Hold on a minute, it's actually me and @gillianmacmsp.bsky.social who lead the Green party trying to 'destroy' Britain!*

We do love the raw panic Zack and team have generated in London's elite media circles though 💚

I also wonder how they expect the next generation of journalists, of educators, of politicians to emerge without the arts and humanities subjects on offer at large! The amount of wind Badenoch is talking is worse than the storm we had at the weekend.

Let me know how the weekend's storm affected you. With climate change induced more frequent and severe weather, we need take stock and adapt. That's what will be done after our climate emergency motion passed last week. Report flooding and trees down via the council's website / out of hours numbers.

Any and all books by George Orwell. Life seems to imitate art a lot of the time and its important to see that these "sci-fi/dystopian" novels are quickly becoming reality, but that we can take a stand against it.

Good news on Inverclyde. We are waiting to hear about South Lanarkshire's approach to 20mph. Until then, please sign the petition at www.change.org/p/introduce-...

the way i cackled, neil! 🤣

Green light for 20mph zones roll-out Speed limits will be reduced to 20mph in more than 1,000 Inverclyde streets to improve road safety.

Great news that Inverclyde Council has voted to roll out 20mph zones! This will save lives and make our streets safer for everyone.

This could be us - a graphic shows a map of the EU with Scotland included. happy Europe Day.

9 years ago Scotland voted to remain in the European Union.

An independent Scotland could rejoin the EU, regain our rights as European citizens, and work with our friends across the continent to build a fairer, greener Europe.

Nigel Farage could be the next Prime Minister without winning a single MP in Scotland.

A fairer, greener and independent Scotland that stands in solidarity with migrant communities and against the far right has never been so urgent.

I wrote the Welsh DFM to ask for a meeting about their plans to ban greyhound racing to help our shared understanding of the best way to protect greyhounds across the devolved institutions.

This is huge. The Rosebank & Jackdaw oil fields have been deemed unlawful!

Fossil fuel companies have been playing with our future and raking in the profits, pretending new oil will give us energy security.
It won't.

Hosted an evening of poetry and comedy in Glasgow last night successfully for the first time in two years. My brain and body are lagging today, but definitely worth it. An abundance of talented creatives in and around the west of Scotland! What a privilege to be part of it.

Will keep my eyes peeled for the updates. Best of luck with the coverage, L

Hope everyone across Scotland is staying safe during the storm, but from a privileged perspective they are some of my favourite days. The family all at home together, no appointments or activities to distract us. Although I'm working, it's really nice to stay in together

We’re backing @ross-greer.bsky.social's call for a ban on electric shock collars for dogs in Scotland and will be closely following today’s debate in Scottish Parliament.

BVA continues to call for a ban on these cruel devices across the UK. #BanShockCollars www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politic...

Everyone who has just gotten into dystopian novels when they step outside...

Scotland must follow suit and make our roads safer and our pockets heavier!
