So East Princes street gardens closed to erect Edinburghs Christmas (it’s Oct 26th) with remembrance gardens right next to a now building site? 🤔 paths down to the National Galleries have no seating? Come on we can do better with both! No building till after Remembrance Sunday please.

The UK's right wing are now fully embracing positions which only a short time ago were the territory of the BNP and similar.

It's horrific in itself, but it's also letting Labour get away with immigration policies to the right of where the Tories used to be.
Katie Lam envisages deporting many legal migrants + permanent residents. "What that will leave is a mostly but not entirely culturally coherent group of people"

"Not entirely" must intend to signal some regret at being unable to remove some British citizens who she sees as culturally incompatible

Since we delivered free bus travel for those under the age of 22, over 250 million free journeys have been taken.

That's congestion off ours streets, pollution out our air, and money back in people's pockets.

That's a resounding success we can build on.

Forcing people to carry a mandatory digital ID is an extreme authoritarian overreach.

This won't protect the people of the UK, it will protect the ultra-rich establishment, deepen crackdowns on protest and end individual sovereignty. We can't allow it to happen.

This month the Scottish Parliament backed Green calls for boycotts, divestment and sanctions against Israel and companies complicit in the genocide and occupation.

Now it's time to put those words into action at all levels of government.

So many people across the country are struggling.

And they're rightly angry at a political system which has failed them.

With a new generation of leadership across the UK only Greens will deliver the transformation that our country desperately needs. 💚

We stand in solidarity with people seeking safety and against acts of violence and intimidation taking place in parts of the country.
