Back home and reflecting on an inspiring few days in Barcelona at #YoungGreensGA23. Debates were sharp but sensitive and took place on a range of issues from the war in Ukraine, to nuclear power, to disinformation.

I’m really grateful for our green friends across Europe 🤝🇪🇺

It’s voting day at #YoungGreensGA23, after two days of fruitful discussions on resolutions as well as @FYEG strategic plans and political platform!

Wonderful to finally meet @SikyongPTsering today after weeks of preparation ahead of his very successful visit to Scotland and @ScotParl.

Scotland stands in solidarity with Tibet. @freetibetorg.

Brexit. That's it.

[Ross Greer @Ross_Greer]

The Tory Westminster government has used Brexit to give itself a new power of veto over Scotland's elected Parliament.

Everyone who believes in devolution and Scottish democracy should be standing with @scotgov right now. Instead, Labour have sided with the Tories. Again.

[Cross-Party Group on Tibet @CPG_Tibet]

We are looking forward to welcoming @SikyongPTsering & @frasi_la to Scotland next week (27-28/04). Sikyong is meeting with MSPs, @LordProvostEdin, Scottish Tibetans & others. Also speaking at @AsiaScotlandIns. Any media enquiries to @Eleanor_EBR or @Ross_Greer

My nephew is two years old.

He will be 35 in 2056.

What the world looks like by then, will be decided by people in power today.

The IPCC report gives us reason to panic. But also reason to hope for change.

Let us use our power for concrete actions. Not just abstract debates.

Do you agree with us that it's time to abolish this outdated and undemocratic monarchy?

"When I heard Rishi Sunak saying how wonderful it was that Northern Ireland would have the best of both worlds, full access to the European market and full access to the UK market, I thought, didn't we all have that?" - @patrickharvie #bbcdn

🇪🇸 Spain’s self-ID law has come into force, meaning trans people aged 14 and over now have the right to change legal gender through self-determination, without medical requirements.

🏳️‍⚧️ The law makes Spain one of the most ambitious countries in Europe in protecting trans rights.

The European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) list of rights is a thing of beauty. As a parent, I’m keen that my children are fully aware of them.

As we celebrate 🇲🇩’s Independence Day, here are some highlights of the recent EU support for the country.

Throughout these dire times Moldova has firmly stood by Ukraine, hosting refugees and facilitating much needed grain exports.
