New polling for the Scottish Green MSPs is set to pile pressure on managers of the Scottish Parliament's pension fund to stop investing tens of millions of pounds of public money in firms that contribute to wars, climate change and ill-health. 

This week we spend most of our time on the sudden resignation of Kezia Dugdale as leader of Scottish Labour. Lesley considers the remaining runners and riders for the poison chalice of Scottish politics and which of them, if any, can restore Labour's fortunes. I chip in on the sad lack , not just in the Labour Party, of outstanding political personalities. The recent special on the 70th...

By Spring next year 250 km of new roads will have been delivered by the SNP Scottish Government over 10 years – the result of £2.81 billion of investment. 

  At the door to the allotment shed, old Uncle Jeremy dozed in the broken armchair with the springs sticking out. ‘Wake up’, said a voice. It was young Kezia, his niece, shaking the shoulder of his Mao jacket. ‘Eh? What’s up? What day is it? Has the revolution started?’ He ran fingers through his […]

“The Nasty Party”.It was with those three words that Theresa May – in her description of how the Tories were seen by ordinary people – first came to national political prominence.

50 politicians from across Europe have responded to Theresa May’s triggering of Article 50 by signing a letter claiming that an independent Scotland will be “most welcome as a full member of the European Union”. 

Most Scots think Holyrood, not Westminster, should have the right to decide whether to hold a second independence referendum, according to a new poll.

This is welcome, but we need to keep in mind that many new families need much more than a baby box to give their newborn the best start in life.

Scotland is plagued by a Parliament of morons. The vast majority of opposition MSPs are people who were directly and personally rejected by voters – usually with good reason – but who were parachuted into lucrative jobs anyway by their parties. And yesterday, as Theresa May formally began the process that will tear Scotland out of […]

Ross Greer MSP, External Affairs spokesperson for the Scottish Greens, today (29 March) described the triggering of Article 50 by the Prime Minister as "economic and social vandalism" and “signalling the end of the UK”.
