Every week we are blown away by the dedication and efficiency of our members who join us leafleting, especially members who only recently joined or recently decided to become more active. We can’t do it without you!

This weekend was Ferryhill, keep an eye out for future events #VoteScottishGreens

Greens plan to crack down on β€˜obscene’ pay of some uni and college principals Greens plan to crack down on β€˜obscene’ pay of some uni and college principals - Times for 10:01 pay ratios to curb inequality

Once again staff at the University of Aberdeen have been pushed to strike in order to be taken seriously. We do not accept the inevitability of redundancies by the hundreds when management are paid more than ever.

Congratulations to Hannah Spencer and our friends @greenparty.org.uk on their historic by-election victory in Gorton and Denton.

We will never let the politics of hate divide us. The Greens will always put people and planet before profit.

Diverting Aberdeen waste to landfill site cost more than Β£370,000 The facility - used by Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Moray councils - was shut down in June last year.

Aberdeen's faulty incinerator cost councils more than Β£150 million to build, and yet costs are increasing with every shutdown.

When it is functional it belches out toxic fumes next to a primary school.

Jim Ratcliffe abandoned workers in Grangemouth and fled to Monaco to avoid paying taxes in the UK.

His hypocrisy knows no bounds.

Another super-rich man blaming immigrants for the problems caused by billionaires.

The victims of Epstein and his associates seem to be getting forgotten amidst the political psychodrama.

Should Starmer resign? Should Mandelson be investigated for the contents of those emails? Yes.

But where is the justice for the girls who were sexually abused? When will their voices be heard?

You know those little fish that follow sharks around, picking bits out of their teeth? Do you think the sharks care much for their views?

One of many reasons to tax the rich and restructure the economy to be more democratic: money represents control over collective productive capacity, and if that is guided by just a few individuals with narrowminded profit motives, we end up with monuments to the absurd whilst basic needs go unmet.

Spain-Africa: Madrid's radically different approach to African migration Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's government is kicking against the prevailing mood among Western nations.

Immigration and international aid are good things. Don’t believe me? Take one look at Spain.

Yes, challenges exist but the mutual benefits for Spain and neighbouring African nations are undeniable. The UK should adopt a similar approach.

The whole point of human rights law is that the Government can be held to account when they breach people's rights.

If the Home Secretary doesn't like it, that's why she needs to hear it.

Unemployment has climbed to its highest level since the pandemic.

Socialist economic policies that have the wellbeing of people at their heart would create jobs for workers.

But we’ve seen the opposite from Labour.

It’s never been clearer that Labour has abandoned its working-class roots.

There is more than enough wealth in this country to end poverty and fund our NHS.

Communities have been punished by decades of Tory and Labour cuts, whilst the super-rich have hoarded Scotland's wealth.
