It's time to fix Scotland’s broken land ownership system and put power back into the hands of communities, not the super-rich.

This week the Scottish Parliament passed our Bill and banned greyhound racing in Scotland! 🙌
But there's still work to do, and Scottish greyhounds will continue to be raced over the border.
The Scottish Government should do all it can to ensure no dog is left behind.

Scotland is in the midst of a mental health crisis.
Services are stretched, people are stuck on waiting lists, and too many are being left to struggle alone.
We'll roll out free walk-in mental health support hubs across Scotland, and ensure year-on-year real terms increases in mental health spending.

Scotland's land distribution is amongst the most unequal in Europe.
Land should be used to benefit our communities, nature and environment, not just private profit.
We'll limit how much land can be bought by any individual or company unless it can be proved that ownership will contribute to the common good.

Greyhound racing has been banned in Scotland!
We were one of the last countries on the planet to allow it. But the Scottish Parliament overwhelmingly backed our bill last night.
Mark Ruskell MSP who lodged the bill reacts 👇

Tomorrow Scotland can ban greyhound racing for good, as the Scottish Parliament takes its final vote on Scottish Green MSP Mark Ruskell's bill.
This cruel 'sport' results in the deaths of hundreds of dogs in the UK and leaves tens of thousands injured.
It's time it was finally brought to an end.

Two people have been abducted from Scotland in the middle of the night by the US military. Despite an order from our highest court that they be kept here.
The Scottish Government must show that actions have consequences by evicting American troops from their base at publicly-owned Prestwick Airport.

A new poll puts us in second place!
With 7 MSPs we delivered free bus travel under 22s, ended peak rail fares, banned new incinerators, increased taxes on the rich, scrapped school meal debt, introduced rent controls, and much more.
Imagine what we could do with double that. 👀

Scotland's richest 2% now have more wealth than half the population combined.
At today's #FMQs we asked the First Minister why shooting estates owned by billionaires still pay no business rates.
We’re losing millions of pounds that could go towards our schools, libraries, and hospitals.
Aristocrats shouldn't get a blank cheque while the rest of us get austerity.

The killing of animals is not a sport! ❌
Loopholes in new licensing laws allow this barbaric practice to continue in Scotland's countryside.
It's time to end grouse shooting for good.
