🧵Scotland head to the polls in just over two weeks. Here are what all the parties are saying they will do to tackle the climate crisis (or in the case of the Tories and Reform, completely ignore it). On the 7th of May, vote like the planet depends on it (because it does!)

Reform UK wants you to believe they are against the political establishment. In reality, they are packed full of the same Tories that caused the issues they want to "solve". Reform UK won't fix this country - they will destroy it. [Source: @Brad_Stephen0 on X]

🌍Today people around the world will turn off their lights and electricity for one hour. Take part by going dark between 8:30pm and 9:30pm ⚡Switch off tonight. Act for the planet every day. #EarthHour #ClimateAction #ClimateJustice #ProtectOurPlanet #Scotland

I think we've seen this all before… Reform UK is backed by the same billionaires, ex-Tory politicians, and oil and gas giants that have profited from the climate crisis for years, whilst working people suffer the consequences. A thread ⬇️ 🧵

Expert says, "a ‘drill baby drill’ approach to extraction would actually cost households more money versus continuing on our path to clean energy.” Reform UK only wants what is best for their billionaire friends NOT working people.

Reform UK are not on your side. Here's why. #climateaction #reformuk #scotland #hopenothate #holyrood

Reform UK is backed by the same millionaires, ex-Tories and fossil fuel giants that have blocked climate action for years. You can’t fix a broken system by handing it to the people who benefit from keeping it broken. Let’s stand together for a better future. #climateaction

Very excited to have my first published byline in a magazine and even happier it is in @Somewhere_ForUs. A beautiful Scottish LGBTQ+ magazine packed full of amazing queer stories. You can grab a copy of it their autumn 2024 issue here: somewhereforus.org/product-page/i…
