I firmly oppose the governmentโ€™s plans for compulsory digital ID cards.

This is an affront to our civil liberties, and will make the lives of minorities even more difficult and dangerous.

It is excessive state interference โ€” and must be resisted.

The anti-immigration bigotry is racist, xenophobic bullshit in and of itself, but none of us should be surprised that the Labour government are using it to increase their authoritarian grip on everyone.

Extremely disappointed in my union over this. A union that doesn't know the meaning of solidarity is no union at all. Scab behaviour.

After endorsing the @radicalglagreens.bsky.social candidates earlier this year, I was delighted to see @elliebgomersall.bsky.social be selected as a lead candidate.

Following last night's hustings, I voted Ellie #1, for a committed, principled, and dedicated MSP for Glasgow Southside ๐Ÿ’š

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.

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‘ 30    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.
