As an MSP I will… work to build an economy based on equality and wellbeing rather than endless growth - taxing the rich, redistributing wealth and piloting universal basic income 🦊

How Greens should respond to the encroaching far-right has been a common theme across these selections. Here’s what I had to say at our Edinburgh and Lothians East hustings
TL;DW: Engage with young women who are increasingly turning to the left.
Vote Kate Nevens #1

Dogs shouldn't be electrocuted.
Tomorrow we're giving MSPs the chance to vote to ban electric shock dog collars in Scotland.
Tell the Scottish Government to follow the recommendation of its own Animal Welfare Commission and support a ban on these cruel devices. 👇

Electric shock collars are cruel devices that cause dogs pain and fear.
On Thursday Scottish Green MSP @ross-greer.bsky.social will bring a vote to criminalise their use.
You can help us ban them for good, but we need to act fast. 👇
