🌳Tree planting and greenspaces should be a requirement for developers. If we are serious about improving public health, tackling the climate crisis and building better places to live, then this is a simple, practical step that we cannot afford to ignore.

'Unless the SNP are willing to realign themselves with the things that we think are priorities...'

It would be 'quite difficult' for the Scottish Greens to re-enter government with the SNP, says Lorna Slater 👇

⏰ A shorter working week also speaks to the kind of country we want to build. Scotland already has longer working hours than many of our European neighbours. That comes at a cost, to our mental health, to our families and to our communities.

I had the privilege of serving as one of the first Green ministers anywhere in the UK, a milestone not just for our party, but for the wider green movement. It showed that Green politics is not just about protest, it is about delivery.

The cruise ship levy was part of a range of Green proposals that introduce tourist taxes to help alleviate the impact of tourism on local communities. I know that Edinburgh (and Leith especially!) can feel the strain from ships docked in the area 🚢

These revelations show the rotten boys’ club culture of entitlement, cronyism and cover-up that still sits at the heart of Westminster politics 🙄 https://t.co/r0TTlGVmyG

We all have a duty to ensure that the bill protects vulnerable people, and I know my MSP colleagues will consider this carefully when debating the bill this week 🫂

Straight up racism from Reform on the BBC, who's surprised ☹️?

Assisted dying does not replace the need for good medical and palliative care; everyone deserves excellent end-of-life care. It is about recognising that in some cases, even the very best care cannot remove every form of suffering 🫂https://t.co/2ryIbJS3HB

Pleased to stand with @EISUnion and meet affected staff from Napier to hear their concerns about potential job losses 👩‍🎓

Reform's leader drumming up hate against asylum seekers and refugees. His party are not the protectors of women and girls - they are the danger.
