We've thus far had over three times more UK General Election polls with April fieldwork than Scottish and Welsh polls combined (13 v 3 + 1).
There won't be a UK General Election until 2029, maybe 2028.
This is simultaneously staggeringly poor but also not particularly surprising, if I'm completely honest...
I've seen some *bad* polling in the past, like the 2020 US Presidential poll that suggested Trump was winning among African Americans because they upweighted a sample of like 3.
But I've never seen such half-arsed polling before.
Absolutely fantastic statement for the Telegraph to make in their article where not only did the provider of their MRP forget to remove Greens from constituencies and suggest Reform's strongest seat in Scotland would be Strathkelvin and Bearsden, *they didn't even do D'Hondt correctly*
MRPs are such a helpful addition to out political discourse! Look here's a bunch with an SNP majority! Ah but here's one with not even an SNP + Green majority, but what it DOES have is the Lib Dems winning *three* North East List MSPs on 10% average constituency vote there, with 0 2021 MSPs! ๐ค
Seem like a no-brainer to support local food producers to supply schools, hospitals bringing benefit to jobs, local economy and good nutrition.

Scottish Green co-leader Gillian Mackay is standout contributor on Channel4 News' Scots leadersโ debate. Like Ross Greer in BBC debate her stance is crystal clear - opposing North Sea drilling, calling for wealth Tax & slamming Malcolm Offord who claims Glasgow is a โdumping groundโ for refugees.

Independence is much bigger than any party, and we need to work together to deliver it. Itโs time for John Swinney to level with people and stop pretending that it is only SNP MSPs that count

In 2014 we were told we could stay in the EU. Instead we got Boris and Brexit.
Scotland's future must be Scotland's to decide.

Keir Starmer stands in front of a fire exit with the word 'resign' above it.
Keir Starmer gave clear assurances to the public and Parliament about Peter Mandelson, which we now know were untrue.
He cannot simply issue an excuse and carry on. Labour MPs must stop defending the indefensible, and Keir Starmer must go.
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.
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!
I think you should dissolve your entire polling firm and find a new job if you publish something like this, to be honest.
I think itโs pretty clear by now that Reform and its voters donโt give a shit about racism or antisemitism. You could be goose-stepping into the Sudetenland at the head of a Panzer division and they wouldnโt really care
Comedy gold โฆ Check the public votes in the Brexit-supporting Daily Mail on rejoining the EU โฆ
We should start removing the citizenship of weasels like this. If you donโt like paying your taxes and want to live in another country, fine, go, but you wonโt be getting back in
Scottish Greens deliver for a fairer, greener Scotland #bbcdn ๐
Scotland has huge potential, but we need the political will to capitalise on it.
We can build up our offshore wind, tidal and wave energy, green supply chains and renewables manufacturing.
We can ensure long-term, secure jobs and wealth are created and kept in Scotland.

A reminder of the facts that should be dominating the debate about energy policy, but which so much of the media ignores.
Our world is frighteningly close to tipping points which would turn the climate emergency into a climate catastrophe.
The transition away from fossil fuel must accelerate.
