We're absolutely delighted to welcome two councillors to the @scottishgreens today.
John Stuart (formerly SNP) and Ross Mckenzie (formerly Labour) are champions for their communities. They've joined the Greens because we put people & planet before profit and stick to our values.

Starmer’s Orwellian compulsory ID cards won’t make a blind bit of difference on “illegal immigration” but will impinge on all our freedom. Scotland should be able to forge its own way with reactionary Westminster interference spying on our day-to-day life. #noID
This is my full article and press release (used by BBC and Guardian) My point: we may know the immediate cause was a campfire run wild, but behind this-climate change is the real cause, and that's all our responsibility. @scottishgreens
Our local forest is burning days after I found unattended fires in the dunes. This record-breaking dry spell is part of climate breakdown. Wake up—do homes need to burn before we act? Whatever the cause. Don’t make campfires. Full stop. @ScotNational@BBCScotlandNews@NScot
To my American friends, today is an epic day and only one result matters, that democracy is upheld. To me this means only one name on the ballot matters. Vote well my friends.
A country is built by investing in ALL its people and what they rely on: clean air, land and water, becuase this leads to good health, jobs and education. If we don't build the foundations, no patch up job will work. The budget = patch up = opportunity missed. @scottishgreens
My article in the press today, featuring the cost of us doing nothing about climate change and biodiversity loss and why we must transition to a green future!
@MorayGreens@scottishgreens
WAKE UP! Climate breakdown means we are at the tipping point as the dangers of a collapse of the main Atlantic Ocean circulation grow, within the next few decades for countries like Scotland, the risks will raise the question whether we can continue to live here. @scottishgreens
There's more than enough wealth in Scotland to end child poverty, but far too much of it is in the hands of a tiny number of extremely rich people and big companies.
We don't need another decade of Westminster austerity, we need to tax the rich!
Whilst welcome it’s a long way from reforming this antiquated institution. In a democracy we should not be run by appointees and peers. @scottishgreens
BREAKING: MPs have voted to back the abolition of hereditary peerages in the House of Lords
Labour’s watered-down plans to reform the House of Lords have passed their first Commons hurdle
Carbon sink collapse is being ignored & could thrust us into chaos. The great forests & microscopic algae of the seas of our planet are being wiped out due to claimate change, yet all we hear is backtracking on commitments to net zero & biodiversity. Shameful. @scottishgreens
@Global_Witness New Labour MPs, including Sue Grey's MP son and Starmer-linked think tank take over £45,000 from oil and gas lobbyists in August, in September Labour launches £22billion fossil fuel "subsidy" via carbon and dirty hydrogen plans. Coincidence? @scottishgreens
@scottishgreens have shown the lead, and well done to those who supported this motion that maintains free bus travel for asylum seekers. A win for a fair and progressive Scotland.
🟢Yes: 68
🔴No: 27
The Scottish Parliament, including the SNP, has just voted for our motion that bus travel should be free for people seeking asylum in Scotland!
After opposing the policy in August, the Scottish Government must now confirm how they will progress the scheme.
The Labour government is lurching from a bonkers "Trumpian" £22billion dirty carbon capture plan to burning biomass (ie trees) imported from countries including North Korea and Afghanistan. Here's an idea don't cut but plant trees = carbon capture = hit net zero. @scottishgreens
We need to deliver public transport for the public good.
It is common sense to over the most vulnerable people in society basic needs, like people seeking asylum.
We are calling on Scottish Government deliver free bus travel for aslyum seekers.
