🌳Tree planting and greenspaces should be a requirement for developers. If we are serious about improving public health, tackling the climate crisis and building better places to live, then this is a simple, practical step that we cannot afford to ignore. #VoteScottishGreens

I had the privilege of serving as one of the first Green ministers anywhere in the UK, a milestone not just for our party, but for the wider green movement. It showed that Green politics is not just about protest, it is about delivery.

The cruise ship levy was part of a range of Green proposals that introduce tourist taxes to help alleviate the impact of tourism on local communities. I know that Edinburgh (and Leith especially!) can feel the strain from ships docked in the area 🚢 greens.scot/news/two-third…

These revelations show the rotten boys’ club culture of entitlement, cronyism and cover-up that still sits at the heart of Westminster politics 🙄 greens.scot/news/starmers-…

Assisted dying does not replace the need for good medical and palliative care; everyone deserves excellent end-of-life care. It is about recognising that in some cases, even the very best care cannot remove every form of suffering 🫂edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/opinion/c…

Reform's leader drumming up hate against asylum seekers and refugees. His party are not the protectors of women and girls - they are the danger. #BBCDN

🌎Conflicts disrupt ecosystems, deplete natural resources, pollute the environment, and jeopardize the health of our planet for generations to come. Trump is a war criminal and intent on climate disaster.
