Definitely would advocate reform (not that one) - be interested to see how the co-opt method works?

[Ballot Box Scotland @BallotBoxScot]

12% turnouts, single-party sweeps of a ward against the whole point of STV, councillors resigning immediately after being elected: maybe it's time we seriously discuss simply scrapping local by-elections and follow the Irish example of co-opting replacements?

Incredible to be at #EGA2024 and hear a positive message of what we can do as European Greens for a better future.

@GEF_Europe hi I’ve registered but done ‘fee waiver’ does that mean I’m confirmed as attending - I have no confirmation?

I don’t think enough people realise this is the biggest threat to our existence - and it’s here!!!

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Current policies are taking us towards a catastrophic 3.1° temperature rise by the end of the century.

Affordable, existing technologies can achieve the emissions reductions we need to meet the 1.5° limit.

#COP29 must drive a surge in climate ambition. https://t.co/m5wz0v9vQC

The Scottish Greens will redouble efforts to improve trans healthcare in Scotland, working on practical ways to protect and expand access to gender affirming care. #SGPconf

@iris_frs Giving Bitch Boss 80’s style :D

I found it concerning that we were told that if we voted against the final agenda we would not be hearing any of our agenda at conference? It felt a little like forcing our hand to vote a certain way and that worried me.

[The National @ScotNational]

What is actually happening? Are we in the Twilight Zone?

🚨 NEW: Chancellor Rachel Reeves says Keir Starmer is a 'working person'

"The Prime Minister gets his income from going out to work and working for our country. He’s a working person. He goes out to work."

Oh they fixed it, I thought it flooded?

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

Will this frozen, underground vault save us from disaster?

The Svalbard Global Seed Vault is hidden beneath the ice on a remote island in Norway, where it houses all the plants and crops the world needs for food security.

This week, another 30,000 seed samples were added.

[The National @ScotNational]

NEW: Patrick Harvie says he's 'seriously worried' about the direction the Scottish Government has been heading since the Bute House Agreement came to an end.

Great to be in Greenock ahead of the @scottishgreens autumn conference tomorrow :)

[Ellie Gomersall 🍉 isn't here anymore @elliebgomersall]

I've brought an amendment to the Scottish Greens conference which would mandate our MSPs to vote against any budget which further cuts funding to local authorities. I look forward to it being debated - read more below. 👇

[Simon Jay Scottish Greens @simonjaysgp]

I wrote an article about why we are bringing the motion to redouble our commitment to trans healthcare at @scottishgreens Autumn Conference.

[Cameron Glasgow @CamiGlasgowSGP]

➡️ On November 14th, put people and planet first in Whitburn and Blackburn.

💚 Every vote for the Scottish Greens is a vote to send the Labour/Tory run council a message. The people of West Lothian demand real change, not more of the same.
