A new poll has shown overwhelming support for rent controls in Scotland. Earlier this year Scottish Green MSPs introduced legislation to make rent controls a reality. The Scottish Parliament must back these plans and ensure they're fully implemented.

The SNP is paying lip service to the climate emergency, whilst funding handouts to big business. With global temperatures rising, Scotland must be a climate leader but SNP have chosen to slash spending on climate action and increase costs for commuters. greens.scot/news/snp-cuts-…

The impact of government cuts, u-turns and rollbacks will be devastating. We're now seeing schemes, key to supporting ordinary Scots, being cut. We can, and should, do better than the blame game. Ellie Gomersall 🍉's latest in The National: thenational.scot/news/24558265.…

Keir Starmer just straight up refused to punish his landlord MP. But Zarah Sultana is still without the Labour whip for voting to reduce child poverty.

Today, the Minister for Public Health and Women’s Health gave an update on children and young people’s gender identity services. You can read what she said in full here: gov.scot/news/gender-id…

We are disappointed to see no firm commitment to a timeline for legislating on Conversion Practices in Scotland in today’s Programme for Government.

We got the government to recommit to rent controls.🎉 This is a huge relief for tenants - but now we need to make sure that the Housing Bill works for tenants. The landlord lobby will be fighting all they can to water them down as much as possible. We can’t let them. Join us.

A commitment to ending conversion practices should be a commitment to creating meaningful legislation & getting it done. Today's Programme for Government was a sad day for equalities. Below I have urged the First Minister to reconsider this decision, and implement the ban.

ScotGov has quite explicitly dropped a Scotland-specific conversion therapy ban - relying on Westminster will only cause further delays and risk weakening the ban. They've had years to act and have chosen not to. I really hope OFI aren't going the way of LGBT Labour...

we live in the ridiculous situation where nationalist leaders of both Scotland and the North of Ireland have decided to meekly accept the British government's disastrous framing of queer rights where has your courage in forming a different path from Westminster gone?

Let's also not forget that all the trauma that came about from the GRR fiasco would never have happened if the SNP had got on and done it when they first promised. Queer Scots are already hurt by the SNP kicking our rights down the road - it's no wonder we're worried & angry now

🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨 Charity for Disabled children funnelling over 40% of its funds to right-wing think-tanks. Utterly shocking - an example of what happens when disability organisations aren't run by us, for us, with lived-experience at the forefront. goodlawproject.org/disabled-child…

Breaking a promise to the starving school kids of Scotland is unforgivable.

The Scottish Government can't possibly claim to be serious about eradicating child poverty then fail to use every single lever in their power to do so, & with urgency. That is not commitment. That is political cowardice. That is a political choice.

This week, yet more climate records tumbled. This week, Scottish Government introduced a new Climate Bill that's only needed because we're years behind where we should be on emission cuts. This week, Scottish Government also cut Net Zero funding while protecting roadbuilding.

Let's be clear that social media isn't the only problem. Here's a right wing pundit who's regularly platformed across print & broadcast, demanding the right to doxx the places asylum seekers live, weeks after racist mobs tried to burn them out. Fascism is mainstream in UK media.
