Just saw #theseagull at the #lyceum. Fantastic! Who'd have thought it - turns out plays by one of the most esteemed playwrights in the world are really enjoyable!

Must see more live theatre!

Over a thousand people have joined the Scottish Greens since the start of September. That's more than the total membership when I joined the party.

We are building a movement to take on the super-rich and fight for people & planet. Join us.

Join the Scottish Greens today and be part of our growing movement.  Why should I join?  We are always told that the system is broken, but it’s not. It’s rigged. It's rigged in favour of corporations,...

“It wasn’t immigrants who hiked anyone’s electricity bills. It wasn’t asylum seekers who increased anyone’s rent. Trans people didn’t make your weekly shopping more expensive.

We’re here to call bullshit on those kinds of lies."

Since we delivered free bus travel for those under the age of 22, over 250 million free journeys have been taken.

That's congestion off ours streets, pollution out our air, and money back in people's pockets.

That's a resounding success we can build on.

I’m no Trump fan but it’s not fair/necessary for his physician to reveal that the President has what most closely resembles a custom-built mobile bathtub that’s “just for diarrhea” and that the secret service are responsible for making sure he’s “never more than 30 feet from it.”

The system isn't broken, it's rigged. It's time for real change.

Half of Scotland's land is owned by less than 1% of the people. We have some of the most unequal land distribution in Europe!

It's time to curb the power of super rich land hoarders and start giving ordinary Scots and communities new opportunities.

It would be great if we could take a whole country and change the default speed limit to 20mph and then compare it to one left at 30mph. What if it reduced casualties by 25% and with lower risk reduced insurance premiums by £45 a year? Well it did! bit.ly/4gIBPlJ

The weekend shouldn't just be for recovery (and let’s be honest, it barely fits that bill as it is).

We need time to live, not just survive.

We need a 4-day week.

This is a de facto ban on trans healthcare
Glasgow Gender Clinic now has a waiting time of 224 years. The average across the UK is now 25 years.

This segregated system isn’t working and is wasting millions. The NHS has been told time and again - informed consent now.
This amazing article from @vic-parsons.bsky.social via @wearequeeraf.com shows the absolute criminal state of trans healthcare in the UK.

Scotland has a 224 year wait for a first appointment. Yes, you read that right.

The same in #Edinburgh. It invested in its public realm to increase walking and cycling and Mastercard reported a 20% increase in local spend.

Many other benefits were also evidenced in the multi year study - despite predictions of disaster, the scheme was anything but.

It’s disturbing to me, when I say to otherwise kind, intelligent, aware people, “wow, bad shit is happening”, and they reply to me, “Oh you have to not watch the news. Don’t read the papers! Just don’t think about it.”

And NO that is a TERRIBLE answer. That’s exactly how we got here to begin with.

🔴 NEW: Nigel Farage claimed Glasgow houses 50% more “illegal” migrants than anywhere else in the UK. Ferret Fact Service checked the facts — and found the claim is mostly false. Here's why: bit.ly/4fZygHj
