What the Tories did for us.
An alternative to Labour's cuts exists.
Polling shows the vast majority of people in Scotland back a wealth tax on the super-rich. It would be fair, popular, and long overdue.
This month I am walking a 100 miles for Refuge Action. Please donate if you can. I have so far walked 218 miles this month.
Healthy societies can’t afford billionaires. Every single one is a policy failure.
'Trickle down' economics has never worked. It's nothing more than a way for the rich to hoard ever more wealth while everyone else struggles to get by.
There is a better way. 👇

Trans people exist. Billionaires shouldn't. Scottish Greens.
Tories are stoking hate against the LGBTQ+ community in Scotland.
The Scottish Greens will stand with trans people today, tomorrow and always.🏳️⚧️
The National article: Fears raised over Holyrood pension scheme link to Elon Musk's Tesla Green MSP Mark Ruskell has written to the chair of the board of trustees, Pauline McNeill, to urge trustees to “actively divest” from any Tesla Inc stocks managed by external fund manager, Baillie Gifford.
💷Public money should be used for public good, not for lining the pockets of far-right oligarchs.
🟢 @markruskell.bsky.social is calling on the Scottish Parliament to divest its pension scheme from Tesla.
Labour could choose to tax the rich.
Instead they choose to push more and more people and families into poverty.
Glad to announce the next DG Community Food Network gathering will be held at Newton Stewart #dumfriesandgalloway 21st March. Looking forward to having lots of #communityfood groups all together to talk about #food-resilience ✊ @lusialderslowe.bsky.social @abimordin.bsky.social @propagate.scotland
Today on my LBC Sunday show I interviewed a former Trump adviser. She claimed that Putin wasn’t morally responsible for the war. I challenged her on that claim. She told me she didn’t like me and hung up. And they say the left are snowflakes. Watch the full interview here.

Every democratic leader needs to stand up to Trump and the hateful, authoritarian politics that he represents.
In honour of Janey, I think whenever this state visit happens, we should get as many "Trump is a Cunt" signs ready for him as we can. Everywhere he goes.
This man does not deserve a state visit. Just look at how he treated Zelenskyy. He is no ally of ours and a disgrace to the United States.
"Companies like Walmart and McDonald's make billions of dollars in tax payer subsided profits, yet many of their hard-working employees need tax payer subsidised public assistance". Communism for corporations and billionaires, capitalism for the rest.
Plain and Simple. Ethnic cleansing is being perpetuated by the state of Israel.
Scottish Greens say Tax the Rich. Image of Lorna Slater MSP - Scottish Greens Co-Leader.
Quote from Lorna Slater MSP: The rich have gotten staggeringly wealthy while everyone else’s wages have declined and your pound does not go as far as it used to. Their money just goes up and up and up. We have plenty of wealth in our society, but is being hoarded by a very few. We need to tax that wealth to make sure that money can be reinvested.
We live in a country where the richest 1% control 70% of the wealth.
➡️Endless growth won't bring down your bills; we need to redistribute wealth to the working class.
🟢Scottish Greens would introduce a wealth tax, delivering £70bn for our public services.
The Times. Labour shelves plans to make gender change easier. Insiders expect the manifesto pledge to ‘quietly go away’, avoiding a fight with Reform or Trump.
2 years ago, Scotland overwhelmingly passed a bill to make Trans people's lives a little easier.
❌But the Tories used an undemocratic backdoor to block it.
🥀Now, Labour plans to abandon the LGBTQ+ community and uphold the undemocratic block on Scotland's bill.
This is why we need proportional representation with the single transferable vote system.
On 22 January, GB News presenter Josh Howie repeated a homophobic slur linking the LGBTQ+ community to paedophilia. This is offensive, wrong and unlawful. Join me and @GoodLawProject to file a complaint to Ofcom :point_down: action.goodlawproject.org/ofcom-stop-g...
Big Tech billionaires had a front row seat at Trump's inauguration. They were seated in front of Trump's own cabinet. Tells you everything you need to know.
"do you care about the facts of the matter or are you a bit of a cunt" Perfectly put Jonathan Pie.
"Two intelligent men having a conversation during which they state actual facts - this is the antidote to misinformation and we need it hourly."
War is peace.
Black is white.
Up is down
