97 public libraries in Scotland have permanently closed since 2008.

Libraries are an essential community service, providing far more than just books. We'll ensure councils have the financial backing they need so that no community is left without access to one.

Shabana Mahmood has been accused of showing a 'sickening indifference' to human life after she joked about tasering and deporting her political rivals

The Prime Minister knew of Mandelson's friendship with Epstein but chose to appoint him anyway.

As @elliechowns.bsky.social said yesterday: "What is unforgiveable is that he was more concerned with pandering to Donald Trump than with standing with the victims and survivors."

He must resign.

No surprise here at all - completely standard far right tactics, imposing their ideology on our culture.

Of course at the same time they'll throw wild accusations at anyone who says racism is bad, climate change is real, or vaccines work.

New plans to introduce voucher scheme that will help people save money The Scottish Greens want to introduce a repair voucher scheme that will help people save money.

We've all been there, when something breaks and it's cheaper to bin & replace rather than repair it.

The @scottishgreens.org's discounted repairs scheme would be good for buyers, for businesses and for our planet.

Parking shapes our streets more than most people realise.

Today we’ve launched Ahead of the Kerb: a new report on the hidden costs of parking, and how we can use parking policy better to create people-first cities

A Labour Party spokesperson blamed the previous Conservative governments, adding Labour was "finally bringing down" immigration numbers. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood had taken "decisive action" to cut small boat crossings and "restore control of our borders after the Tories' failed open borders experiment", they said. "We have already stopped over 42,000 illegal migrants attempting to cross the Channel since the general election," they added. "We have removed or deported nearly 60,000 people with no right to be here."

Obviously Reform's proposals is simultaneously racist, economically and socially damaging and impractical.

But, yet again, instead of saying so, Labour/the government's response is tin-eared me-tooism.

Great article exposing Reform’s Orban funding and also Epstein’s influence 🤮 Fun fact for teachers though, written by Karam Bales who exposed the anti-school safety astroturf group Us For Them who were platformed more that unions and scientists during Covid bylinetimes.com/2026/04/14/e...

The National. Greens pledge trade union roles on boards of companies. All companies that receive public funding should have trade union representatives on their boards, the Scottish Greens have said.

Trade unions have been the single most important force for improving the pay and conditions of workers, and for forcing an end to some of the worst employment practices.

We would ensure every major contract and penny of public money goes towards boosting workers rights.

The demand for 'consensus' comes from parties who know the Council Tax is horrendously unfair, but who don't want to do anything about it and need someone else to blame.

The @scottishgreens.org are the only party to set out plans to scrap and replace CT in our manifesto.

Green campaigners gathered at the anti-racism march in the sunshine, at Kenmure Street.

Thanks to the @scottishgreens.org members who joined us at the Glasgow Southside anti-racism march.

When communities work together to oppose the far right, the tide can be turned.

Superb episode.

More importantly, the calling out of the BBC on its blatant homophobia and immigrant-bashing.

Scottish Government ‘rolling out red carpet’ for UAE despite Sudan war allegations and human rights record Documents show deputy first minister did not raise human rights once on trip to Gulf state accused of fuelling Sudan’s brutal war.

This is a disgraceful way for SNP Government Ministers to operate internationally.
It’s not who we are.

Offord on the telly again talking about getting '800,000 economically inactive people back to work'.

High time journalists start properly interrogating this abject nonsense.

Today’s The Times Scotland front page with the top story “Cherry: SNP made me ashamed so I quit party”

Hey the Times, I quit a political party over trans issues and have a book to promote, can I have a front page spread?

Oh, that’s only reserved for transphobes and not trans people? Never mind.

This captures some of my concern about the focus on age bans, and phones in schools.

It's not that those specific aspects don't matter. But the narrow focus ignores the far wider harm, and fails to tackle the unethical companies making immense profit from it.

As people get postal votes for the Scot Parl election please be careful of the spoiler operation which is 'Independent Green Voice'. They are listed second on the regional ballot paper in South of Scotland with the real Green Party further down. IGV is a right-wing spoiler operation.

Sharing this again, as the first postal votes are dropping through letterboxes.

Don't fall for the fashy fake greens - look for the logo and vote for the real @scottishgreens.org to demand better for Scotland!

Photo of the South of Scotland regional ballot paper for the Scottish election on 7th May 2026. Added text identifies the "INDEPENDENT GREEN VOICE" as "NOT the Green Party" and "SCOTTISH GREEN PARTY" as "The actual Green Party".

Anyone who received their postal ballot today in the South of Scotland region, please be aware that "Independent Green Voice", which appears second on the list on the peach regional ballot paper, is NOT the Scottish Green Party. This is in fact a deliberate vote spoiling attempt by right-wingers.

A year under attack – and a year fighting back Jess O’Thomson and Jolyon Maugham reflect on what has happened in the year since the Supreme Court’s judgment, and how the trans community has courageously fought back

It's a year today since the Supreme Court decision on the meaning of "sex" under the Equality Act 2010.

Jolyon Maugham and I have written a reflective piece with our thoughts on the judgment, everything that has happened since, and why it's so important that we are still fighting - together 👇
