Andy Burnham's first act as Prime Minister is one of environmental vandalism.

New oil and gas fields won't lower bills. This is a fact.

If we want to lower bills, create jobs, and improve our national security we need serious investment in cheap, clean renewable energy.

The impact that hyperscale data centres would have on our communities, environment, and energy systems are unfathomable.

This growing international rejection underscores the importance of Scotland introducing a similar ban, before the damage is done.

Scotland is home to some of the world's most spectacular landscapes.

A Core Paths Fund would help ensure everyone can experience them safely by walking, wheeling or cycling, while protecting these routes for generations to come.

[Scottish Greens @scottishgreens]

From the West Highland Way to local routes, paths keep our communities connected.

But too many have been left to deteriorate, becoming inaccessible and even unsafe.

We're calling for a new fund to protect and expand our network to ensure everyone can experience Scotland safely.

Today marks the 90th anniversary of the Spanish Civil War.

549 Scots volunteered to fight in Spain. Proportionally more Scots volunteered than from any other country

We still have a lot of work to do in Scotland to tackle fascism, racism, and all forms of discrimination.

Government policy on data centres was written before ChatGPT existed.

We urgently need a pause on new centres until we can develop a clear national approach that puts an end to the corporate free-for-all.

Scotland must work for people and planet, not just tech billionaires.

[Ross Greer @Ross_Greer]

The 24 proposals for hyperscale data centres in Scotland would require 1.5 times as much electricity as our country's entire peak demand.

So no, the energy requirements are definitely not in place.

That's why the @scottishgreens are pushing for a moratorium.

There are 24 hyperscale data centre applications in Scotland.

If they're all built they'll consume over 1.5 times the peak energy demand of the entire country.

We urgently need a pause to develop a national approach that works for people and planet, not just tech billionaires.

Reform UK have sparked outrage after putting forward plans which would criminalise election campaign materials in Gaelic and Scots

The Scottish Greens have accused the party of using 'censorship' with their 'dangerously broad' amendment 👇

[Scottish Greens @scottishgreens]

In just two months there were 2,700 excess deaths in England and Wales related to the heatwaves.

Each one leaves behind a grieving family.

Houses, workplaces, cities, the NHS, social care and more all need to be equipped to respond to longer, hotter summers.

[The National @ScotNational]

The recent heatwaves seen across much of the UK in recent weeks are a 'public health emergency in the making' that Scotland 'cannot afford to ignore', it has been warned

[Scottish Greens @scottishgreens]

Not only would this criminalise the use of Gaelic in Scottish elections, it would threaten to jail anyone who uses British Sign Language in a campaign video.

At the first whiff of power Reform's priority is to make democracy less accessible and threaten their political opponents

[Scottish Greens @scottishgreens]

Democracy is about respecting the right of people to choose their own future.

Scotland deserves better than another Prime Minister who believes Westminster alone gets to decide when democracy is acceptable.

[The National @ScotNational]

It’s places like CCA which have enabled Glasgow to become one of Europe’s great cultural cities. Spaces for creativity which are inclusive, community-led and free of the worst aspects of commercialisation are critically important, Patrick Harvie ✍️

[Scottish Greens @scottishgreens]

Donald Trump is a dangerous warmonger who constantly shows contempt for international law and human rights.

The Scottish Government can't hide behind Westminster. It must use every power it has to ensure Scotland isn't used as a staging post for this reckless war.
