Are you wondering what exactly a green councillor could and would do for you and your ward/area?
A Scottish Green Councillor would put you and your neighbours first, fighting for fair and affordable rent and housing and Ensuring our parks and streets stay clean and safe.

Stop calling it a climate problem.
Call it what it is: organized greed.
The planet isn’t dying. It’s being killed for profit.
The killers have names. And boardrooms.

New oil and gas licences:
➡️ will not take a penny off bills
➡️ cannot make us energy secure
➡️ will only accelerate the worsening climate crisis
Words straight from Labour's 2024 manifesto.
So why are they now preparing to approve the Jackdaw and Rosebank developments?

The issue with any growth associated with AI, beyond the ethical issues with AI itself, is that it is not growth in the economy of the workers, renters or families.
It is growth only for those at the top, whilst the rest of us are squeezed tighter into the corners

Unite represents a massive cohort of workers across oil and gas, an industry in an inevitable decline.
Instead of supporting the growth of new renewable industries, and helping ensure they deliver for our workers, they have decided to demand the workers go down with the sinking ship.

Sharon Graham embodies an inescapable conservative core of the mainstream trade union movement.
Obviously Miliband isn't actually going to do anything particularly radical but the merest whiff of a policy that might constrain industry's planet-killing excesses is treated as an existential threat.

In 2022 we delivered free bus travel for everyone under the age of 22.
Today it was announced that over 300 million journeys have been taken under the scheme!
Now it's time to go further.
Making bus travel free for all would help us build a fairer, greener Scotland.

We later found out that no work had started on this proposal.
