly 8%. Renewable energy is the future, providing safe, clean and cheap power - in sharp contrast to the volatility of fossil fuels. In Scotland we must continue building on our success in this booming industry.

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.

Disabled and elderly people in Insch cannot afford to wait another decade for their station to be made accessible. Cut the bureaucracy. The UK government must give ownership and responsibility for rail infrastructure in Scotland to Scotland. www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/aber...

The team were out today with our lead @scottishgreens.org candidate for North East Scotland, @guyingerson.bsky.social We’re campaigning to cut people’s bills, defend LGBT+ rights, push for independence, and save St Fittick’s Park! You can help; join our movement today: members.greens.scot/join

“Most obviously, this has been to try and drive a wedge between LGBT equality and feminism and women’s equality. That is a strategy directly imported from the radical right in America.” - @ross-greer.bsky.social We need more brave politicians standing for equality! www.scotsman.com/news/politic...

The scenes in London today are deeply concerning. A far-right conman, aided by tech and media billionaires, managed to mobilise 100,000 people. Including thugs who attacked police and counter-protesters. Sending my solidarity to everyone who is feeling anxious right now. You’re not alone.

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.

🏠 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.

We stand in solidarity with people seeking safety and against acts of violence and intimidation taking place in parts of the country. Times are tough but people fleeing war and persecution are not to blame for Scotland’s problems. Everyone deserves to be safe and feel like they belong.

Eurovision should not be used as a forum to drown out the cries of those experiencing war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. Just like Russia, Israel should not be allowed to take part until there is peace and its leaders are held accountable for their crimes.

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.

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.

Both the @aberdeengreens.bsky.social and @dundeeangusgreens.bsky.social teams will be out campaigning across the region. Join us. Let’s build a better Scotland. 3/3 members.greens.scot/join

Having been democratically selected by members across the North East, I’m determined to be one of them, delivering for people in my region, my home. We can only succeed with your help. 2/3

I’ve returned from Norway feeling inspired. Despite expectations, Greens more than doubled their seats and elected their youngest-ever MP. We can elect a record breaking number of MSPs as well. 1/3

We've all experienced having to stand in a packed train while first class sits completely empty. It makes no sense to divide up our trains like this. Our railways should be welcoming, inclusive and accessible to all. It's time to scrap first class and return those seats to use.

Scotland is one of just a handful of countries where greyhound racing continues. Last year alone in the UK it led to the deaths of 346 dogs and the injury of a further 3,809. Our bill will end greyhound racing in Scotland for good.

🚨 BREAKING! The Scottish Government has announced that it will back our bill to ban greyhound racing! This cruel sport resulted in the deaths of hundreds of dogs in the UK last year. It's time to end it in Scotland for good.

Keir Starmer’s reshuffle won’t give you the change you need. If you want real change for the better, join our movement. A new generation of Green candidates and leaders is taking on the establishment. You deserve better. Join the @scottishgreens.org 👇 greens.scot

This week trains in Scotland got cheaper! 🚆 Our public transport must be accessible, reliable and affordable. That's why we've worked so hard alongside unions and passengers to scrap peak fares on our railways, and provide free travel for young people on our buses and ferries.

The @scottishgreens.org aren't just changing the conversation. From scrapping peak rail fares to banning Israel's arms dealers from getting any more public cash, we are delivering real change. Join our movement today and help us achieve even more for Scotland. members.greens.scot/join

The Israeli government is committing war crimes and genocide. The UK government should be expelling the Israeli ambassador, not inviting their president over for tea. www.thenational.scot/news/2544143...

Scotland's richest 2% now have more wealth than half the population combined. At today's #FMQs we asked the First Minister why shooting estates owned by billionaires still pay no business rates. We’re losing millions of pounds that could go towards our schools, libraries, and hospitals.

The Scottish government will no longer give public money to companies arming Israel. The Israeli government is committing war crimes and genocide in Gaza. It is only right that our money doesn’t help them to commit these atrocities.

🎉BREAKING: Scotland has joined the global movement to boycott Israel! The proposal put forward by Green MSP @patrickharvie.bsky.social was supported by a majority of members in the Scottish Parliament.

✅Scotland is to BAN funding for Israel's arms dealers! Scottish Greens have long fought for this change, alongside @amnestyscotland.bsky.social, @oxfamscotland.bsky.social, and others.

Gaza needs actions, not words. 🇵🇸 It's time for Scotland to stand against genocide.

Jobs in oil & gas have halved since 2014 despite hundreds of licences issued since then. Global demand for oil & gas will likely peak around 2030. My region needs a REAL plan. We need secure and sustainable jobs in renewables and other sectors. Not this. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“New research by the Energy & Climate Intelligence Unit shows 98% of UK farmers have faced extreme weather events in the past five years.” The climate crisis is pressuring our farmers, causing food inflation, and risks our food security. We need action. www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/business/...

No more peak rail fares! ⤵️

Our lead candidate in the North East is a former oil & gas worker. This is what he thinks of the Conservatives new energy policy 👇

The SNP are celebrating this too, but they were incredibly resistant to doing it. It took huge pressure to get them to even try it. And they couldn't wait to scrap it as soon as the Greens were out of Govt. It's only happening because we and others made them accept the evidence that it works.
