Drilling for new oil and gas won't cut energy bills, it won't create stable jobs for our communities, and it will only worsen the climate emergency.
We need a Green energy revolution to make heating our homes cheaper and build a sustainable future for our communities. 🌍

Greens are saving young people hundreds of pounds each year.
4 years ago, we delivered free bus travel for under-22s, now we're calling for it to be expanded. Reducing the cost of public transport is a win-win for people and planet.

Great day speaking to voters around Dunbar high street yesterday. We need more MSPs who will speak up for Palestine and take action to tax the rich so we can tackle the cost of living and fund a just transition. #VoteGreen

DUNDEE UNITED FANS BACK CAMPAIGN FOR A CAP ON TICKET PRICES! ⚽️
Rising costs are pricing families and working-class supporters out of the game.
That is why I am calling on clubs to show leadership and back a £25 cap on away tickets so that the game remains open and accessible in our communities

🚨 Our £2 bus cap launched in Shetland today!
Over the coming months it'll roll out right across the Highlands and Islands. This means you'll never pay more than £2 for a single ticket.
More money in your pocket, and a cleaner environment for everyone. 🙌

I believe with lower prices attendances would be even higher.
