We need safer roads, not just faster roads.🛣️
The Scot Govt's plans for safety improvements at Dunkeld fall way short of what the community have called for.
No more excuses, we need urgent action to make this junction safer for all. 🦺

Campaigners have been working flat out for years to make the case for Newburgh to be reconnected to Scotland’s railway. 🛤️
They’ve done the hard graft and now it’s up to the Scottish Government to get this over the line.

Yesterday's announcement of new funding for a just transition for Mossmorran is welcome.
But this must just be the start. 🏭
If we want a fair deal for workers and the community, both ExxonMobil and the UK Government need to bring real investment to the table too.💰

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 is unacceptable. This is why my bill to ban greyhound racing in Scotland is vital.

The cost of living hasn't stopped increasing, but the wealth hoarded by the richest people has.
Scottish Greens want to establish a real living wage which increases inline with inflation.
People on minimum wage don't cause inflation, they shouldn't have to bail out the richest.

The @ScottishGreens.org want an environment where our children and young people are celebrated and can thrive.
We would scrap the cruel two-child benefit cap to protect more than 20,000 children from poverty in Scotland.

The tax system is broken. The richest people in the UK get to hoard their wealth whilst many struggle to buy the essentials and keep the heating on.
It doesn't have to be this way. @ScottishGreens.org want to tax the top 1%'s wealth and raise £70 billion for public services.
