The latest from Reform's speaker at the Nazi rally: 'I saw nobody even remotely resembling a Nazi.' Did Cllr Dempsey put a blindfold on before sharing a stage with extremists who have openly praised Hitler? If Reform don't like being associated with Nazis, they should stop associating with Nazis.
Scotland stands with Palestine 🏴💚🇵🇸 Today I caught up with my friend Husam Zomlot, Palestinian ambassador to the UK. We discussed the need to uphold international law and take action against the UK companies, 'charities' & individuals complicit in Israel's illegal occupation of Palestine.

Another Labour election loser whose principles melt away at the first chance of a job for life without any pesky voters to worry about.
Pride is a protest. This year that was doubly the case, with 'Glasgow's Pride Ltd' continuing to work with and accept sponsorship by companies directly complicit in Israel's crimes in Palestine. So we spent our afternoon with the No Pride In Genocide sit-in/picnic in the park 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🏴🇵🇸💚
In May-June almost 3,000 people's deaths in England & Wales were linked to the heatwave. Meanwhile at Westminster...
For all the (often cynical and opportunistic) criticism of Scotland's Curriculum for Excellence, we are typically amongst the top OECD nations for these global competencies. It's an under-celebrated success, but one that will come under new strain in the era of AI LLMs. www.gov.scot/publications...
And honouring Lobga Rangzen's last wishes, we celebrated the 91st birthday of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama 🙏
Our vigil in Glasgow this evening, remembering and celebrating the lives of Lobga Rangzen and Lam Wing-kee, passionate defenders of the rights of Tibetans and Hong Kongers in the face of CCP oppression. @tibetsolidarity.bsky.social @freetibet.org @savetibet.bsky.social

Heading back down to Parliament after another lovely couple of days in Aberdeen to support @jorgse.bsky.social and @ch1453.bsky.social, our Aberdeen South and George St/Harbour by-election candidates. Lots of appreciation for the @scottishgreens.org work to expand free bus travel in particular!

Another lovely #ArranPride - the rain even waited until the march was over! 🏳️🌈💚🏳️⚧️
Lovely day trip to support Aberdeen Greens and our candidate Jorg ahead of the Aberdeen South by-election 💚☀️ (I'm intrigued by the one guy who accused us of manufacturing bioweapons and committing treason though. We barely have enough time to do our actual jobs 🤔)
Scotland's Parliament has voted for a referendum on independence. A majority of MSPs elected last month stood on pro-independence manifestos and we are fulfilling our commitment to the public. If the UK is a voluntary, democratic union, this is Westminster's chance to prove it.
Fifty minutes left to vote! The @scottishgreens.org will deliver free bus travel for all, fix Scotland's broken & unaffordable childcare system and take action to tackle the climate crisis. Let's demand better for Scotland - Vote Scottish Greens on your regional (peach) ballot!
Polls are open! There's just 1% between the @scottishgreens.org and Reform UK - use your regional (peach coloured) ballot to stop Farage & Offord in their tracks AND to ensure a pro-independence majority. Let's demand better - Vote Scottish Greens 💚🏴🗳️
What an incredible bunch of volunteers and candidates to spend election-eve with! Today's Yougov, Ipsos and Survation polls all showed record high results for the @scottishgreens.org, but Reform were still marginally ahead. Make sure hope wins over hate tomorrow folks, vote Scottish Greens!
🚨 I'm jumping on Instagram Live with @gillianmackaygreen.bsky.social at 9pm for a quick recap of the campaign and a chat about what's at stake tomorrow.
After a good chat about serious stuff like raising the school starting age & introducing a 3-6 kindergarten stage, Sky News asked me the most important question of all - have Morgan McSweeney and I ever been in the same room at the same time?
🚨 The final poll of the campaign has the @scottishgreens.org surge to just 1% behind Reform UK! Vote Scottish Greens with your regional (peach coloured) ballot tomorrow to secure that pro-independence majority and stop Reform from becoming the largest opposition party 💚🗳️✊
🚨Final Yougov poll of the campaign has the @scottishgreens.org surging from 8 to 16 MSPs! Your Scottish Green vote on that regional (peach coloured) ballot can put us head of Reform and guarantee the pro-independence majority 💚🗳️🏴
Three campaign sessions ✅ Two media interviews ✅ One photocall ✅ It's definitely the last week of an election campaign! If you're a @scottishgreens.org member or supporter, make sure hope wins over hate on Thursday - get involved in your branch's final campaign sessions 💚✊
A lovely afternoon with @markruskell.bsky.social and Stirling Greens! Lots of people determined to stop Reform - and they know voting @scottishgreens.org on their regional (peach) ballot is the best way to do it in areas like this! 💚🗳️✊
I've been all over Glasgow today! So many people here are excited to vote for a fairer, greener & kinder Scotland 💚✊🗳️ In Glasgow and plenty of other regions the last seat may well come down to the @scottishgreens.org or Reform, so make sure to vote Green on your peach ballot!
