East Lothian Greens

While we're hitched to the roller coaster of gas prices, we can never overcome the cost of living crisis.

When we're in control of our own clean energy generation, that is proper energy security.

@lornaslater.bsky.social #bbcdn

In East Lothian and across Scotland there is so much potential for renewables, but communities aren't getting enough of the benefit. We need action to ensure that every community can share in the benefits of clean, affordable energy. #UpTheEnergy

East Lothian Greens have signed the #UpTheEnergy open letter calling on the UK Government and GB Energy to unlock and enable more community-owned energy.

*MP, we got excited 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤝🐝

Congratulations to Hannah Spencer, the newest Green MSP! 💚

Bring on the Scottish Parliament elections. #VoteGreen

Now there is hope! It's no longer a choice between grim and grimmer. We can vote for who we want and win. Anywhere.
It's just one constituency, but the Green victory in Gorton and Denton is an electric shock to our political system.

It’s in everybody’s interests to ensure good quality childcare is available, affordable and dependable. #VoteGreen to expand free childcare in Scotland in the next Parliament 🗳️💚🛝

Good to have some @edinburghgreens.bsky.social volunteers helping us today as well - @scottishgreens.org are always up for helping out their neighbours 😇

There can be no place for so-called conversion therapy in a modern or welcoming Scotland. It is a form of torture and it is wrong.

Nobody should be told that they are lesser or deviant or not good enough, or that they should suppress who they are, just because they are LGBTQIA+.

Great day speaking to voters around Dunbar high street yesterday. We need more MSPs who will speak up for Palestine and take action to tax the rich so we can tackle the cost of living and fund a just transition. #VoteGreen

Well done Mark Ruskell for getting the Greyhound Racing Offences Bill past the first stage!

Especially proud to be part of the Scottish Greens today. 💚
This will make a real positive difference to ordinary people's lives.

The myth that the BBC has a liberal bias is nothing more than pernicious propaganda to distract from the fact it’s been captured by right wing plants for a decade. Orwellian misinformation. We must restore the BBC to the most trusted news outlet in the world by culling it of malignant forces.

Gender affirming care saves lives. It’s time to listen to trans kids, scientists, and experts again. “Nothing about us without us.”

Hard to know where to begin when the headline is “Labour to frisk the pockets of asylum seekers and throw them out as soon as possible”. What on earth have that party become? Utterly shameful. A total failure to address the misdirecting rhetoric that led us here. Too cowardly to be fit to govern.

BREAKING 🚨: Over 68,000 people are being driven from their homes every single day by floods, drought, and heat they didn’t cause.

Entire communities erased while world leaders debate our lives.

This isn’t a crisis, it’s violence, and it's happening right now.

Carbon capture is a total greenwash anyway, can we just get the cash please?! (And independence too, obviously 🙄)

Everyone is welcome to come along, hear about our strategy and find out how you can get involved. You do NOT have to be a Scottish Green Party member. Hope to see you there! 😀

We're gearing up for next year's Scottish Parliament election! 🗳️

We want to get more Green MSPs elected so we can do more for people, climate and nature, and counter the hate from certain other political parties...

Interested in helping out? We're holding two 'Let's Get Started' meetings.

Hope wins. 👏🏻

Many people sitting around a long table, smiling at the camera. Two people are standing on the left.

Great session delivering Green News in Haddington today (with a nice coffee break).

As @tessakhan.bsky.social says about onshore wind that's owned by foreign-based multinationals: "Communities feel like that wealth is being extracted rather than starting with them. The policy rules to fix that are obvious."

Policy changes like these: communityenergy.scot/manifesto-fo...

5 people sit on a stage, with a low table in front. There are screens in the back that are green and say "Scottish Greens".

Good to hear WWF Director @langbanks.bsky.social and @ross-greer.bsky.social MSP talking about how we need *more community and public ownership of energy*, at the @scottishgreens.org conference.

With @tessakhan.bsky.social from Uplift and @gillianmacmsp.bsky.social MSP.

Feeling proud to be a Scottish Green, at our biggest conference in a decade.

As @ross-greer.bsky.social said - We are the party of HOPE.

Powerful speeches from our new Co-Leaders.

We have a Scotland to win and a green future to build. @gillianmacmsp.bsky.social

Lots of stories about Nathan Gill and Russian bribes.

Maybe there's something in this Nigel Farage and Nathan Gill Russian bribes story....
