Under two hours left in the SGP candidates selections for anyone who's decided to wait to vote until there's maximum time pressure.

Then the wait begins for the results a week or so away.

Scotland is facing an influx of foreign investment in our community clubs. We must protect these much loved assets for years to come by putting the real ownership in the hands of the people who care the most.

We should legislate for fan ownership of football and sports clubs in Scotland.

Football is back today but can I enjoy it with a cold beer? No. I could if it was rugby..

Football in Scotland is still a working class game but only in expensive hospitality suites can you enjoy a pint.

End the alcohol ban, help clubs make profit, respect fans. It's simple

We need more houses and we need them now, but where does that leave us in 5 and 10 years?
Without enough schools, doctors, dentists, sport and leisure facilities, public transport and community spaces.

If you are building a new estate of houses, you must build a new community.

This highlights exactly why buses should be taken into public ownership.

Public transport is supposed to serve exactly that - the public. Private companies like stagecoach put profit above the needs of people and leave communities without viable travel options

People are forced into car ownership
Stagecoach are to scrap a service connecting Dunfermline to Edinburgh in August due to low usage,' but one councillor says the service is 'key' 👇
Anger as Dunfermline to Edinburgh bus link axed

Fife needs a strong voice and champions in the Scottish Parliament that's why I'm supporting @ryanblackadder.bsky.social and @magssgp.bsky.social in their bids to be our next MSPs in Mid Scotland and Fife.

Their visions are exactly what Fife, the region and Scotland needs. 💚

Scots deserves a fairer deal. More money in their pockets from cheaper bills and lower taxes.

Tax the super-rich. Reform our outdated council tax. Fund local services properly - for people and planet.🌍

Back Blackadder #1 in Mid Scotland and Fife to lead that change.

📢 Attention those in Fife!

Fife Council's consultation on Short Term Lets (Airbnb's) in the Kingdom is open.

It's really important residents fill this in and help protect our coastal villages being overrun by absent landlords and key box neighbours coming and going.

One of the Scottish Green's proudest successes is the Under 22 free bus travel. Now we must keep extending it.

I would pursue expanding the eligibility to Under 25s and those on low income.

Transport is our biggest polluter & a huge personal expense. It must be affordable to leave the car at home.

We’re sitting on a goldmine of green potential in Mid Scotland & Fife and yet it’s being wasted.

While other parties drag their feet, we’re ready to invest in people, protect nature and show the world our natural wonder.

I'm the one to help get it done. 🌍 Vote Blackadder #1

Excellent day in Cupar yesterday for the @fifegreens.bsky.social AGM. A great turn out and an excellent walk down the river Eden afterwards (with tour guide supremo Fergus).

Lucky to have such an energised branch, ready for another campaign year 🗳️

Talking about Council sizing and efficiency isn't sexy, but it's important.

Next year will be 30 years since Scotland's Council set up was last reviewed and altered. For some, they are set up correctly - Fife is not.

Lets review our Councils and start by splitting Fife Council up!

Who better to speak up for the changes needed to enhance our railways than an actual Railwayman?

We need faster electrification, investment in new lines and creating stations to connect communities - new and old.

I can be the MSP Mid Scotland & Fife needs to get rail “back on track”

Mid Scotland & Fife has huge potential for community energy – putting power (literally) back in local hands.

As your MSP, I’ll back towns and villages to set up repair hubs, food networks, and local energy projects that cut bills and build resilience.

I'm standing for the Scottish Greens - Mid Scotland and Fife list.

We don't talk enough about Independence. What it means, how we work together to achieve it and how it would change people's lives for the better

Scotland has a radical history, it's future can be the same.

🚨🏃‍♂️Blackadder is running!

Excited to announce I am standing for selection on the Mid Scotland & Fife list for the Scottish Greens.

Now is the time for young, fresh, trade unionist voices to stand for our party and deliver a record result to Holyrood!.. 1/3

This is the direct result of mobilising the voice of a community and a nation.

Over 174,000 online signatures and hundreds of individual objections submitted in writing, the Scottish Government is U-Turning again.

Tremendous work by Ross, his team and such a dedicated community
🚨 The Scottish Government has listened to the 50,000 people who demanded they recall the approval of Flamingo Land's destructive Loch Lomond mega-resort plans!

Ministers will now consider the application directly, not leave it up to officials. They must reject it and end this sorry saga ⛔🦩
June 10, 2025 at 5:51 PM
It’s a terrible look for John Swinney that the Prime Minister has told the BBC neither him nor Swinney consider another independence referendum a priority.

They don’t even discuss it.

It’s not the @scottishgreens.org position. Scottish Independence is essential for people & nature.

Brace yourselves for this one… 🫣😂

Ash Regan isn’t fit to be a member of Parliament. It is beyond comprehension she was previously a Government Minister.

This is the quality opposition the ALBA party are serving up. They are finished.
