What are the polls saying? What does the campaign have in store? What could change in the 100 days between now and the big vote? Well if you're a BBS Superfan you'll be up on all this, but regardless you can catch me on Scotland Tonight this evening giving a run through it all!

It very much looks like the US Government has just abducted two people from Scotland hours after our Court of Session ordered that they not be removed.

The US is a rogue state. It's time to evict their troops from their de-facto base at (publicly owned) Prestwick airport.

Sign up now for The Big Plastic Count, which is from 9-15 March.

Thousands will count our plastic waste to reveal the true scale of the UKs plastic problem. We will then call for a future that is free from plastic.

I’m sorry to see Angus Robertson continuing to share deliberately misleading false claims 🤥

Greens are polling to win the Central constituency 💚 with tories absolutely nowhere to be found

Maybe he’s seen the polling and is scared to tell the truth?

The motion aims for a constructive dialogue with key stakeholders in order to address concerns about the scheme in order to strengthen it, for the benefit of the city.

The fact that Stephen thinks this is weird tells you more about Stephen than about me, or the motion, TBH.

The National Park board held a public hearing before unanimously rejecting Flamingo Land's Loch Lomond mega-resort plans.

Then an official overturned that on appeal, without any public hearing or even speaking to the Park's own experts.

My proposal would prevent that from ever happening again.

If you're in the Lothian region, my friend @katenevens.bsky.social is a list candidate for the Scottish Green Party. She's one of the best people I know and an utterly tireless fighter for the vulnerable. Having her as an MSP would be a great thing. Please register to vote (and then vote)!
The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions.

It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

100 days to go until the Holyrood election and I've just done my first "pulling up a politician for misleading claims in light of boundary changes", how appropriate! Another reason FPTP is a bad system: change of boundaries without change of name is confusing and ripe for dishonesty.

The attack on Palestine Action is an attack on conscience and the right to protest. It was a deeply authoritarian and cynical move from a Labour government that has armed and supported genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
