“A pure net zero approach could see us undertake decarbonisation while actually exacerbating the inequalities we face today.” It was a pleasure speaking to @vickyallan.bsky.social at The Herald about our new report on Scotland’s offshore wind:

A lot of "why would you do this when the Greens are having such a moment?" The councillors are telling you why, and unsurprisingly it's bound up with the particularities of Scottish politics where the Greens are a distinct party to the one led by Polanski. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

I like my other former Green colleagues are fed up of the abandonment of whole communities. I have joined Your Party because I am tired of lending our power to politicians who don’t answer to us. We have the power to fight back with a new politics, I want to be part of a movement, not a slogan.

Tommy Robinson posted a neo-Nazi blog that accused me and my fellow Jews Jack Straw and Barbara Roche of conspiring to flood the UK with immigrants.

Labour's complicity in the genocide of Palestinians continues, it seems. Even if Elbit isn't the final winner, how could Labour think it appropriate to even entertain the idea. www.middleeasteye.net/news/uk-clos...

BREAKING: Israeli attacks across Gaza have killed at least 79 Palestinians, including 41 aid seekers, since the early hours of this morning, medical sources told Al Jazeera. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/dok3fu

now let’s have him explain how her ‘fear’ of Muslims is irrational bigotry but her ‘fear’ of trans women is just common sense

Next I think the Scottish Government should meet with rain over concerns over things getting wet.

BREAKING: Palestine Action will be able to challenge the UK Government's ban on the organisation Co-founder Huda Ammori won a legal battle at the High Court today

Sandie Peggie's homophobia and racism is not an outlier of the gender critical movement. It's a fundamental part of it, and the reason that anti-trans links to the far-right are constantly being exposed.

Here's my speech against the hateful bile UKIP tried to bring to Glasgow's streets - thankfully we outnumbered them 💚✊️

We’re marching on Saturday 25th October to demand better for Scotland. Too many of us are going hungry, can't afford rent, or can't afford the bus. Let's demand better. RSVP now to let us know you're coming! www.nus-scotland.org.uk/march

I'm not running to be Co-leader of the Scottish Greens. I'll keep fighting for people & planet but we need to tackle the cultural issues inside our house first. Members have asked for a cultural review, & I hope leadership candidates make sure it happens. www.thenational.scot/news/2533780...

After the Sandie Peggie tribunal I’m looking forward to the Scottish media covering all employment tribunals with such intensity. At last we’ll get in-depth reporting on workers rights, low pay & unfair dismissal Unless of course there’s some other reason for the obsession. What could it be though?

For the second year in a row the No Pride in Genocide bloc was by far the biggest group at Glasgow Pride. Glasgow's Queer community rejects corporate pinkwashing 'pride ltd.' and instead stands in solidarity with Palestinians and all people whose human rights and lives are on the line.

It feels like everyone I talk to has had issues getting hold of their Labour MP across the whole of Glasgow. It's been bitterly disappointing to not have vocal fighters this city needs - and Glaswegians are wise enough to not let more of these chancers in next year ✊️💚

Spoiler alert: being an arms firm helps massively.

Core to McSweeneyism is the belief that ‘The Voter is never wrong’. Yet for a man so intent on listening to the public, McSweeney in fact seems to have selective hearing. Angus Satow on Morgan McSweeney's manicured rise to power and his current fall from grace as Labour wunderkind.

Seems my Labour MP Gordon McKee - who voted to proscribe Palestine Action - is working with the defense firms involved in supplying the genocide. www.thenational.scot/news/2530768...

Our freedom to protest and speak up is being pulled away from us. The Labour party is dismantling democracy.

We spoke to a senior journalist at the BBC World Service to find out how staff feel about coverage of Gaza/Israel They say the BBC works on an "Israel-first" basis with bosses "constantly buckling to political pressure" Great piece from Steph Brawn www.thenational.scot/news/2529526...

Today the order banning #PalestineAction as "terrorists" came into effect. But they are not terrorists. They are protesters trying to stop a genocide. This is a "first they came for ..." situation. Unless we stand in solidarity against this assault on our freedom, they will pick us off one by one.

Just received news that 27 people have been arrested in Parliament Square under the Terrorism Act 2000 for holding signs saying "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action". This is real police state behaviour.

In one hour it will become a crime punishable by up 14 years in prison to express my admiration for Palestine Action. But I won't feel any differently about them than I do now.

