My feed is central belt nationalists weaponising unionist subsidy arguments to justify poor investment in remote and rural communities across Scotland.
Yet they’ll be the first to boast the revenue benefits of oil, gas, whisky, renewables, aquaculture etc…
Irony is dead.
In an alternate universe the Highlands and Islands would never have been assimilated into the lowland Scottish state and we would be a stinking rich petro state of half a million teuchters.
This makes no sense…
An MP can wake up one morning, ditch the party you elected them for, & sign up to a completely different manifesto…
And we’re supposed to be ok with that?
Nah
If they defect to a different party, we should get a vote
Sign the petition & help make that law.

This reminds me of the time a few of my friends and I were talking about finding a hobby with a community. I joked about us joining the Freemasons and my friends were like 'you know they don't accept women, right?' Truly the first time being trans has ever negatively affected me
We will robustly defend our decision to require officers and staff to declare if they are Freemasons.
Our response to the decision by the Grand Lodge of England to seek an injunction blocking the implementation of the policy is below.
@elbiemit Almost as bad as when the card machine asks if you want to add a tip for something minor, and you have to shamefully look at the person while pressing no
It's so refreshing to finally have a party championing trans rights, refusing to throw us under the bus and being such staunch allies. I'm proud to say I joined the Scottish Greens, and look forward to campaigning for them in the future!
Zack Polanski, "First, I don't dislike rich people, I just want rich people to pay fair taxation"
Carole Malone, "You said it earlier"
Zack Polanski, "Second, women's rights, I believe, from speaking to women, is violence against women and girls, not being able to get a gynaecology appointment, the gender pay gap"
Carole Malone, "With respect, you can't say what women's rights are because you're not a woman"
"JK Rowling is one and she stands up for women"
Zack Polanski, "She's one woman, as you are, but also I listen to lots of women who say we are trans inclusive"
Carole Malone, "You do not understand what has been happening to women"
Zack Polanski, "You're not trans are you. We can all say you're not that thing so you can't have an opinion" 🔥
"You can still have an opinion from listening to people"
"You are a woman, you're a woman with an opinion"
Carole Malone, "She champions the erosion of women's rights"
Zack Polanski, "I don't hear her talk about women's rights, I just hear her talking about trans people"
Carole Malone, "Well you're not listening to her because that's all she talks about"

People keep telling me to ignore the news if it's upsetting me so much.
My response is to say that if a man is breaking down my door with an axe and threatening to kill me, I can't exactly ignore it even if I do find it distressing to acknowledge his existence.
Since Keir Starmer banned puberty blockers, 15 trans children on the waiting list have lost their lives to suicide. Before his ban, only 1 did.
Keir Starmer and Wes Streeting murdered these children. Sir Keir doesn't give a flying fuck about suicidal people. He wants us dead.
@IrisDuane I saw her speak at a conference a couple years ago and could immediately tell the vibes were off. This last year, and her voting record, have only proven my intuition.
