How can we trust Scottish Labour to take buses into public control, when they take £100ks from private owners hell bent on stopping it? 🤔

🖊️Staff, students, and constituents across Edinburgh have written to me their concerns about the continued ties the University holds with Israel, and the repeated reluctance to divest.
This week I wrote to Peter Mathieson to ask what the University is doing to support all involved.

Each day they seem to wear their hatred and fear of women in ever brighter colours - why don’t they just say “some women do not obey and they must face the consequences”

Tomorrow, Nigel Farage hand-picks Reform's Scottish leader.
If he can't trust his members to lead his party or select their MSPs, why should Scots trust Reform? 🏴
Folk want MSPs to stand up for them, not ex-Tory puppets in Parliament controlled by Farage ❌

If you think the problem in our moment is civility, is people being mean on the internet - as the president tramples the law, threatens our allies, makes war without Congress, invades our cities with murderous goons - you are a very great fool.

Scottish Green MSPs have used budget negotiations to deliver free bus travel for young people, scrap peak rail fares, fund nature restoration, expand free school meals and more.

Reform are driving hate and division in our communities.
We can't allow that to happen.
Life has become much harder for many folks across Scotland.
But the scapegoating and false promises from a millionaire-backed party will change nothing for the better.

We need more monitoring and sewage works upgrades to keep our river clean and swimmers safe.

Thousands of Scots will be dipping into waters today for a New Year's dook.
But in just 12 months, a reported 30 million litres of raw sewage were dumped into our lochs, rivers, and seas.
We're calling for urgent investment to tackle water pollution and clean Scotland's waters.
