The health risks from plastics almost nobody knows about Researchers have linked phthalates, chemicals found in plastics, to premature birth, infertility and ADHD.

Chemicals found in plastics pose health risks, including in early pregnancy. I'm sounding the alarm for stricter regulations on plastics/microplastics, because Making America Healthy is inconsistent with the GOP turning a blind eye to big polluters.

We can't give up on creating a healthier planet.

Glasgow Times. Glasgow must resist the far right and celebrate refugee solidarity. column by Patrick Harvie MSP.

Parliament has one last chance to fix it.

At this final stage of the Housing Bill, I'm pushing for better rights for renters, cutting through the noise of the landlord lobby, and building prevention into our approach to homelessness.

Daily record. Patrick Harvie calls on BBC to join Eurovision broadcasting boycott if Israel takes part. Patrick Harvie MSP said the annual musical extravaganza should not be used "to whitewash genocide".

The UK should join the growing boycott of Eurovision if Israel is allowed to take part.

Eurovision is a celebration of diversity, love and unity. But that's not possible if it’s being used to whitewash genocide.

Israel should be removed as Russia was after its invasion of Ukraine.

UK Government rules Israel is not committing genocide in Palestine THE UK Government has ruled that Israel is not committing genocide in Gaza – contradicting a mounting body of international experts who say…

This UK government policy amounts to genocide denial.

Entire communities have been destroyed, families are being starved, and people are being murdered as they queue for aid.

What will it take for Keir Starmer to finally say 'enough is enough' and that Israel has gone too far?

Glasgow is introducing a visitor levy following proposals from Scottish Green councillors!

Already commonplace across Europe, this small charge on visitors to the city will deliver a big boost to funding. 🙌

Sounds about right

@johnswinney.bsky.social Is clearly a kind & considerate man, but Westminster eats men like him for breakfast

Scotland has nationalised water.
And it works.
We have delicious tap water. Cold, fresh, crisp.
Trickle-down economics does not.

The Scotsman. Galloway National Park: SNP ministers told to ignore 'land-owning lobbyists' as new park looks set to be axed.

Our two existing National Parks have shown just how valuable the status can be, bringing huge benefits and investment to the local environment, wildlife, economy and community.

🧵 REVEALED: Community energy projects in Scotland are generating 100x more local wealth than privately-owned wind farms.

But just 0.5% of the renewable power is community-owned. Why this staggering imbalance?

Israel's claim that 'Hamas is stealing aid' is patently a lie. Here's why Western journalists – having promoted Israel's lies for more than a year and half – have grown entirely insensible to their active collusion in genocide

Just an ounce of the personal cost of these abhorrent Labour Government policies.

A clipping of the Stirling Observer with the headline 'Every life lost is a tragedy... let's end the stigma and raise awareness' A side article headline also reads 'Local groups strive to help those in need'.

An important piece in the Stirling Observer today on the impacts of suicide. Particularly pleased to see so many local resources.

Environmentalism without class struggle is just gardening.

When my great grandparents joined the Windrush generation they were not ‘strangers’.

They were coming to re-build the homeland, my Nana as a nurse, my Pop as a builder.

We were never strangers in our own country.

Disgusting racism from the heart of government.

We are no lesser than.
