70% of children in relative poverty are in working households in Scotland. ❌️

I'm proud to be part of the Greens, who have championed the Scottish Child Payment as an effective tool in reducing Child Poverty.

While Anas Sarwar parrots Tory takes, we'll use any tool available against poverty 💚

As this war gets messier and messier, it will become more unpopular.

An independent Scotland should ditch the 'special relationship' and be a voice for peace

SEVEN. That’s how many strikes hit near the Iranian girls’ school.

Video shows a tomahawk missile hitting a building next to the school. The kind of “precision” you get when an incompetent administration runs a war on outdated intelligence.

Don’t look away —we should all see the deadly destruction

"Unquestionably blindly following the Americans is, in my view, the wrong thing to do.. I'd pass legislation that said military action could be taken if.. the lawful case for it was made.. there was a viable objective &.. you got consent of the commons"

When's the vote, Keir?

AYMAN: Can you tell me where Iran killed thousands of Americans in America?

ANNA PAULINA LUNA: I said they are responsible for thousands of Americans being killed

AYMAN: Where?

LUNA: Are you serious right now?

AYMAN: It seems like you don't want to have a good faith conversation

Though Labour deemed the move to be necessary, the rest of the world largely viewed the proscription of Palestine Action in July last year as a vicious move by a desperate government, writes Lara Bird ✍️

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.

This is Graham Platner, a candidate for the U.S. Senate in Maine, making an excellent point.

Inherently, we are all frustrated at the same things - the direction of that frustration should be the oligarchy, not those seeking a new life in the UK. 💚

An incredible result in NYC's mayoral election last night that demonstrates that progressive, hopeful campaigning, can win in the face of the establishment's pushback and hard-right heckling. Let us continue this rise in Scotland and across the world.

Scottish Government accused of ‘conscious’ decision to ‘strip out specialist care in the Highlands’ MSP Edward Mountain slams the loss of vascular service as ‘fundamentally dangerous and inadequate’.

A reminder that while John Swinney prepares to unwaveringly accommodate the aspiring authoritarian President Trump, the Scottish Government continues to fail in providing specialist healthcare in the Highlands, forcing people into significant travel.
