With England now proceeding with institutionalised conversion therapy through government policy it is now indefensible for the Scottish Government not to proceed with its own ban independently.
We must protect LGBTQ+ people here and provide a safe harbour.
Medical transition for trans kids is now banned for new referrals on the NHS. Trans kids in the UK can still go private or DIY (for now).
This means the new clinics that replaced GIDS are close to useless at best, conversion therapy at worst. 1/5
Fire on union st, currently destroying buildings from the side entrance of Central Station through to Gordon st
The Union St fire is so intense, it's hard to say just what devastation it will bring to the City Centre yet.
I hope we will see this eventually under control, & urgent discussions by all levels of Government & owners to assist rebuilding a true cornerstone of Scotland's busiest railway station π
This international women's day remember better is possible, for all women.
We can elect a Parliament that won't run scared of "controversy", will actually bring forward a Misogyny bill that's promised, will refuse to reduce women to body parts in legislation.
Scotland deserves better than this.
Great progress in weeks since Scottish Greens Alasdair Tollemache took over leadership of transport at Stirling Council including piloting two new rural bus services (C61/62) and new Eastern Villages service planned ππ

"Reform want to end the Equality act to 'get rid of the βpernicious, divisive notion of protected characteristics'"
What's what? The anti-trans opportunist brigade never meant to stop at trans people and intend to eat all your faces? Who could have guessed!
This week the Greens will bring a vote in Parliament to ensure Scotland ends complicity with Trump's extremist regime.
It's time to evict Trump's troops from Scotland.
The US under Trump is increasingly becoming a rogue state, from invading Venezuela to threatening Greenland. Scotland must not be complicit in his crimes.

Very excited to see another projection showing Greens winning Edinburgh Central π³οΈππ
BBS summary of Norstat poll for Sunday Times 14/02/26. Greens up to 11% and 11 MSPs. Full figures and maps can be found at Ballot Box Scotland.
Another poll showing the @scottishgreens.org on track for a record result. That Reform figure is absolutely rank though.
Every seat we gain is one less potential Reform gain.
We have 82 days to bring hope back.

Article in the National: 'When will we see action?': John Swinney challenged over Israel boycott
Last September, Scotland's parliament passed a Green motion to boycott Israel, but months later, the SNP still haven't taken action.
Warm words from the First Minister aren't good enough; Scotland must end its complicity in genocide.
Scotland deserves better than Keir Starmer and Anas Sarwar.
For a country that fights back against the super-rich and puts people and planet before profit, join the Scottish Greens. π

βGood morning! Weβre just calling on people in the area ahead of the Scottish Parliament elections in May. Have you got a couple of seconds to say if youβve thought about how you might be voting?β
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.
We've already made huge progress towards our goal!
Help us get our message onto TV screens across the country. Chip in today!

Headline in the National reads: Exclusive Labour goal of 'Panopticon' surveillance signals 'dystopian future'
This is absolutely shocking. What Shabana Mahmood is calling for is essentially a deeply authoritarian, "big brotherβ state. It is totally unacceptable, and we must resist this dystopian future.

The Scottish Government has agreed to both key
@scottishgreens.org tax proposals:
βοΈ A new tax on the 12,000 private jet flights taken in Scotland every year
π° A 'Mansion Tax' on Β£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 itβs clearly a race between @scottishgreens.org, SNP and Labour - and one we can win

Back to work... β
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.
What will those cheering on Trump's attack on Venezuela say when it's Greenland next, or when China does the same in Taiwan?
