A digital ID of Keir Starmer. ID cards are intrusive and unwanted.

Forcing people to carry a mandatory digital ID is an extreme authoritarian overreach.

This won't protect the people of the UK, it will protect the ultra-rich establishment, deepen crackdowns on protest and end individual sovereignty. We can't allow it to happen.

The National. Edinburgh becomes first city in Scotland to boycott Israel. Councillors voted in favour of a Green motion which moves the capital closer to implementing Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel.

This month the Scottish Parliament backed Green calls for boycotts, divestment and sanctions against Israel and companies complicit in the genocide and occupation.

Now it's time to put those words into action at all levels of government.

White text on purple background reads: "We all deserve to be safe and feel like we belong, no matter where we come from or how we arrived."

We stand in solidarity with people seeking safety and against acts of violence and intimidation taking place in parts of the country.

Times are tough but people fleeing war and persecution are not to blame for Scotland’s problems. Everyone deserves to be safe and feel like they belong.

When I joined the @scottishgreens.org in 2009 we had fewer members than my high school had students. Sixteen years later, we're a major force in Scottish politics, delivering for people and planet.

It is an immense privilege to be elected co-leader of our party with @gillianmacmsp.bsky.social 💚

Leadership is about listening and empowering people.

By working together, our movement can be a force for good. 💚

A Spokes email to an enquirer, explaining the background to the bad original Elm Row design... Thank-you for your email. Spokes totally agrees with your comments about the arrangement of the cycleways and bus stop at Elm Row (Valvona & Crolla). We objected to the design proposal and have been pushing, with Living Streets and others, to get the design changed. It now has been and works are currently underway to construct a new 2-way cycleway between the bus stop and the parking for the shops. The tram extension project had over-arching powers over design and construction on Leith Walk and a major factor at Elm Row has been the perceived need for lots of parking - fortunately this is no longer the case. This was not our "solution" - the council and their contractors are responsible for the design. Spokes has objected to many aspects of the Leith Walk cycleway, including - the reduced height of the kerb separation from the footway (only 25mm); the sharp bends (since rectified); the poor colour differentiation of the cycleway surface; the unevenness of the cycleway surface; the proximity of vertical structures (bus shelters, poles, etc) to the cycleway (there should be at least 500m clearance). Hopefully we will see further improvements made and lessons learned for future cycleways. The quality of the cycleways that are being implemented as CEC Active Travel projects (the City Centre West East Link and now the Foot of the Walk to Commercial Street, for example) are of a much higher standard, though not without some flaws. Spokes will continue to work to get the council and others to build cycleways that are safe for all. regards, Martin McDonnell Spokes Planning Group and lead on Trams to Newhaven project

#ElmRow

🤔 The original design was by #TramsToNewhaven, to maximise🚘 parking space. We opposed it from the start.
