Great progress in weeks since Scottish Greens Alasdair Tollemache took over leadership of transport at Stirling Council including piloting two new rural bus services (C61/62) and new Eastern Villages service planned ππ
Itβs time for McGills to go β
The idea the North Sea is some great goldmine waiting to be tapped is entirely at odds with reality.

It's clear this is an illegal war. There's not much left to consider.

Screenshot with the words: Ms Mahmood told an event in Westminster on Thursday that the Home Office will launch a consultation on how to remove families with children legally, including considering how force can be used against children. If the pilot is successful, the government will extend it to all failed asylum seeker families.
"Children may be forcibly removed...in handcuffs..."
Appalling from the Home Secretary. UK Labour has learnt nothing from the embarrassing defeat in Gorton & Denton.
Pandering to the right does not work. It only makes life worse for everyone.
Abolish the Home Office!

More money in your pocket, and a cleaner environment for everyone. π
While we're hitched to the roller coaster of gas prices, we can never overcome the cost of living crisis.
When we're in control of our own clean energy generation, that is proper energy security.

Scotland must always remain a safe, welcoming country for migrants and refugees.

Keeping Scotlandβs water in public hands has been the best thing. Not perfect, but accountability and reinvestment rather than shareholder profit is key.
Handouts to oil and gas firms while people face likely bill hikes.
Reckless and irresponsible at a time when we should be doubling down on renewables not cutting tax to fossil fuel fuel giants.
We need a plan to protect people from the coming price shock.
A fairer, greener Scotland is within reach.
Help us make it a reality on 7th May. π

Communication from SEPA has been poor and there was a 16 hour delay from initial reporting through to action - not good enough β
Great public meeting in Cupar last night to Save Elmwood College.
Brilliant ideas from community about how education can be delivered locally with partners, but @SRUC need to be open and collaborative.
The Principal not bothering to turn up was a very bad decision.
Sensational win! Now for #Holyrood26 ππ

Scottish Greens will deliver free bus travel for everyone. Vote Scottish Greens on 7 May.
Four years ago we delivered free bus travel for everyone under the age of 22.
Now it's time to go further.
We're committing to deliver free bus travel for everyone in Scotland - on a bus network that has been brought back under public control. π
The Scot Govt have agreed to new Β£ for skills support for workers to be rolled out this month. π§βπ
This is great news.
But now more than ever, we need to see UK Govt step up and bring cash to the table to secure a just transition for Mossmorran. π

Very pleased that in response to our Scottish Greens debate on the #Mossmorran closure today, the Scottish Government has announced immediate funding to support workers in retraining and job supportπ₯
It's time to evict Trump's troops from Scotland.
No foreign military which has shown a total disregard for Scottish & international law should be using our publicly-owned infrastructure.
Scotland must not be complicit in his crimes.
πTake action - greens.scot/TrumpsTroops...
The US military is regularly using publicly-owned Scottish infrastructure to conduct operations, including threats against our neighbours in Greenland.
We urge MSPs of all parties to back our motion to end US military operations and evict Trump's troops.
