The system is rigged.

Good to see racists being drowned out once again by counter-protests in Perth. Asylum seekers and immigrants are welcome in Perth it’s who we are! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 https://t.co/xgGtlKUHiQ

Since we delivered free bus travel for those under the age of 22, over 250 million free journeys have been taken. That's congestion off ours streets, pollution out our air, and money back in people's pockets. That's a resounding success we can build on.

Great to be at @scottishgreens conference in Edinburgh and to catch up with @markruskell MSP on our fair rail campaign - we welcome his continuing support for free rail travel for companions of visually impaired people with NEC eye + 1 cards! #sgpconf

We’re not far away from passenger trains on the Alloa to Dunfermline line. The case is still there. I will soon produce a report, which spells out what the opportunities are for rail opportunities in Fife. https://t.co/qswnivg01S

@StrathHerald 🧵 11/11 encourage more community ownership of land. It's only with bold action, curbs on land hoarding, taxes that make the wealthy contribute, & laws that put Scotland’s environment 1st, that we can begin to tip the balance of power & put it back in the hands of communities.

@StrathHerald 🧵 10/11 services are stretching crews to the limit. The SNP should instead listen to the people of Scotland, 78% of people in a recent poll want landowners to be made to meet climate and nature targets, 67% want a land tax on big estates and 80% want the SNP government to

@StrathHerald 🧵 9/11 group made recommendations to government. But the SNP government have once again listened to the landowning lobby and have delayed the rules coming into force by yet another year. This further puts our climate, nature and communities at risk at a time when cuts to fires

@StrathHerald 🧵 8/11 of tonnes of carbon to the skies. Climate change is already bringing droughts to Scotland, limiting the spread of wildfires needs careful restoration of peatlands which are in danger of drying out. Controls over muirburn were legislated for 6 years after an independent

@StrathHerald 🧵 7/11 change yet we still see vast areas of moorland being burned by shooting estates to artificially increase the numbers of grouse to be shot. There have been recent incidents of muirburn going out of control with catastrophic wildfires damaging nature and releasing hundreds

@StrathHerald 🧵 6/11 are seeing walkers once again being barred from crossing the hills on the Glen Lyon estate despite our supposedly strong right-to-roam laws. At the very least communities should be informed and meaningfully consulted. How we use land is critical to how we tackle climate

@StrathHerald 🧵 5/11 around the plans of Discovery Land Company (DLC) who have been buying up Taymouth Castle, Glen Lyon, the Moness Resort and Kenmore. The local communities have not been fully informed about the long-term plans – they just see large US landowner buying up more and more. We

@StrathHerald 🧵 4/11 for housing, small businesses, community projects, and recreation. Decision making becomes remote: landowners prioritising profit, prestige, or tax optimisation instead of what local people need. For example, in Perthshire there has been a complete lack of transparency

@StrathHerald 🧵 3/11 buy land in Scotland. Right now the bill is weak and doesn’t deliver the real reform needed, the SNP government have been too quick to listen to landowning groups. Why does this matter? Because when land is hoarded, communities suffer. Ordinary Scots lose access to land

@StrathHerald 🧵 2/11 In a couple of weeks, the Scottish Parliament will take the Land Reform Bill to the final vote. The Scottish Greens want to use this bill to make Scotland a fairer place by, for example, proposing more stringent rules for the super-rich and tax avoiders when they try and

🧵 1/11 My column from the @StrathHerald this week. Land is power. At the moment, too much of that power lies in too few hands. With just under 1% of people owning half of Scotland’s land, that’s a concentration of ownership that badly distorts opportunity, and fairness.

Robert Jenrick calls Handsworth "a slum". The Prime Minister calls us "an island of strangers". Real leaders know that there's culture in every corner of the UK when you scratch below the surface. Real leaders don't punch down, they lift up.
