Scotland generates huge amounts of cheap, clean electricity from renewables. That isn't reflected in our bills though, because the UK's energy system is rigged in favour of the corporations who control it, not the people who need it.

Yes! You can join both the Scottish Greens and Green Party of England & Wales, but if you live here/are pro-indy, definitely makes most sense to join us.

Plus, we're the ones with big elections coming up next year, so there's loads to get involved with!

Lots of people are angry - and they have every right to be.

The chancers in Reform want that anger directed at refugees and other vulnerable groups, not the greedy landlords, tax avoiders and billionaires actually making life so difficult for everyone else.

Hold on a minute, it's actually me and @gillianmacmsp.bsky.social who lead the Green party trying to 'destroy' Britain!*

We do love the raw panic Zack and team have generated in London's elite media circles though 💚

My secret evil plot to ‘destroy Britain’ has been unveiled by (checks notes) the same paper that endorsed Liz Truss.

If I don’t know better I’d say we’ve got them entirely rattled.

Green Co-Leader @ross-greer.bsky.social speaking at the @taxjusticeuk.bsky.social event today.

Due to strained public finances, there's either going to be major tax reform or massive cuts to services.✂️ Ross tabled amendments to make Council Tax fairer, but they were voted down by other parties. 💔

Five men are on a stage, three sitting down. In front of a big screen that says Tax Justice. Many people are sitting at round tables, looking at them.

The offensive bit of Fraser's daft tweet wasn't the mention of Greens, it was when he singled out a religion. If you think that was somehow just fine, try swapping 'Bhuddists' for Jews, Hindus or Sikhs and rethink.

Thankfully, barrel-scraping bigotry and dog-whistles won't save Murdo's dying party.

A Tory MSP was mocked after he demanded "no more Green Party members" at Rangers following the departure of Russell Martin.

We will not stop until the genocide is ended, the occupation is lifted and Palestine is free.

Labour can crack down on the right to protest, but they can never wash away their complicity in these crimes.

It wasn't asylum seekers who increased anyone's rent or energy bills, the rich did that.

Last night four Scots, along with hundreds of others, were attacked and kidnapped by the Israeli navy as they tried to deliver livesaving aid.

The UK government must act.

Four Scots have been kidnapped by the Israeli military while trying to deliver lifesaving food and medical supplies to starving Palestinians as part of the Global Sumud Flotilla.

The UK government must intervene, and this genocide must be brought to an end.
