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 election of Mamdani, the victory of Catherine Connolly in Ireland, and the huge growth of the Green movement with Zack Polanski in England and Wales and record polling for it here in Scotland, there is a clear desire for change.

Governments have failed to tackle the climate emergency because they are scared to stand up to the rich and powerful.
our climate is in crisis🔥

it's time for action!🌎

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.

Everyone should have an affordable place to call home, but in many communities with high rents, a shocking number of landlords are hoarding property.

More action on recycling, fly tipping and litter was approved by councillors yesterday worth £2.5 million, including recent proposals that I put forward backed by the SNP that responded directly to your concerns. See thread @scottishgreens.org @gillianmacmsp.bsky.social @southlangreens.bsky.social

Public ownership works 🙌

Scotland needs cheap, reliable bus services that connect our communities.

£46 for a ticket less than 2 weeks before Christmas.

£148 for a family of 4 before you've paid for travel or food.

Polling shows that 7 in 10 football fans believe they are being priced out of the game.

We need to stop exploiting loyalty. We need a price cap!

Zohran Mamdani has built a people-powered movement of hope, the likes of which hasn’t been seen in the US for decades.

There is a global movement for hope in these times of political darkness. Join us as we put that hope back into Scotland, our time is now ⤵️

Glad to say that the Scottish Government has agreed to work with me to end the absurd loophole allowing shooting estates owned by billionaires and tax avoiders to get a 100% tax break as 'small businesses'

Good Morning New Yorkers! 😀

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social built a movement from scratch, focusing on improving people's lives, on inequality and empowering communities.

Against a smear campaign from most sinister and powerful people in America he came out on top.

Our planet is on fire, and workers are being hit hard by the cost of living, but the super-rich couldn't care less.

BP pocketed £1.7 billion in profit, whilst our energy bills are rising and climate chaos intensifies.

It's time for climate action, it's time to tax the rich!

The US Ambassador to the UK has urged the UK to expand drilling operations in the North Sea.
