We can do this! 💚

I don't see how this is anything other than the end game for Scottish Labour. They can't win Reform voters, by becoming Reform lite and they are losing everyone else. Do better Labour!

🧵So it wasn't just me that was disappointed by Labour's manifesto. Not only are they battling in a 4 way split for the unionist vote, they have abandoned workers, and LGBT people as well.

Today @lornaslater.bsky.social tells us what @scottishgreens.org would do for our small businesses.

Ahead of next month's Scottish elections, we asked all the main parties how they would support small firms. More here 👇 www.fsb.org.uk/membership/s...

With enormous regret, SLAB is today advising supporters not to vote for ANY Scottish Labour candidate in this election. There are several pro-trans Labour candidates standing on 7 May, but a vote for them would now sadly be an endorsement of explicit transphobia. #NoVotesLabourInMay #TransRightsNow

Bute House Agreement 2.0 would be 'difficult' because of SNP backsliding, Slater says Ms Slater, who is seeking to become the party’s first constituency MSP, is locked in a pitched electoral battle with SNP minister Angus…

EXC: It would be 'quite difficult' for the Scottish Greens to join any future SNP government given the party's backsliding on climate issues, former co-leader @lornaslater.bsky.social told The Herald.

Why Scotland needs a four-day working week - Lorna Slater There is a quiet revolution taking place in how we think about work. For generations, the five-day working week has been treated as fixed, almost natural. But just as past generations fought for weekends, for paid holidays and for safer workplaces, we now stand on the brink of the next step forward, a four-day working week.

⏰ A shorter working week also speaks to the kind of country we want to build. Scotland already has longer working hours than many of our European neighbours. That comes at a cost, to our mental health, to our families and to our communities.

We want to work with trade unions and employers across Scotland to promote and normalise the benefits of a four-day working week, with no loss of pay ✅

Scotland should not be a staging post for US war  - Lorna Slater In recent weeks the world has watched with growing alarm as conflict in the Middle East has escalated into a dangerous confrontation centred on Iran.

Assisted dying does not replace the need for good medical and palliative care. It is about recognising that in some cases, even the very best care cannot remove every form of suffering 🫂

Thanks to the team of @edinburghgreens.bsky.social canvassing for @scottishgreens.org candidate @lornaslater.bsky.social this morning. So much enthusiasm for Green politics right now!

Reform's leader drumming up hate against asylum seekers and refugees. His party are not the protectors of women and girls - they are the danger.

Greens repeat demand to ban Trump’s troops from Prestwick, following Iran attacks Greens repeat demand to ban Trump’s troops from Prestwick, following Iran attacks - Greens have urged the Scottish Government to end US military access to publicly-owned Prestwick airport.

We cannot stand by while yet another catastrophic regional war is unleashed. The Iranian people deserve safety and dignity — not to be trapped between the brutality of their own regime and the reckless aggression of Trump and Netanyahu.
