Exxon mobil announced the early closure of the Fife Ethylene plant at Mossmorran.

This is a yet another example of the political failure to properly plan a transition for workers and communities.

Scotlands Climate Plan could & should be delivering transformational change - helping green farming and supercharging public transport use.

Instead we have this flimsy effort, desperately reliant on the same carbon capture tech that has failed for decades.

Big win for Scotland’s nature! The Natural Environment Bill passed by MSPs will bring in legally binding targets to restore wildlife and habitats. Huge thanks to LINK’s members and supporters who helped make this happen! Let’s keep pushing for strong action and funding to restore Scotland’s nature.

Today we raised our voices outside Scottish Parliament in one last push to ensure politicians stand up for Scotland's nature.

The Natural Environment Bill could be a game-changer - introducing nature targets and Swift bricks. The final debate starts today, we hope to see major wins for wildlife.

Scotland can't afford to be complacent.

We are calling on all political parties to make reducing inequality the defining mission of the next Scottish Parliament.

Scotland can show that fairness and shared prosperity are possible with bold leadership and determination 💪
