The extraordinary courage of activists in groups like Standing Together, comprised of Jewish and Palestinian citizens in Israel working jointly for peace and equality, should be an inspiration to us...

Today I reintroduced the Hillsborough Law to Parliament. The Prime Minister promised enacting this legislation would be one of his first acts in office. A year on, he still hasn’t done it. I’m showing him that it’s here and ready to go. It just needs political will.

We're committed to sharing power and ownership - and when it comes to green energy, we mean that literally. Here's 5 ways Community Energy shares power. 🧵

Duplicitous nonsense. Your government has decimated council funding over the last decade. The consequences are poorer & no services. You’ve cut more this year despite record funding and £4.9bn extra. You even take more tax off nurses and teachers. Where has all the money gone?
This week I joined other Edinburgh MSPs to voice urgent opposition to the Labour-led proposals to slash almost all community mental health funding in the capital. Organisations such as Redhall Walled Garden and those within the Thrive Collective are facing an existential threat👇

"Community-owned energy is a must-have" says @SarahBoyack. Scotland has huge potential for clean, green, community-led power — now gov must back it. ⚡🌱 2/3

His Majesty the King has awarded me an MBE. Quite overwhelmed, especially as it’s for doing simply what I love - serving my community and the public. My statement👇

Brilliant to stroll through Hamilton town centre today with @DavyRussell4HLS, the new MSP for Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse. We don’t take this victory for granted. Thank you to every single person who voted for @ScottishLabour.

I am delighted that my Members Bill to reform Freedom of Information has been introduced in the Scottish Parliament. I look forward to debating why freedom of information law needs reformed and FOI extended to outsourced public services.

Community energy gives power back to the British people. We're working with @Ed_Miliband to put energy back the hands of in communities with the Local Power Plan and GB Energy.

We are living through an extraordinary moment – one that future generations will look back on as either the moment we transformed our energy system, or chose not to. Our new report with @LCEF_UK says it clearly: now is the time for community power, in every sense of the word.

We're taking on the politics of division with community-owned clean green energy. Our new report, Power in Our Communities shows us a path towards a net zero transition we can all have a stake in. 🌱🤝🏘️
