Green leader Polanski calls for Starmer to quit over Mandelson scandal Zack Polanski said the Peter Mandelson scandal had damaged trust in politics.

It's time for Keir Starmer to do the right thing and step down.

Many queer and trans young people rely on social media to find community and acceptance.

Especially those whose communities and families may by hostile to their identities.

Such as those being forced through the abuse that are conversion practices.

Social media is a lifeline to them.

This is absolutely shocking. What Shabana Mahmood is calling for is essentially a deeply authoritarian, "big brother” state. It is totally unacceptable, and we must resist this dystopian future.

The Scottish Government has agreed to both key
@scottishgreens.org tax proposals:

✈️ A new tax on the 12,000 private jet flights taken in Scotland every year

🏰 A 'Mansion Tax' on £1 million+ homes

This will raise millions for services like schools and our NHS.

Angus here, either showing total ignorance of likely voting intention of residents, or just spreading shameful tactical misinformation

@ballotbox.scot has crunched the numbers and it’s clearly a race between @scottishgreens.org, SNP and Labour - and one we can win

It's been an excellent first week back in parliament after mat leave but difficult leaving the wee one.

We need to be doing more to support mums across the country back into the work place.

We asked trans and non-binary people in Scotland about how they have been impacted by the cost of living crisis. They told us that the rising cost of living had impacted their lives, including having to choose between the cost of privately transitioning and purchasing household essentials.

Motion passed. Condemning proscription of Palestine Action. "The Scottish Green Party has a long history of supporting Palestine and campaigning against apartheid and the injustices of imperialism and colonialism. We, therefore, should stand against this authoritarian move by the UK state."

Our Autumn Conference has voted overwhelmingly to oppose the anti-democratic proscription of Palestine Action and the criminalisation of peaceful protest.

ID cards are intrusive and unwanted

ID cards are intrusive and unwanted

This is an intrusive and authoritarian scheme that will only increase mass surveillance and allow the government to target marginalised communities.

No money to support vital services, but Labour can find hundreds of millions for this, which appeared nowhere in their manifesto.

Spain votes to boycott Eurovision if Israel competes Broadcaster RTVE is now the fifth to threaten withdrawal from Eurovision over Israel, following the Netherlands, Ireland, Slovenia and Iceland.

The BBC should now do the same.

Israel must not be allowed to use Eurovision to whitewash genocide.

The SNP are celebrating this too, but they were incredibly resistant to doing it.

It took huge pressure to get them to even try it. And they couldn't wait to scrap it as soon as the Greens were out of Govt.

It's only happening because we and others made them accept the evidence that it works.
