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

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.

This is where change starts. It's up to us.

We stand with Ukraine. Scottish Greens.

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.

Taking a women against the far right organising call from a pub in Leith - not ideal.

We really need more third spaces and cafes open in the evening in Edinburgh, for organisers, freelancers, gig workers and non-drinkers to collaborate and rest.

This is VERY exciting. Bring on 2026!

We cannot make the systemic changes in society that we need through parliamentary politics alone - we have to work hand-in-hand with our grassroots activists & the wider Green and socialist movements.

Here's a short video of me talking abt the importance of movement-building & building connections
