If you really want to ruin Murdo Fraser's day and make sure he loses his seat to @magssgp.bsky.social next May 👇

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.

Ross Greer speaking through megaphone at Palestine rally

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.

Thanks Craig!

It might not be Wednesday, but today we wear pink 🩷

does no-one stop to think how insane it is to suggest it’s dishonourable to the memory of two murder victims to protest the blockade of relief for a man-made famine

The Herald. Four Scots on Gaza aid flotilla ‘kidnapped’ by Israel, Ross Greer says.

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.

BBC News article: Worst bleaching on record for Western Australian coral reefs

Marine heatwaves are threatening the future of Australia's coral reefs.

The climate crisis is here, our house is on fire. It's time to act!

Our thoughts, prayers and solidarity are with the victims and the whole community at Heaton Park synagogue. This horrific attack coming on Yom Kippur will only compound the pain felt by our Jewish friends and neighbours.

Zack Polanski: “We absolutely need to stop the boats” The Greens’ Zack Polanski on facing up to Reform

"We absolutely need to stop the boats,” Polanski said, “but let’s stop the boats by offering safe and legal routes to asylum and not having people clinging on to dinghies for dear life.*

The people who make our lives more difficult arrive in private jets, not dinghies.'

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

🚨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. 🙌

🚨 Scotland has rent controls again!

The Housing bill has passed. So many people got us to this point, inc Living Rent & Shelter, but I really want to thank @scottishgreens.org members who sent our MSPs into Government to deliver this. We did it (even if the Government didn't make it)!

🚨MSPs have just agreed to my @scottishgreens.org proposal to lift the cap on Council Tax for second homes & empty properties.

Scotland has 15,000 homeless children, but 21,000 second homes and 46,000 empty homes. This is a problem we can solve by 'encouraging' second/empty home owners to sell.

Scottish Greens! Make sure you've got your ticket for our conference next month.

This is the start of a really exciting new era for our party. It would be great if you could join us for this weekend of important debates and discussions. 💚

Scots could have council tax debt written off to help struggling families Households in Scotland are chased for missed local authority payments for up to 20 years - despite the equivalent rule in England being just six years.

Too many families are trapped in cycles of poverty and financial crisis because Scotland's council tax debt collection rules are 4x harsher than England's.

MSPs can change that by passing my proposed reforms this afternoon.

Trump and Netanyahu conditioning adequate aid on acceptance of this 'offer' is admitting to the war crime of forced starvation.

That's before getting to the absurdity of demanding that all of Gaza be put under the direct personal control of Trump and Tony Blair for 'redevelopment'.

Labour's plan to beat Reform is to just implement the most harmful, cruel and performative immigration policies themselves. All the societal and economic pain for zero political gain.

We defeat the politics of hate through solidarity, not by racing them to the bottom.

Telegraph article: Scottish Leftists plot tax raid on the King Greens accused of playing ‘gesture politics’ with proposal to end monarch’s exemption on buying property

It's me, I'm the 'Scottish Leftist' your granny warned you about 😲

Also, 'The Telegraph can reveal' is an interesting way to describe a story first published by @severincarrell.bsky.social in the Guardian in April.

A majority of Scotland would abolish the monarchy. Yes: 53%. No: 47%.

£500 million is pulled from the public purse each year to maintain a billionaire king, all while public services are cut and those most in need lose support.

#AbolishTheMonarchy

Families across Scotland are stuck in a cycle of poverty.

Scottish Greens are proposing to wipe out millions in ‘unpayable’ council tax debts in a step to break the cycle.

Streeting has the dividing line just about right, he just hasn't realised he is on the wrong, reactionary side.
