I'm astonished (I'm not really) at the revelation on @channel4news.bsky.social that Anas Sarwar was trying to do a deal with Reform before the election campaign had even started!

Reform on the #SundayShow : 'Get people off benefits and into work'. Then later on: 'GPs need to work longer hours'.

When I joined the @scottishgreens.org in 2010, the media narrative was "They've got no other policies beyond the environment". Imagine the media telling the Tories to shut up unless they're talking about capitalism, or Labour being told that they can only speak about workers rights and nothing else!

It has been embarrassing to see other parties fighting about who's most eager to give a giant tax break to the fossil fuel giants... the very industry that has brought us to the point of global crisis.

It's encouraging to see the public aren't taken in by the industry lobbyists' demands.

Stand Up. Fight Back. And vote for hope not hate in May 🌱

A torn-paper effect separates this from the bottom half, which features a green-tinted photograph of Scottish Green supporters. Overlaid in large, white, capital letters is the message: "HELP US FIGHT BACK BY SUPPORTING OUR CROWDFUNDER." The poster includes a QR code, the URL "edinburgh.greens.scot/fund-2026," and the Edinburgh Greens logo in the bottom right corner.

Reform’s billionaire backers want to fill Holyrood with MSPs that will do their bidding.

@scottishgreens.org are different.

Our MSPs are not for sale. We don’t have billionaires or oil and gas barons writing our policies. Our donations come from ordinary people like you.

An email from Netflix with the subject line "Don't forget to finish A Man on the Inside"

Congratulations to @greenparty.org.uk and all those campaigning in Gorton and Denton!

Scotland's plan to install heat pumps 'too slow' - climate advisers Independent climate change advisors say the Scottish government needs to ramp up the rollout of heat pumps immediately.

The independent advice to the Scottish Government is clear - their draft climate change plan simply doesn't cut it.

Progress on clean heat has stalled. Road traffic targets scrapped. Expert advice on agriculture rejected. And faith is placed on unrealistic technofixes.

The thing is, Inch Park already has a grass football pitch on it that Edinburgh South can and do use. Along with a rugby pitch and a cricket pitch. They're all open to the local community to use any time, and not for the exclusive benefit of one organisation

Watching Daniel Johnson's Members Debate in the Scottish Parliament about turning the nursery in Inch Park into a 4G pitch. The Council's attempt to build houses on the site was seen off by the local community, now Edinburgh South FC want to cover it in plastic. And fence it off from the locals.

Sorry if you were offended. Those that weren't offended know what I mean though, right? *Wink

Having lost my own dad last year after a short stint of palliative care, this brought tears to my eyes, particularly when @lornaslater.bsky.social talks about not being able to choose when.

@scottishgreens.org tax proposals:

✈️ A new tax on the 12,000 private jet flights taken in Scotland every year

🏰 A 'Mansion Tax' on £1 million+ homes

This will raise millions for services like schools and our NHS.
