Scotland doesn't need more fossil fuels!
Workers and communities need politicians and companies to be honest and invest in stable, sustainable jobs for the future - not dying industries. #StopRosebank

Very proud my friend and colleague Alasdair Tollemache has entered a progressive agreement to join the Stirling Council administration! He will work hard to cut climate emissions and bills for Stirling's communities, improve buses, protect tenant's rights and restore nature💚

Under Nicola Sturgeon & Humza Yousaf the Scottish Government rightly opposed the proposed Rosebank oil field.
John Swinney has sadly dropped that opposition and tried to avoid taking a position at all.
That's not good enough, so tomorrow the @scottishgreens.org will force a vote.

With less than 200 days to go until next May’s election, we will be working to earn trust, build a movement for change and restore some of the hope that so many have lost.
Next year we will present our boldest manifesto to date, and credible plans to turn it into action. I want people in Scotland to feel the same optimism that many in New York have felt this week, writes Gillian Mackay ✍️

The science is clear.
If we are to have any hope of preventing total climate breakdown, there can be no new oil and gas fields.

Rent freeze? Free bus travel? Cutting the cost of living and taxing the super rich?
If some of this sounds familiar, that's no surprise. If you want more of it in Scotland, join the party that's been making it happen.

Everyone should have an affordable place to call home, but in many communities with high rents, a shocking number of landlords are hoarding property.
