Green MSP Gillian Mackay launches leadership bid to 'deliver fantastic things for Scotland' dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/…

I’ve shown that I can deliver on the causes that I champion and bring people together behind them. I believe I’m the person that can not only take the Scottish Greens further and deliver great election results, but deliver fantastic things for Scotland and our communities.

Todays' anti migration statements by The Labour Party will hammer Scotland’s care service. Gillian Mackay MSP stated "There have been warnings of staff shortages from the care sector and others, and these policies will only make them more severe." greens.scot/news/labour-s-…

Nigel Farage just has to say ‘jump’ and Labour will ask how high. This is a cruel and totally self-defeating approach that will only serve to hammer Scotland’s services.

The Leader of the Opposition in Canada has an official residence and it's called "Stornoway"

Rents are skyrocketing across Scotland. Greens have lodged proposals to cap rent increases, protect renters from evictions, and create new tenants' rights. 📊78% of Scots back our proposals to end rip-off rents!

A wee personal update, on advice of my doctor I'll be finishing earlier than expected for mat leave my final day in Parliament is 22nd of May. My team will still be dealing with casework and local issues in my absence and colleagues will be taking on various bits of my portfolio.

The UK is one of the wealthiest countries in history. But that wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few, where it's used to buy yachts and private jets instead of building up public services. A 1% wealth tax on net assets over £10m could raise £10 billion a year.

The UN has warned that 14,000 babies in Gaza could die in the next 48 hours. Stop arming Israel, now!

The UK continues to sell Israel weapons and provide it with active military support. Last week a Labour minister attended a party in the heart of London where she gave a speech celebrating their complicity in war crimes.

50 families now hold more wealth than 34 million people. Billionaires have seen their average wealth skyrocket by 1,000% since 1990. It's time to tax the super rich.

New research by Living Rent shows almost 100,000 homes in Scotland do not meet the Tolerable Standard - a sixfold increase on five years ago. Renters are having to live in appalling, unhealthy conditions while their landlords are profiting off their misery.

Today's report is clear that we can still meet our 2045 net zero targets. But with the SNP backtracking on climate action, we've fallen years behind. We need investment in reliable public transport, warmer, better insulated homes, and our iconic landscapes and biodiversity.

Net zero is booming in Scotland. Having grown 20% since 2022, it's now providing over 100,000 jobs and makes up nearly 5% of the economy. All while helping us lower climate emissions. Net zero's not just environmentally necessary, it represents a huge economic opportunity.
