Greens are demanding that next year’s Scottish Budget properly funds Councils to provide funded childcare hours from the Monday after a child turns three.

This is a simple fix that will save young families money and support local services.

This is an incredibly weak response from the EU, and a dangerous position to take.

Maduro's legitimacy is not the issue at hand. The US is acting as a rogue state, and will embolden other states to use unchecked military power for their own ends.

We need international law, not gangsterism.
I have spoken with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and our Ambassador in Caracas. The EU is closely monitoring the situation in Venezuela.

The EU has repeatedly stated that Mr Maduro lacks legitimacy and has defended a peaceful transition. (1/2)

The unprovoked and deadly invasion of another country while its citizens sleep should appal all of us.

The fact that Venezuela has some of the world’s largest oil reserves makes this feel very familiar.

Childcare is extortionate, and the current government offering is leaving families struggling.

Greens are campaigning to deliver free child care to all children from the day they turn three years old to support families.

Trump's illegal invasion and occupation of Venezuela must end.

We stand in full solidarity with the people of Venezuela. This kind of blatant US imperialism cannot be allowed to stand.

Perhaps now people will stop wishcasting about the US military refusing illegal orders. That's not a thing that happens. The 100% compliance rate with using civilian boats for target practice was a bit of a tell.

If Mexico, who border the mad colossus that is the United States, can unequivocally condemn this as an action of aggression then the EU, sheltered by the Atlantic, can do the same and not offer this subservient drivel.
Following very closely the situation in Venezuela.

We stand by the people of Venezuela and support a peaceful and democratic transition.

Any solution must respect international law and the UN Charter.

i actually wish I could summon up some disappointment, but let's face it, a pathetic capitulation was absolutely inevitable and we all knew it.
Starmer asked to respond to Trump breaking international law and seizing the leader of another sovereign nation replies that it is his "responsibility" to have a good relationship with the US President.

"I have stepped up that responsibility [and] I do get on with President Trump," he tells the BBC

Never in my lifetime has there been such a gaping moral void at the heart of this state than right now. What a grim world we're now in.

🐦‍⬛Greens secure ‘swift bricks’ on new buildings!

💚This is a great day for Scotland’s birds.

I am delighted that MSPs from across different parties have backed this small and simple step for nature.

It is unfortunate that the UK government has opposed similar moves in England.
Swifts are in serious decline, with their UK population falling by 66% since 1995.

Moments ago MSPs backed our amendment to install low cost swift nesting bricks in new buildings.

This small act will make our communities more liveable for birds and help swifts recover.
