On Sunday I joined constituents, campaigners and trade unionists to honour those from Lanarkshire who made the ultimate sacrifice in the fight against fascism in the Spanish Civil War. Congratulations to the North Lanarkshire No Pasaran Memorial Committee for another excellent gathering.

Trump is a dangerous warmonger who has shown contempt for international law and human rights. Keir Starmer chose to embrace him and support his actions. Andy Burnham faces a choice, will he stand up to Donald Trump or will he make the same mistakes again. morningstaronline.co.uk/article/burn...

Burnham must stand up to 'warmonger' Trump, say Scottish GreensANDY BURNHAM must “stand up to Donald Trump” and block US military from Prestwick and other British air bases, according to the Scottish Greens.Scottish Greens co-leader Gillian Mackay MSP spoke out i...morningstaronline.co.uk

Andy Burnham is allowing Donald Trump to use UK bases for his illegal war in Iran. Britain should not be complicit in war crimes. The Scottish Greens will continue to push the Scottish Government to make sure that Scottish airports aren’t used as a staging post for Trump’s troops!

Anas Sarwar is a chancer! By grabbing a place on the unelected red benches, he's ensured that he gets all of the power and privilege without having to worry about what voters might think. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Sarwar branded a ‘chancer’ over expected Lords switchAnas Sarwar is expected to stand down as Scottish Labour leader and as an MSP to sit in the House of Lords.www.independent.co.uk

Anas has gone from promising to scrap the House of Lords to taking a seat in it. He has spent years attacking the very institution he is now preparing to join. The hypocrisy is breath-taking.

There is nothing new about denying democracy. Andy Burnham has built his whole reputation on devolving power and doing things differently, but this is already looking like the same old Westminster rule.

It’s time for Burnham to rule out any new oil and gas drilling in the north sea and halt the Rosebank development. Anything less would fly in the stance of the science while doing nothing to lower bills or protect us from the global price hikes. www.deadlinenews.co.uk/2026/07/20/s...

The impact that hyperscale data centres would have on our communities, environment, and energy systems are unfathomable. This growing international rejection underscores the importance of Scotland introducing a similar ban, before the damage is done.

Today marks the 90th anniversary of the Spanish Civil War. A total of 549 Scots volunteered to fight in Spain. Proportionally more Scots volunteered than from any other country. We still have a lot of work to do in Scotland to tackle fascism, racism, and all forms of discrimination.

For a party that claims to defend freedom of speech, using censorship to control the languages people can use in political campaigns says everything about Reform UK’s real priorities. greens.scot/news/reform-...

This is a desperate attempt at distraction. Farage is trying to do anything but answer questions about his dodgy handouts from crypto billionaires and a wealthy fraudster.

There are lessons to be learned from this situation at Monklands, but that will be of little comfort to the staff and patients who are dealing with an old hospital. Last week I asked Government to meet unions and staff to ensure that the hospital is a safe place to work.

It’s time for a halt to all hyperscale developments until there is a national strategy in place for councils to consider them. Developments like this can have a catastrophic environmental impact. It’s no wonder that local people are concerned about what it would mean.

Whether it's juggling family life, attending hospital appointments, working on a passion project, socialising with friends or simply getting a bit more time to sleep, a four-day week without loss of pay has been proven to benefit everyone. greens.scot/news/extra-b...

People have been attacked in the street because of the colour of their skin, while mobs have shouted at non-white children to ‘send them home’. There are no ‘legitimate concerns’ which can justify this kind of hateful action and never can be.

Millions of us are looking forward to seeing Scotland men’s team on the world’s biggest stage. That’s why we are calling for Scotland’s games to be made free for everyone to watch permanently, not just when we qualify for the World Cup. Football is for everyone! greens.scot/news/scottis...

The Scottish Parliament passed a Green motion to boycott, divest from and sanction Israel. We later found out that no work had started on this proposal. Today I asked the Government when we might see this coming forward. Scotland must not be complicit in genocide.

Fans are being priced out of football. Thanks to John McGinn & Kevin Bridges for highlighting this issue. This week the Scottish Parliament voted for my amendment to cap away tickets in Scotland at £25 but so much more needs done across the game. Football without fans is nothing!
