With less than 200 days to go until next May’s election, we will be working to earn trust, build a movement for change and restore some of the hope that so many have lost.
Next year we will present our boldest manifesto to date, and credible plans to turn it into action. I want people in Scotland to feel the same optimism that many in New York have felt this week, writes Gillian Mackay ✍️

The science is clear.
If we are to have any hope of preventing total climate breakdown, there can be no new oil and gas fields.

Rent freeze? Free bus travel? Cutting the cost of living and taxing the super rich?
If some of this sounds familiar, that's no surprise. If you want more of it in Scotland, join the party that's been making it happen.
