The monarchy is an undemocratic, antiquated relic that serves no useful purpose in the 21st century.

An unaccountable billionaire family bankrolled by the public purse.

To become a fairer country it’s time to finally abolish the monarchy.

Prince Andrew proves the Monarchy should be abolished, claims Patrick Harvie

King Charles has stripped his younger brother of his Royal titles following more embarrassing revelations over the prince's friendship with late US paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Stephen Flynn has called on Labour to strip Prince Andrew of his dukedom

🗣️ 'If an Act of Parliament is required to strip the likes of Peter Mandelson and Prince Andrew of their titles, then there can be no justification from this Labour Government as to why that is not immediately happening'

Stephen Flynn urges Labour to strip dukedom from Prince Andrew

Crazy that we hear about Train Drivers who get £60,000 a year for driving a train.

But we never hear about the boss of Tesco who gets £30,000 a day and doesn't even pay tax in the UK.

Or the £250m a day that the likes of Amazon, Vodafone, BP and Shell don't pay in tax.

There is more than enough wealth in this country to end poverty and fund our NHS.

Communities have been punished by decades of Tory and Labour cuts, whilst the super-rich have hoarded Scotland's wealth.

Funnily enough- ex Green MSP Andy Wightman is an expert in the needs of land reform. The Green Party lost their way with this. Time to get the experts back on board.

Far too much of Scotland's land is hoarded by a small group of the extremely rich.

But we can change that.

Scottish Greens are working to strengthen the upcoming Land Reform Bill to boost community ownership and put Scotland’s land in Scotland’s hands.

Scotland top our group in the World Cup qualifiers, with all games live on free-to-view TV thanks to a fan-backed campaign. 🙌

Football is for all of us. After these qualifiers our national games must remain free-to-view, not hidden behind a paywall.

The table for Scotland's World Cup qualifying group. Scotland 10, Denmark 7, Greece 3, Belarus 0. Denmark and Greece have a game in hand.

2026 is not 2011. Not only is the cast different, but instead of a PM who expected victory in a referendum, we have one who constantly says there will not be another. Time to ditch the begging bowl.

Teesside’s freeport, initiated in 2021 under Rishi Sunak, has cost £560 million far exceeding the standard £25 million allocation (22 times the standard £25m).
90% profits go to the private sector.
This clearly shows the UK model of State aid post-Brexit is utterly corrupt.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

Opponents of Scottish Indy are going to organise tactical voting for May's GE2026. It is vital - *VITAL* - that we have as big a pro-indy turnout on the day, and that the list vote optimises pro-indy MSPs.
