Last September, the Scottish Parliament made history by endorsing a Green proposal for a comprehensive package of Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel – the first national parliament to do so.
Yet the Scottish Government have so far done nothing to implement the boycott.
Those are some great denials of things she’s not been accused of
Massive congratulations to Hannah Spencer! Such an impressive win, and such a great new MP to have challenging the status quo in Westminster.
The Green movement is growing, join us!

ScORSA Scoping Review: Wellbeing, Health, and Road Safety in On-Demand Delivery Work
workersobservatory.org/resources/re...
"Authored by Dr Karen Gregory and Boyan Karabaliev, the report shows that workplace safety regulations, considered standard in most industries, are inadequate or fully lacking when it comes to app-based ridehailing and delivery services."

Image which shows the change in the boundary of Edinburgh Central between 2021 and 2026.
This image from @ballotbox.scot neatly shows how the boundary of Edinburgh Central has changed to give the Scottish Greens a genuine chance of winning the seat. The Tory vote has since collapsed and they might not even keep their deposit.
🟢Both Votes Green in Edinburgh Central🟢

Yesterday Green councillors called for the city to support the Filton 24 hunger strikers who have been held without trial for months.

Others blocked this as too risky to even talk about, in an eye opening moment for the state of human rights under Labour.

Thanks to our guests @lezleymarion.bsky.social, Cllr Faccenda, @rosssmckenzie.bsky.social, @qmanivannan.bsky.social and @dastonsnp.bsky.social for joining us for the last session of the workshop, giving gig workers an opportunity to directly speak to elected representatives and candidates.
Edinburgh City Councillors meet food delivery workers in Workers' Observatory workshop
🎯 Getting Gig Work on Scotland's Political Agenda
Food delivery workers joined the Workers' Observatory workshop this week to build political momentum towards fair and safe gig work in Scotland.

More evidence of a convergence between our constituency and list vote shares.
More and more people are done lending their vote to the SNP, and want to vote Green on both ballots.
A strong Green voice is the best way to enable progressive policy, whilst advancing independence.
Screenshot of a skeet from Angus Robertson, the SNP MSP for Edinburgh Central and candidate for re-election, falsely claiming “it’s a 2-horse race between the SNP and Tories in Edinburgh Central” which is demonstrably untrue
I’m sorry to see Angus Robertson continuing to share deliberately misleading false claims 🤥
Greens are polling to win the Central constituency 💚 with tories absolutely nowhere to be found
Maybe he’s seen the polling and is scared to tell the truth?

NEW: The Scottish Greens have said they are on track to beat the SNP in Edinburgh Central and secure the party’s first ever Holyrood constituency win
This is heartbreaking to hear about. It's more important than ever to take a stand against malicious misinformation from online hate-filled echo chambers. Solidarity with Edinburgh's Muslim and other religious communities!
New from @workersobservatory.org, who have launched a set of principles and policies to spur MSP candidates for May’s Scottish Parliament elections.
At their core is a demand for fair pay and workplace safety.

A bottomless well of humiliation
Locally and nationally, @scottishgreens.org are representing working-class interests and providing a real left-wing alternative - the very things I had hoped to do as a Labour councillor.
I will continue to spend every day trying my very best to serve the people of Sighthill/Gorgie.

Edinburgh Evening News in which they say… ‘police were allowed to run them off the road. Better still if other road users were allowed to do it without fear of prosecution’
The Edinburgh Evening News printed these lines on a story about antisocial bike use.
‘police were allowed to run them off the road. Better still if other road users were allowed to do it’
I don’t think this is acceptable. The normalising, publishing, promoting of illegal acts towards a group.
Most Brits I know wash their dishes in soapy water and DON'T rinse them.
So the filthy bread knife is hardly surprising.
Scottish Green members have voted to condemn the German and Austrian Greens over complicity in genocide in Gaza. #sgpconf
if you tell me that protesting the government’s complicity in a genocide is unbritish then i’m afraid what i’m hearing is that britishness is bad
Israel is piling crime on top of crime on top of crime.
No wonder it is determined to bring down the entire edifice of international humanitarian law - it's the only hope of protecting itself from consequences.
Btw: the allegations are significantly worse than bedbugs.
Over 200 of us have come together as Women Against the Far Right in Scotland and written an open letter rejecting the far right’s racist lies about “protecting” women and girls. news.stv.tv/politics/nic...
