The First Minister @johnswinney.bsky.social should be explicitly condemning the barbaric actions of Trump and Netanyahu. The Iranian people need international leaders to do better than this.

Back in Shetland; out canvassing in Tingwall today, having been down in Manchester during the week.
I have to pinch myself at how many folk are voting Green.
Politics changed this week.
As a similarly longstanding Green Party activist, this⬇️

My take on the Gorton and Denton by election, having campaigned there yesterday, is that this is the end for Labour.
The Green floodgates are opening; there is nowhere now that we can’t win
So proud to be part of the @shetlandgreens.bsky.social team campaigning in the Gorton and Denton by-election for @greenpartyhan.bsky.social and @zackpolanski.bsky.social
If the Greens win here, we can win in many, many places.
Let’s go Greens!
Police officers support the Greens BECAUSE of our drugs policy

On my way down to Manchester from Shetland for the Gorton and Denton by election to support @greenpartyhan.bsky.social and @zackpolanski.bsky.social
This one is going down to the wire- we need all hands on deck.
Energy corporations do not have our interests at heart. They will extract as much wealth and power as they are allowed to.
We need to elect politicians that can stand up to corporate power, not those who are beholden to it.
Drug barons aren’t afraid of the police.
They’re afraid of @zackpolanski.bsky.social.
The Greens’ policy to legalise and regulate all drugs means that we’re the party that is toughest on crime.
The more oxygen our drugs policy gets, the more people see sense in it, the more it gets implemented, the less harm we do to the most vulnerablised folk in society.
3/3
The problem for them is that everyone knows that our drugs laws are failing. More people are using drugs than ever, there is more drug related harm than ever. We are not winning!
/2
When Zoë Garbett and I wrote the Greens’ drugs policy in 2019, this is exactly what we hoped for.
Our opponents think that our policy of legal regulation is a weakness that can be exploited for political gain - but it’s backfiring.

Had a busy week working in Aberdeen this week, but great to get out with @scottishgreens.org members in the evening, campaigning for @maggiechapman.bsky.social to get re-elected to the Scottish Parliament in May.
Maggie has been such an important voice at Holyrood and we need more like her! 💚💚💚
If John Swinney means what he says about Petrofac, we have to stop wasting time debating oil & gas while the industry expires.
Instead, let's put all our force behind investing in Aberdeen's green energy future.
I’ve been a @greenparty.org.uk activist for 10 years, now a @scottishgreens.org councillor.
I’ve knocked thousands of doors and had thousands of doorstep conversations.
The Greens weren’t so popular back then, but we always believed our hard work would pay off.
Thanks @zackpolanski.bsky.social
Human Rights now and always.
@scottishgreens.org welcomes refugees.
Shetland consultant paediatrician and councillor @alexjarmitage.bsky.social is proposing policy to “unambiguously” end prohibition of drugs in Scotland, and ensure distribution of the most dangerous drugs is controlled by health professional.

After speaking at a March for Gaza in Eastbourne today, a group of young people told me the Green Party and its new leadership team gave them hope in politics for the first time in their lives.
We now have over 20,000 Young Greens, now is the perfect time for young people to join us. 💚
Our movement knows & believes in our collective power.
110,000+ people across England and Wales getting involved in our communities to do politics differently.
A politics of community to build a country we can all afford to live in.

This would nearly DOUBLE the UK's yearly emissions.
How does this give kids a liveable future? How does this lower bills? How does this make the UK a leader on climate resilience?
It doesn't. It makes more money for energy companies, & f❗cks up our future.
Shaetlan has finally been recognised as a language in its own right.
The recognition comes after the local language was given its own ISO code by SIL Global, the organisation that handles the international Ethnologue database has been tasked with the handling of international language ISO codes.
Legalise *and* regulate drugs.
This morning on @jeremyvine.bsky.social:

Polanski is talking nonsense about wealth taxes.
Greens who want to save the world by destroying britain
As if they keep writing all these headlines - and our membership numbers and polling just keeps shooting up. 🚀
Now at 110,000. Over 55% increase in just one month!
Lower bills. Fund NHS. Tax the super rich.

Lina Khan on stage at the podium
"We have an economy where a handful of modern-day robber barons wield extraordinary power. They hold enormous control over our paychecks, our bills, our time, and our futures.
...But the good news is that nothing about any of this is inevitable." - Lina Khan
The truth about the green party's booming membership
Many on the right will try and belittle and undermine what’s happening.
But here’s the truth. Tens of thousands are joining Greens. Polls are at record highs. People are just starting to feel hope again.

A compressor at Shetland's oil terminal broke for *nine* straight months last year, pushing the isles' entire methane emissions to a near decade high.
"It's an embarrassment for the whole community."

Prohibition of drugs is a moral crusade that’s been failing for 50 years.
We need legal regulation of drugs.
If you’re a Scottish Greens member, please use your vote at conference to support drug policy reform.
Zohran on stage at the rally.
In twelve days, New Yorkers will begin to cast their ballots and face a stark choice.
A choice between democracy and oligarchy. Between a city you can afford or more of the same. Between the hope of a brighter future or a broken past.
We will choose the future.
