Nobody can be above the law.
Courts in New York exposed the way Donald Trump's empire inflated asset values, with serious questions about his operations here in Scotland.
The Scottish Government must use an Unexplained Wealth Order to force the transparency Trump has long avoided.

Every child should get a free school meal, helping them stay healthy and get a good education.

Since we delivered free bus travel for under 22s, over 250 million free journeys have been taken.
It's opened up access to education, work and social opportunities that might otherwise have been out of reach.
Now it's time to deliver free bus travel and its benefits to everyone.

Fair work shouldn't be optional.
It's essential to reduce inequality, close gender pay gaps, build community wealth and create an economy that works for all.
That's why we want to devolve employment law to Scotland and repeal the UK's anti-union legislation.
Happy May Day! ✊

When we invest in childcare we're investing in parents and children, and in building a society where families can flourish.
Scottish Greens would provide:
🟢 570 hours of funded childcare for every child aged 6 months to 2 years
🟢 1140 hours for all 2 year olds

Over 30 billion litres of raw sewage were discharged from sewer overflows into Scotland’s waterways in 2024, according to the Environmental Rights Centre for Scotland.
Our Clean Water Bill will bring in proper monitoring with real consequences when the rules are broken.

Scotland's railways should connect our communities and be the first choice for long journeys.

Housing's a human right. But the super-rich like Lord Offord are hoarding homes they don't need and pricing people out of the communities they grew up in.
By freeing up more properties for people who need a home to live in we can build a housing sector that works for everyone.

While the oil industry rakes in obscene profit, millions struggle to pay their rising bills.
It's time to close the windfall tax loopholes and fund our transition to a cleaner, greener future. We can't continue to be at the mercy of dictators and war profiteers.

Donald Trump is no friend of Scotland, the UK or the wider world. He's a war criminal.
The deference shown by Keir Starmer to this profoundly dangerous man is a national embarrassment.
It's time to stop pretending Trump is an ally and recognise him as the threat that he is.

Banks are raking in billions while the communities around them suffer cuts and underfunded public services.
Not long ago tax payers had to stump up tens of billions to bail out irresponsible banks.
It’s time for the super-rich and the biggest businesses to pay their fair share.

Scottish Greens will introduce a 10:1 pay ratio for any company or organisation receiving significant funding or contracts from the Scottish Government.
This would mean bosses can only raise their own salaries by also improving the salaries of their lowest paid staff.

16 years of disastrous austerity from Tory and Labour governments has underminded our public services.
We need real investment, not scapegoating of immigrants and asylum seekers.

Lynx were a native species to Scotland before being driven to extinction.
It's estimated the Highlands could now support up to 400 of these iconic wildcats, an important step in restoring our nature and biodiversity. 🐈

We're working to make football more affordable for fans.

This is a huge backwards step.
