Half of Scotland's land is owned by 400 people. Scottish Greens will limit how much can be bought by any individual or company. On May 7th vote Scottish Greens.

Scotland's land distribution is amongst the most unequal in Europe.

Land should benefit our communities, nature and environment, not just private profit.

We'll limit how much land can be bought by any individual or company unless it provably contributes to the common good.

If you’re voting in Scotland in May, here’s why you need to vote Green with your regional vote to stop Reform UK.

Advocate: J.K. Rowling uses Harry Potter wealth to fund anti-transgender organization.

You absolutely cannot separate the artist and the art without contributing to the persecution of trans people. Boycott everything Potter.

Me too! Grrrr!!

not entirely the point but also a reminder that Substack just partnered with Polymarket so if you needed another reason to get off the Nazi platform, this is it

In the House of Lords today, a government minister refused to rule this out.

To be clear, this would amount to legalising theft. It would fly in the face of public opinion on what is fair, and would mean a surrender of British creatives' work by this Labour government.

There are rumours it is considering introducing a 'commercial research exception' for AI training. This would be disastrous. It would mean handing the life's work of British creatives to AI companies for free, to train their models on.

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.

This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.

Please spread the word.
