COP30 overpromised, underdelivered, empowered distractions, backtracked on issues and once again gave big oil and big ag a free pass.

Unfortunately, the suspicions of climate scientists (here in Brazil and abroad) were confirmed again.

Keir Starmer should be arrested. And if not by the police, by the people.

We pay his salary for him to protect the welfare of the British people, not for him to facilitate the holocaust of the Palestinian people.

He does not represent us. He is a monstrous war criminal & he belongs in the Hague! 👊

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.
Scottish Government to support Green Bill to end greyhound racing
Green MSP Mark Ruskell said he is ‘delighted’ the Scottish Government will support the general principles of his member’s Bill.

"They're all men of fighting age coming over"

1. Half of all refugees are women & girls.

2. Many men make the journey first to protect their sisters & mothers from smuggler exploitation.

3. Many men are fleeing military conscription.

4. Young men's lives are just as precious as anyone else's.

5 million disposable vapes are thrown away every week in the UK, ending up in our streets, parks, rivers and beaches.

We're delighted that following hard work from Scottish campaigners, their sale is now banned.

This will benefit young people and local environments for years to come.

For far too long, far too many landlords have been able to get away with doing the bare minimum while their tenants pay the price.

Houses left in disrepair, tenants treated poorly, and rents hiked year after year.

Scottish Greens are putting in the work to change that.

Scotland's first drug consumption room has already seen over 1,000 visits, helping to tackle drug misuse in Scotland.

Addiction is a health crisis, and people deserve to be treated with empathy and support. Through this we can help them stay safe and find their road to recovery.

2 years ago, Scotland overwhelmingly passed a bill to make Trans people's lives a little easier.

❌But the Tories used an undemocratic backdoor to block it.

🥀Now, Labour plans to abandon the LGBTQ+ community and uphold the undemocratic block on Scotland's bill.

LGBT+ rights were won over decades through activism, struggle and solidarity.

But now more than ever we see powerful forces working to divide us and roll them back, while others stand aside.

Human rights are non-negotiable. They must be at the heart of Scotland's future. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.

The average UK household spends 14% of their income on transport.

That's why we've put proposals for a £2 bus fare cap at the heart of our budget negotiations.

With some routes costing more than £5 the annual savings for a commuter could be in the thousands!
