Former SNP MSP John Mason has just compared pro-Palestine protests to Orange Order marches.

So let's just set the record straight for John... Palestinian rallies aren't stirring up hate or bigotry; they are calling for peace and an end to genocide.

This afternoon MSPs will decide whether to support a Bill called ‘Right to Addiction Recovery’. The title sounds like a good thing, and we all know that Scotland has appallingly high numbers of drug related deaths. So why is this Bill the wrong answer? 🧵

Did you know that the shooting estates owned by the richest landowners in our country get 'small business' tax breaks?

Meaning there are billionaires paying less tax than working-class families. That's not right, tax the rich.

End tax breaks for the super rich. Tax shooting estates. Scottish Greens.

Thatcher sold renters out to private landlords. What followed was nearly 40 years of exploitative rent hikes and tragic living conditions.

Now, Scotland has taken back control from the landlord lobby and given power to the people. Homes are for living in, not for profiting.

🚨BREAKING

40 years ago Margaret Thatcher abolished rent controls in Scotland.

The Scottish Parliament just passed a Bill introduced by the Scottish Greens, which will allow them once more!

This will keep rents affordable and offer safety and stability to renters. 🙌

Rent controls passed! homes are for living in, not for profiteering.

While thousands of rail commuters are forced to stand in the aisle, first class sits empty. It makes no sense to divide up our trains like this.

Return the railways to the people, scrap first class.

Abolish first class on trains. Only 2% of first class seats are sold. Return them to public use. More seats. Better accessibility. Improved comfort.

Children are dying in Gaza right now, but in The Scottish Parliament, there is a meeting of Tories, Independents, Labour and Lib Dem MSPs for the 'Building Bridges with Israel' cross-party group.

Israel is committing a genocide, we shouldn't be building bridges with them.

The 'soul' of the UK is long gone.

Westminster politicians have been chanting "stop the boats", when the real enemy has been arriving on our shores in private jets and yachts to extract every penny out of our communities.

We need to get out of here, it's time for independence.

The ultra-rich in America have been funding the far-right in the UK for years, laying the groundwork for a far-right Prime Minister.

They should be in prison, instead they are going to be pulling the strings of a fascist in Downing Street.
