Despite a few setbacks we managed to get loads of Green News copies out in Linlithgow yesterday. The 2027 #LocalElections seem like a long way off but it will fly by. Let's go @westlothiansgp.bsky.social!

Don't personally have a lot of regional engagement experience (yet) but I know people who do.
I have two more exciting roles in my office: 📣 Regional Engagement, Campaigns and Communications Lead – focusing on supporting communities across Edinburgh and Lothians East ✊️ Parliamentary Policy and Research Lead – focusing on my portfolio of Equalities and International Development
I know a lot of people are uncomfortable knocking on strangers' doors but there is so much more you can do if you want to get involved in campaigning. We need people doing data entry, research, planning routes etc. Even just coming along socials to get to know everyone.
A great weekend of action across Edinburgh! Thanks to everyone who spoke to us about our positive vision for a fairer, greener Edinburgh. On September 3rd, let's demand better - vote Scottish Greens #1 in Southside/Newington and Portobello/Craigmillar.
Went out canvassing for East Edinburgh Greens for the byelection in Portobello today. Four of us from @westlothiansgp.bsky.social came along for this one. Lorenzo is a great candidate and it was lovely to meet team. Lots of positives on the doorsteps too.
👨🦽➡️ July is Disability Pride Month - some might say "Why are you so proud of being disabled?" My lived experience has taught me resilience, empathy, justice and strength. It has also made me stubborn and ready to call out against what's wrong in the world. There should be nothing about us without us.
Today’s the deadline for objections to the 600MW AI data centre in Auchtertool. There’s still time to tell Fife Council to block the proposals: greens.scot/stopfifeaida...

Well done Wales for being the first parliament to try to stop lying politicians! Only one member of the Senedd in Wales voted against a law to make it illegal for candidates to lie during Senedd elections. Have a guess which party that member represents? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Almost 5,000 people have joined our call for a halt to new hyperscale data centres in Scotland. Have you? The 24 applications in so far would require 1.5 times as much energy as all of Scotland uses at peak demand. We can't let this free-for-all continue. greens.scot/datacentres

The right wing media do its best to portray me as something that I'm not, much of which has racist undertones. The Daily mail have now apologised to me. More apologies to come...

"The Greens don't have a plan" would sound a lot more convincing if it didn't come from the same guy who just six weeks ago said on *the same show*, quote, "you shouldn't prepare for a hypothetical."

I'll be out canvassing for the first time ever this weekend. Knocking on stranger's doors is slightly scary but not as scary as Reform. If you are a member please consider volunteering as it's going to make a huge difference (same goes for England & Wales party members). #HopeNotHate
We'll be out knocking doors again this weekend to get Lorna, Kate and Q elected! 🚪✊💚 Come along and join the campaign for an opportunity to speak with folks about how we are bringing hope back to Holyrood! Details and any updates will be in our events calendar: edinburgh.greens.scot/events-calen...
