At a local hustings in Dunbar: got a big cheer when I pointed out that growth doesn’t fund public services: there is plenty of money in the economy, we need to redistribute it. Vote like the future depends on it!

There’s only one place to start, and that’s with a heartfelt thank you to every single member of Parliament.

All have acted in good faith. And all have recognised that this Bill is about protecting women’s access to healthcare, and have approached the debate in that spirit!

Rly glad after a long campaign & Trans&Env talks, CEC are now installing thicker-depth, tougher tactile slabs on all Leith walk side streets.

To reiterate, peds rightly always have & will have the right of way on continuous footways, but blind (& all) ppl need a safety indicator

Divestment from fossil energy and arms companies is needed, as Ben Parker writes, 'sponsorship is a form of endorsement'.
💰💣🛢️
Targeting public sector and cultural sponsorships is a wake up call for how systemic the interest in these companies is, and how much power they yield.

“How can the council talk about climate justice whilst advertising flights, cruises and SUVs on its property?” 🚫✈️

I’m proud to have led calls for the Council’s ban on advertising and sponsorship with fossil fuel companies and arms manufacturers 💪

BREAKING: Douglas Ross to resign as Scottish Tory leader after the General Election

His decision to run for David Duguid's seat has cost him his job. Backbench Tory fury proved too much

What a great day. Had to thank the Gazebo for its service, say farewell & send it to the Great Gala Day in the sky but met half of Leith, Greens, colleagues, Comm Cllrs & all the Voluntary Organisations that keep Leith running. Thank you Leith Links Community Council & Leith Gala Day.

In council we are often told to leave discussions of peace, security and international justice out of the chamber, as they are reserved to Westminster.

But actually given a chance to discuss what their parties would do in power at UK level? Labour, SNP and Tories don't show 🤨

I’m incredibly proud to be one of the 44 @ScottishGreens candidates in this election. This is double the number of candidates we stood in 2019.

It is more important than ever that we send a clear message to Westminster. Enough is enough. We need real change.

Voters across the city of Edinburgh need clear and concise information about their candidates and policies at this election. Stuffing spoof newspapers through people’s mailboxes isn’t being direct or even honest with people.

During Covid, UK Billionaires got £150bn richer.

Why can’t we pay nurses properly?

Why are millions of folk sinking into poverty?

We’re giving our money to the super rich.

We need *wealth taxes*

It’s wild that other parties think the status quo is acceptable.

Vote Green 💚

People are looking for a fresh perspective. There’s a Green curiosity that hasn’t been there before.

On July 4th, let's make sure so-called 'bigger' parties get the message. in Glasgow South.

Thanks to Lucy Jackson for listening: thenational.scot/politics/24371…

Public service announcement: anyone sent a rent increase should challenge it!

Landlords are sending out eye watering rent increases of up to 60% in the hope that tenants won't know that they are able to challenge any rent increase.

Don't let them get away with it.

I'd genuinely like to know from Lib Dem voters in Edinburgh West why they keep voting for this contemptuous shower.

Misleading the electorate is their speciality; the newspapers, the bar charts, the council administration that they claim not to be part of...