I've written some analysis about Jeremy Corbyn's new party It's reported that it will be an indy-friendly project - and is likely to focus heavily on Gaza and climate. This could be a big challenge for the SNP and Greens among their young voters ✍️ www.thenational.scot/politics/252...

Not a single Scottish MP able to find it within themselves to vote against proscribing Palestine Action as terrorists then? Have the SNP given any statement on why the abstained? Was the reason, by any chance, "we too are in fact a mere gaggle of spineless suited shitehawks who believe in nothing?"

Where is the SNP that wasn't afraid to be kicked out the chamber for challenging the worst of Westminster? Now they seem content to abstain and sit quiet while Labour trash human rights in front of them.

While the British press remains outraged at Bob Vylan's chant of 'death to the IDF', the slaughter of Palestinians has not stopped.

The EHRC, an organisation meant to uphold human rights, is trying to justify discrimination against trans people by saying their presence may cause 'distress or alarm'. Gee, I wonder if the 'distress' of a privileged group has ever been used to justify discrimination against a minority before?

If you're more upset by chants of 'death to the IDF' than the IDF's campaign of terror, torture and murder, then you are the problem.

Some feminist energy on this sunny Sunday 💚

Keir Starmer is sad about the racist language he used but not the racist policy he's pursuing. He's sad that disabled people feel attacked but not for attacking them. He's a human struggling with grief but refuses to recognise the humanity of those in Palestine whose deaths he's enabling.

Translation: We did a big calculated racism and it backfired. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Pathetic behaviour from Glasgow Labour. It is incumbent on all of us to stand up and call out the government when they make mistakes. They could have done this today but instead they were more concerned about their cowardice being called out.

The credit for this campaign lies solely with the tenants and their union Living Rent. Politicians of all parties met with the landlord and they would not budge until they collectivised through their union. There's no credit for politicians to claim in this. www.livingrent.org

These three are exactly what Glasgow and the Greens need. They've worked tirelessly for the party and will bring the invigorating energy we need going into 2026. If you're a local member be sure to give these 3 amazing socialist women your top votes.

Glasgow turned out on short notice in the rain because we want the people of Gaza safe and fed and free. We want our governments to finally stand up for what is right. They should be helping end the blockade of aid. They should be stopping all material support for Israel until Palestine is free.

Protesters have gathered at an impromptu demonstration in Glasgow after Israel illegally detained the aid ship on Monday Scores of activists took to the Buchanan Street steps in response to Israel’s attack on the vessel and were filmed shouting ‘Let the Madleen go’

In breach of international law Israeli forces have captured the activists on Madleen. From the Freedom Flotilla Coalition Telegram: "SOS! The volunteers on 'Madleen' have been kidnapped by Israeli forces. Pressure their foreign ministries and help us keep them safe!" 🧵 t.me/FFC_official...

Just because you're an MP, doesn't mean you're important, talented or a good leader. What people want to see in a leader is vision, passion and drive and these two seem to have none of those.

I've avoided commenting on the Green Party of England and Wales leadership election because, not my circus, not my monkeys. But, posts like this coming from leadership candidates is dumb. Greens need to remember that our movement has always come from protest, not from establishment power.

🚨 New: 'Shocking' scale of Labour’s Big Tech ties In its first 6 months, Labour ministers and top officials met with tech giants an average of *six times a week.* We’ve got the documents. 🧵 New on Democracy for Sale with @lucasamin.bsky.social democracyforsale.substack.com/p/revealed-s...

LATEST: A formal complaint has been issued to the BBC over "bias" on last night's Debate Night. After causing anger by including two Labour politicians, the "Glasgow Special" show also included the Tories (who have 1 cllr) while excluding the Greens ... www.thenational.scot/news/2521877...

I hope those journalists recover swiftly from a traumatic ordeal, and I hope the organisation reflects on how pandering to a fascist bullying regime will not exempt you from its fascist bullying treatment

🧵💚Being a woman in politics is hard enough, and deciding to stand takes a lot of courage. Sincerely, seeing an MSP badmouthing my branch in the press is really making me want to hide instead of coming forward for anything. I personally don't give a f*ck about interpersonal issues(1/4)

Very disappointed to see two senior men within the Scottish Greens ignore guidance from the party about standing aside to increase diversity. Particularly to see @ross-greer.bsky.social suggesting this @sgpwomen.bsky.social guidance amounts to vote rigging. www.heraldscotland.com/news/2521545...
