Your Scottish Green candidate for Glasgow.

๐Ÿ’šIn Glasgow your Green candidates are @patrickharvie.bsky.social, @elliebgomersall.bsky.social, and @hollybruce.bsky.social!

๐Ÿšจ A new poll shows the number of Scottish Green MSPs doubling at next year's Scottish Parliament election!

That would put us above both the Tories and the Lib Dems.

We're at a crossroads. Itโ€™s more important now than ever to have a strong voice fighting for people and planet, not the super-rich.

100% this. How the interaction of the 2004 GRA and the 2010 Equality Act should work was completely clear and explicit in 2010. Not to say this is a straight-up lie driven by bigotry.

Thanks so much Joanne, this is a hugely appreciated endorsement ๐Ÿ’š

Thank you so much for all your work supporting women throughout this campaign period - it has been so wonderful.

Ellie Gomersall: Banning a protest group as authoritarian as it gets โ€˜NO longer a party of protest. A party of service.โ€ Those were the words of Keir Starmer at Labourโ€™s 2023 party conference. At the launch ofโ€ฆ

"Any politician โ€“ Starmer or anyone else โ€“ who denigrates or minimises the role that protest has to play in our politics, either doesnโ€™t understand where power lies in a democracy, or they do and they are scared of it." โœ๏ธ me for today's @scotnational.bsky.social

Ellie Gomersall: Greens must prioritise rights and representation of women and girls
With lots of talk about the impact of young men's support for Reform and the right, Ellie Gomersall outlines what the party can do to better support women.

At last yearโ€™s general election, young women were twice as likely to vote Green across the UK than young men were to vote for Reform. @elliebgomersall.bsky.social outlines why we must speak to them.

Over the last few days, we've been hearing from readers asking us to "stop giving Nigel Farage publicity" by covering news on his interventions in Hamilton, or reporting on Reform in general.

We won't be doing that. No-platforming Farage will only help Reform. Here's why ๐Ÿ‘‡

28.05.2025 11:55 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 31    ๐Ÿ” 7    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 6    ๐Ÿ“Œ 6

I'd (of course) disagree that the SNP will be the left voice vs. Reform.

They've moved to the centre & aren't tackling crises that people desperately want sorted like housing, care, & public services.

Greens must shout from the rooftops about these & move to broaden the issues folk trust us for.

28.05.2025 08:42 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 19    ๐Ÿ” 8    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 2

Green politics should be about materially opposing fascism, not just saying "I told you so" when Farage becomes PM. It's incumbent on Greens to take the fight directly to Reform - we know that it's both Green ideas and Green votes at the ballot box next year that can defeat the far-right.

When the Cass Review came out last year, the NYT rushed to cover it complete with post notifications. After reviews in Germany and Utah came out supporting gender affirming care for trans youth, dead silence. You can be just as biased in what you don't cover as what you do.

If only Anas Sarwar was a policy thief as well as a patter thief, then Labour would be in a better place.

If you want a radical alternative to Reform, it ain't Labour, it's Green - have a read of my piece a wee while back in Green Left Scotland ๐Ÿ‘‡

Wes Streeting is continuing his crusade to forcibly detransition young trans people - or force them deeper into the dark web. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Last year my wife had breast cancer and a double mastectomy.

This morning, for the first time ever, she was challenged in the changing rooms at the swimming pool. Her breasts were not what make her a woman - but, breasts or not, she is entitled to dignity and protection from vigilantes.

I've had the privilege of working closely with Ellie ever since I got active in politics.

She's the kind of person Glasgow & the Greens need as an MSP.

Tireless, compassionate, intelligent and deeply committed to the transformative socialist politics our parliament needs.
