Scot Govt has finally agreed to @scottishgreens tax proposals to take on the super rich.💰

With a new tax on private jet flights✈️ and a 'mansion tax' on homes worth more than £1m 🏰 we can finally raise millions of pounds for the public services we all rely on.

Every child deserves to live on a safer street. 20mph speed limits save lives, the roll out needs to be completed in Scotland.

Reducing speed limits can, and does, save lives.

It is disappointing the Government will now not be rolling out changes to the national speed limit on some roads, despite recognising themselves that 'speed makes a difference' to safety.

One step closer to Burntisland harbour access. Pleased to hear the Cab Sec has listened to concerns raised by the local community. The council and Forth Ports must be held to account for removing access.

This would be a sensational result with many more Green voices at Holyrood but we can only get there with a well funded campaign.

Please donate to my campaign crowdfunder there’s just a few days left to meet my target! 💚
