We spent the morning speaking with the Edinburgh Central Mosque, discussing their work engaging local neighbourhoods and global communities from nearly 60 nationalities.

We spoke about Shaheen Bagh, about justice and care, & the transformative work that Muslim women are pioneering in the Lothians.

Stand Up. Fight Back. And vote for hope not hate in May 🌱

Keir Starmer and David Lammy are taking an extraordinarily dangerous gamble with our individual liberty This week, MPs will vote on the second reading of the Courts and Tribunals Bill. Don’t let the anodyne name fool you – this is one of the most revolutionary pieces of legislation in our…

Labour's core voters, on which its re-election entirely depends, are crystal clear about this: they absolutely hate its illiberal, intolerant, draconian, rightwards turn. Hence the total collapse in support. So how does the government respond? #SuicideMission🤦‍♂️

Happy International Women's Day too to all the women and non-binary Green MSPs, candidates, door-chappers, leaflet posters, organisers, policy wonks, activists, ideas-people, comms people, sharers, carers, huggers and cryers. You are all amazing.

Happy International Women's Day! Incredible turnout at the march today in Edinburgh.

Now is the time for solidarity, for resistance and to stand up for the rights of all women, everywhere. And in Scotland, to #GetOutTheVote and prevent the far right from gaining power.

We're out talking with viewers in Musselburgh today, in the glorious sunshine! ☀️🌻💚

After Green wins in Gorton & Denton and Stroud Council elections, we're on a roll. Will you #VoteGreen in Scotland on 7th May?

With Green candidates @katenevens.bsky.social and @qmanivannan.bsky.social

On Sunday I helped unveil an inspiring Women Life Freedom mural in Edinburgh, honouring the courage of the Iranian people who have stood up against decades of mass arrests, killings, censorship and repression by a brutal regime.

The Scottish Greens join Campaign Against Arms Trade, GGEC, Mothers Against Genocide & more in calling for an immediate implementation of the boycott

Last September, the Scottish Parliament made history by endorsing a Green proposal for a comprehensive package of Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel – the first national parliament to do so.

Yet the Scottish Government have so far done nothing to implement the boycott.

Yanar Mohammed, a leading Iraqi feminist and co‑founder of the Organisation of Women’s Freedom in Iraq, was assassinated outside her home in Baghdad on March 2, 2026.

For more than two decades, Yanar was one of Iraq’s most courageous advocates for women’s rights.

Yet another great canvassing session last night with candidate @katenevens.bsky.social, local councillor @rosssmckenzie.bsky.social and former councillor @gavincorbett.bsky.social. The messages and priorities of @edinburghgreens.bsky.social and @scottishgreens.org are a hit with the residents!

Massive congratulations to Hannah Spencer! Such an impressive win, and such a great new MP to have challenging the status quo in Westminster.

The Green movement is growing, join us!

Given that we're told that Muslims as a bloc are communalist, anti-Semitic, misogynist homophobes, you might assume voting for a non-religious white woman, standing for a LGBT friendly party, led by a gay Jewish man, might lead you to stand down all those sectarianism headlines.

Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine must end.

Forcing a Putin-Trump 'peace' deal on Ukraine is not the answer. Negotiations for peace must be with the people of Ukraine, not about them.

Ukraine needs peace. Europe needs peace.
