🚨Yesterday, Israeli forces targeted tents sheltering displaced people in the so-called “safe zone” of Al Mawasi, reportedly killing 21 people including 13 women.

This is the second attack on the “safe zone” since Sunday, with no meaningful action taken to prevent attacks. (1/6)

The suspicious disappearance of a hen harrier in the Angus Glens, much of which is intensively managed for grouse shooting, needs to be taken seriously.

The Scottish Government response to my questions is less than satisfactory. I'll keep pressing for action.

This would be reckless in the extreme.

The science is clear that we must rapidly transition away from fossil fuels. We need to listen to it.

Glasgow emergency rally for Rafah - and all of Palestine - turns into a demonstration. We will not stop until there is justice: genocide should be a red line for all.

Direct artillery shelling of residential homes in Rafah last night

Israel is a terrorist state

The ICJ ruling must be enforced now
Boycott now
Arms embargo now
Sanctions now
Arrest warrants now

Sunak & Starmer support Netanyahu

Never forgive them.

We are at a crucial point in terms of introducing my bill and ending the terrible harassment we have seen outside abortion service providers all across our country.

Stage 2 starts today and will see the Committee considering and voting on amendments from across the Chamber.

That's a very good question. I have asked the Scottish Government if they have had a discussion with ScotRail on this issue.

Hourly trains were promised from Inverness and Elgin to Aberdeen 15 years ago: What happened to them? buff.ly/4cdpXVx

📊93% of North Sea oil is exported.

📉The fossil fuel industry is in decline.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Scotland's workers need a Just Transition, which would create thousands of well-paid jobs and opportunities in cleaner, greener industries.

Costa Rica, once home to rampant logging, has now almost doubled the size of its rainforest. They turned it all around within a generation. It can be done.

Protect people and the planet.

Reforming income tax in the rest of the UK to replicate the Scottish system (delivered by Scottish Greens) would raise enough to scrap the two-child limit & rape clause 8 times. Remember that the next time Labour refuse to lift children out of poverty because of 'affordability'

There is no other way to say this: the (lack of) reaction to the scenes of sheer carnage, burned refugee bodies, and decapitated babies coming out of Rafah tonight from the U.S. political and media establishments is nothing other than the normalizing, the banalizing, of genocide.

We need to now 🧵

Prosecutions for crimes of abortion have happened in Scotland this century. Scottish abortion law is outdated & antiquated & these laws have no place in modern Scotland.

Back in 2021, I was still a Labour member. To help clarify my thoughts about leaving the party, I listed 30 reasons I could no longer vote Labour. Since then, Starmer and the rest have done countless other appalling things, but to jog your memory here are those 30 [thread]
