Great example of why we need public services in public hands across the UK.

Greens across Britain stand for renationalising because it’s value for the public, not shareholders.

Whether it’s @greenparty.org.uk , or @scottishgreens.org - join the Greens today and be the change the UK needs.

Public services in public hands. 🙌

Scotland has a lower cancellation rate than every English region.

We must now invest in expanding the network, increasing capacity, and ensuring a reliable, affordable service is available for all. 🚆

Public ownership pays off. Cancellation rates 24/25. Scotland: 2%. England: 3.5%. Cancellation rates have been falling in Scotland since ScotRail was taken back into public ownership.

Latest poll puts Greens just two points behind Labour. When I said we weren't here to be disappointed in Labour but to replace them, I meant it.

Astonishing advance by the Greens, astonishing implosion of Labour. When will Starmer's government get the message that it is destroying its base with deeply unpopular, rightwing policies?

By chasing Reform, it legitimises the far right while delegitimising itself.

Concerning direction from the US.

Freedom to the shark, is death to the minnow.

Divide > Distract > Conquer.

We need to stand together and look out for each other.

The enemy is greed, not each other.

Inspired to have a leader like @mothinali.bsky.social, amongst us in the North. It’s refreshing to see someone who tells it like it is, knows the struggle, but demonstrates we can all move beyond the hate & division, and move forward together, with compassion and courage.

Stand together, not alone.

Kemi Badenoch blames those crossing borders for our problems. It’s a lie aimed to distract.

The real issue is a system protecting the super-rich while nurses & carers can’t make ends meet. Tax wealth fairly, fund public services properly. This is how we give Britain hope again.
