Gillian Mackay MSP

I joined @scottishgreens.org in 2014. Post referendum, with a massive influx of members, mobilised by a passionate debate - a bittersweet mix of disappointed, but yet hope.

Feels like the hope is coming back. It’s needed now more than ever.

The @scottishgreens.org hit a high record party membership this week 💚

We are bringing hope back by convincing people that a fairer, greener and kinder Scotland is possible.

Reform have accepted a £9 million donation from a multi-millionaire based in Thailand.

Nigel says he won't do deals with the Tories.

But he's happy to go begging to a former Tory donor who has previously handed millions over to Boris Johnson.

Farage is no man of the people!

More and more people are joining the #ScottishGreens because they share our vision for a fairer, greener and independent Scotland that puts people before profit, said @gillianmacmsp.bsky.social

Boycott Eurovision. News clipping from Sky News: Israel allowed to take part in Eurovision 2026 - as several countries withdraw. Scottish Greens.

Once a symbol of unity and hope across Europe, the Eurovision Song Contest has been turned into a pink-washing front for war criminals in Israel.

After today's decision, there must be a global boycott of Eurovision.

There should be no place on the European stage for genocide enablers.

The BBC must follow the bravery of other countries and join the boycott!

National front page: Farage attacks Glasgow pupils for being bilingual - but is fine with his own children all speaking 'perfect German'

Posh prick launches racist attack on Scottish children the day before coming to Scotland...

Can't wait for Reform's only MSP to explain this latest bullshit from his boss.

We need another referendum when Scotland wants it.
Not when Westminster says so.

Democracy is currently being denied to Scotland by the Labour Party.

Please ask your councillor via www.writetothem.com to support my motion on “Investing in Housing & Investigating Rent Controls” at full council next week to bring forward important action on housing.
Thank you! @southlangreens.bsky.social @gillianmacmsp.bsky.social @scottishgreens.org

PLEASE HELP ME GET RE-ELECTED! 🙂

Unlike some, the @scottishgreens.org don't have billionaire donors. We're funded by our members and supporters.

If you could spare a few quid to help my campaign it would be greatly appreciated! 💚

Companies profiting form war crimes and genocide should not be profiting here in Scotland.

This year the Scottish Parliament voted to support Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions against Israel.

Now we need clarity about how the government is implementing it.

Nigel Farage mocked for calling the idea he’d work with the Tories "ludicrous" Farage claims he wouldn’t work with the Tories, but 21 former Tory MPs have joined his party…

Except the 20 odd #Conservative MPs that have defected and the 60+ councillors. Our communities deserve so much better!

Safe homes for Scotland’s swifts Safe homes for Scotland’s swifts -

Last chance to co-sign our proposal to save the swifts before MSPs vote later today!

It's a simple but crucial requirement for all new buildings above a certain size to include a swift nesting brick.

Free bus travel for everyone under 30 is top Budget demand for Scottish Greens - Daily Record John Swinney's SNP Government will announce its Budget next month.

Free bus travel for everyone under 30 is top Budget demand for Scottish Greens John Swinney's SNP Government will announce its Budget next month.

4 years ago we delivered free bus travel for under 22s.

Now we want to expand it to everyone under 30 - improving mobility, lowering congestion and pollution, and leaving more money in people's pockets.

Reducing the cost of public transport is a win-win for people and planet.

Safe homes for Scotland’s swifts Safe homes for Scotland’s swifts -

🪽 Our swift population is in sharp decline. They've fallen by two thirds since 1995 and were added to the UK's conservation red list in 2020.

📨 But we have a simple, low-cost solution. Tell the government that now is the time to act to save our swifts.

We need action to ensure the survival of Swfits!

Swifts are incredible birds that migrate from Africa every year, but they are in serious decline and a major reason is because their nesting sites on buildings are under threat.

Watching the scenes of aggressive protesters outside the Falkirk hotel on the BBC disclosure programme there is clearly a need for a safe access zone. Exclusion zones have worked successfully around hospitals and it now needs done around hotels housing asylum seekers.

The @scottishgreens.org introduction of free bus travel for everyone under 22 has been a huge success.

Lowering the cost of public transport is a win-win for people and planet.

That’s why we are pushing for more people to get a free bus pass as soon as possible! 💚🚌

SNP Government urged to consider asylum seeker hotel protest curbs EXCLUSIVE: Gillian Mackay was responsible for safe access zones for women outside clinics and said asylum seekers may need similar protections.

Safe access zones have hugely reduced the number of anti-choice protests near hospitals.

It is something that government should look at in relation to hotels.

These protests are designed to spread fear.
They don’t reflect the community that I represent.

BBC News. Labour ditches day-one protection from unfair dismissal in U-turn.

This is a disgraceful betrayal of workers by Labour.

Exploitation and unfair dismissal are never acceptable, so why should workers not have protections against them from day one?

Every worker deserves safety, dignity and security regardless of how long they have been in a job.

The headwinds for Mossmorran were clear. That's why in 2022 we commissioned a report looking in depth at future options, followed by summits with trade unions. Governments needed to act much earlier.

Now we need to see real investment in the future of the site and the workforce.
