Reform UK councillors have introduced a motion to rescind King's Lynn and West Norfolk's climate emergency declaration and deprioritise decarbonisation efforts The council were going to vote on it on Thursday But the meeting has been postponed due to extreme heat
Scotland is facing a wave of applications for hyperscale data centres. If the 24 announced so far were approved they'd take up more than 1.5 times Scotland's peak demand in electricity. We need an immediate pause until a clear national strategy is set out. 👉 greens.scot/datacentres
Hyperscale data centres threaten huge local damage, consume vast amounts of electricity and undermine decades of work to decarbonise Scotland. And all to enrich some of the world's least responsible corporate giants. Join us in calling for a halt to these developments. greens.scot/datacentres

Anas Sarwar to the SNP this afternoon: If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear Every Labour MSP then voted against the Green proposal for a review covering the finances of ALL political parties (it passed anyway). Do Team🥀 have something to hide/fear?
First week of parliament business and we’re already delivering Scottish Green manifesto commitments 💚🙌

I’m pleased to support the campaign to end conversion therapy in Scotland. This should have been outlawed years ago in Scotland - a vote for the @scottishgreens.org tomorrow will keep this high on the agenda in the next parliament

🏴 Ahead of tomorrow’s Scottish election, we’ve looked at what party manifestos mean for a just transition - and there's a clear divide. The choices on offer will shape not just whether Scotland transitions, but what kind of economy emerges in the process. 🔽 www.futureeconomy.scot/publications...
🚨 NEW POLL! 👉 Vote Scottish Greens 🛑 Stop Reform 🟢 Build a fairer, greener, kinder Scotland Don't leave it to chance.
The final poll of the campaign shows us getting a record result for the Scottish Greens, and beating both Labour and the Tories But it will only happen if people get out to vote! Polls open at 7am, take your mum, your neighbour, your work colleagues - make sure everyone you know is voting tomorrow

No family should have to jump through hoops to get funded childcare. We’ll tax wealth fairly to make sure every kid in Scotland gets funded hours from 6 months up - no means testing, no tax-free top ups, just high quality education for all
Scottish Greens@scottishgreens.org · 3mo agoEarly years education is a fundamental good for families and for societies. We would provide: 🟢 570 hours of funded childcare for every child aged 6 months to 2 years 🟢 1140 hours for all 2 year olds Let's demand better. Vote Scottish Greens.

When we invest in childcare we're investing in parents and children, and in building a society where families can flourish. Scottish Greens would provide: 🟢 570 hours of funded childcare for every child aged 6 months to 2 years 🟢 1140 hours for all 2 year olds
These are the kind of boats I want to stop coming into our country
Scottish Greens@scottishgreens.org · 3mo agoIt's time we taxed the super-rich fairly and built an affordable country for everyone. It's time we put people and planet, not corporate profit, at the heart of Scottish politics. Let's demand better. Vote Scottish Greens.

The demand for 'consensus' comes from parties who know the Council Tax is horrendously unfair, but who don't want to do anything about it and need someone else to blame. The @scottishgreens.org are the only party to set out plans to scrap and replace CT in our manifesto.
Chris Birt@cdbirt.bsky.social · 4mo agoThere does not need to be consensus to reform council tax, there won’t be. Because reforming it has to include removing the bias towards better off households. That’s what needs to change. No reform will deliver no one who pays more. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Your landlord is voting. Your boss is voting. Make sure you vote as well. No matter where you live in Scotland, you can vote Scottish Greens on the peach ballot paper. 👉 www.gov.uk/register-to-vote.
By hoping that the super-rich just won't claim the tax rebates on offer, the Tories are relying on the assumption that multi-millionaires are all selfless people who will pay more tax by choice. And they'd cut the household incomes of children in poverty to pay for it. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Tax rebate not intended for millionaire pensioners, Findlay says
The Scottish Tories say they will give £500 to pensioners - but the party's leader says he hopes millionaires will not apply.

Yes, we have a problem with immigration in Scotland - we don’t have *enough* people coming to Scotland to keep our hospitals, our restaurants or our rural communities going Only the Scottish Greens are fighting for a truly welcoming Scotland at this election
Scottish Greens@scottishgreens.org · 4mo agoThe fact the Labour Party, Tories and Reform all have specific policies to make it harder to come here and be a social care worker is absolutely disgraceful when this country is going through a social care crisis. #bbcdn
