In November the @scottishgreens.org had an overwhelming response when we called for this Bank Holiday. Delighted to see that the FM has backed our proposal.

I know some of my older constituents may be struggling with loneliness this winter. It's important to know what support is available that can help you find a way towards feeling better.

America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth.

The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth.

When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
