Any rollback from a presumption against oil & gas would be reckless. It would send the wrong message and signal a return to the failed policies of the past. All governments have a responsibility to move away from fossil fuels, including Scotland.

The cynical reliance on international students as cash cows was never going to work, especially with the backdrop of Brexit. The University of Aberdeen must work with students, staff, and trade unions to ensure any recovery plan is fair for all.

🇵🇸The UK Government must follow Norway, Ireland and Spain in recognising Palestine as an independent nation. The refusal to recognise Palestine by the US & UK has been used to undermine Palestinians and their efforts to achieve liberation and a lasting peace.

On behalf of the @scottishgreens , I welcome the Post Office (Horizon System) Offences (Scotland) Bill and recognise its urgency. It is clear that the convictions discussed today are miscarriages of justice, and should be quashed. All victims and survivors must have justice.

The latest Yougov poll shows Scottish Greens on track to win a record 12 MSPs at the next election! We can't afford a retreat on climate action. It's never been more important to have Scottish Greens in Parliament. 🌍

As the ICC prosecutors request warrants to arrest the leaders of Hamas and Israel for war crimes and crimes against humanity, the UK Govt must now stop selling arms to Israel that could be part of these crimes. If not, it makes us all complicit.

While households and families struggle, 350 people own more than £795 billion. A 1% annual wealth tax on net assets over £10 million, the richest 0.4% of the population, could raise almost £10 billion a year for essential services. 💰

This week, I have been inspired & motivated by students demanding universities #Divest from companies that profit from genocide, those who support disabled people into work, & those campaigning for justice for Post Office Horizon scandal victims. A few snippets from my week:

Scotland has extraordinary access to renewable resources. We must be investing in these reources as we build for the future. Labour must rule out backing Tory plans for an expensive nuclear reactor in Scotland that would only leave behind a toxic legacy for future generations.
