Starmer’s Orwellian compulsory ID cards won’t make a blind bit of difference on “illegal immigration” but will impinge on all our freedom. Scotland should be able to forge its own way with reactionary Westminster interference spying on our day-to-day life. #noID

So, nearly 41% of those arrested during last summer’s UK riots had previously been reported for domestic abuse. Were these the same people protesting asylum seekers? What does this say about safety in our country?

This is my full article and press release (used by BBC and Guardian) My point: we may know the immediate cause was a campfire run wild, but behind this-climate change is the real cause, and that's all our responsibility. @scottishgreens.org

What’s wrong with UK (Anglo-centric) media? Utterly ignoring devastating fires in the Highlands. Shameful.

Much of Scotland is currently under an “extreme” wildfire warning, yet irresponsible behaviour continues to put people, wildlife, and entire communities at risk. This cannot go on.

Really great to meet Professional Foodballer Zander Murray, and discuss overcoming homophobia and promoting inclusion in sport. Only 5 out of 130,000 professional footballers in the world are out! Sexuality shouldn't stop anyone being the best they can be. Team @scottishgreens.org on your side!

With mainstream parties backsliding on climate and resilience, cosying up to planet-killing lobbyists, and populists spreading fakery and lies, it's good to be out with the Moray Branch of the Scottish Greens—putting people and planet first. We are nature’s frontline.

This is just the beginning—a full-scale assault on humanity. From immigration to science, democracy, the 99%, and the environment—everything is being weaponized to advance an autocratic agenda, fueled by right-wing enablers and billionaire megalomaniacs.

I'm frustrated with the inaction on food security. When I bring it up, there's often a reluctance to act. This issue can be addressed, but ignoring it is a tragic failure. Labour's lack of action after the Tories is appalling. We need meaningful renewal and a new approach to politics - a Green one!
Britain’s food supply is precarious – and Trump’s chaos is spreading. I have a plan. Do you? | George Monbiot
I’ve started a stockpile, but that isn’t the answer. If crisis strikes, the government needs a strategy to protect us all, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Stage managed ambush of Zelensky - in the words of one diplomatic observer - a planned political mugging. Odd that party allies like Lindsey Graham tweeted hours before meeting “America was disrespected and the deal is off, I have never been more proud of President" - time travel or premeditation?
This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.
Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

"Roads, roads, roads" seduces by romanticising driver "independence" while restricting the individual's freedom to access other transport. The A96 dualling is the NE's biggest red herring, distracting from inclusive, integrated transport for all. Who speaks for the common good? @scottishgreens.org

In the paper this week, climate breakdown takes many forms. the costs are many. Here is coastal erosion on the only road in and out of this peninsula village. One village and we used half our entire budget. Prepared for climate breakdown anyone? @scottishgreens.org

The ultra-rich have unchecked power, manipulating parties, media, and economies. Billionaires like Roman Abramovich, potentially owing £1bn in unpaid taxes to HMRC, show how elites avoid accountability. One rule for them, another for the rest of us. @scottishgreens.org

Just had an interview with "Good Morning Scotland" at 735am. Speaking up about A96, this conversation needs to be one centred on sustainable approaches to transport needs. Let's get beyond the narrative of "more roads" and into community led solutions, active travel, rail, and public transport.

When will we wake up? The Fairness Foundation reports that nearly two-thirds of Britons fear the ultra-rich's political influence is eroding democracy, driving economic shocks and environmental crises, and deliberately destabilizing social cohesion—risking decline or even collapse.

The UK climate and nature bill was scrapped after a backroom deal with Labour backbenchers—an appalling betrayal after years of development & backing from nearly every UK local council, in order to pursue unsustainable & damaging growth that is destroying people and planet.

Millions of salmon are crammed into farms, getting lice and dowsed with antibiotics, anti-foulants & pesticides causing 17 million fish deaths yearly. The sea is then polluted with nitrates that fuel algae blooms, which feed jellyfish. Yet somehow, jellyfish are blamed for fish deaths. Unbelievable.

Confused.com links 20mph zones to lower car insurance costs, citing fewer incidents and increased safety. Meanwhile, Scotland is considering reducing the speed limit on single carriageways from 60mph to 50mph, saving 10% on fuel with little extra travel time. @scottishgreens.org

In 2023, a staggering 17.4 million Scottish salmon died on farms before harvest, exposing the industry's severe environmental damage. It’s time to question whether this unsustainable practice is worth the cost, as it jeopardizes both our ecosystems and Scotland's reputation.
