A Universal Basic Income would help reduce poverty and inequality while improving health and wellbeing.

Trials conducted across the world have already shown the improvements it can make to people's lives without discouraging work.

We've launched a plan to hold trials across Scotland and the UK, paving the way for UBI to become a cornerstone of a social security system that offers safety and dignity to everyone. #VoteScottishGreens

Kate Forbes has said that the SNP are no longer against new oil and gas licences

The Scottish Government must ban companies profiting from Israel's assault on Gaza or illegal settlements in Palestine from receiving public sector contracts and grants.

We raised this seven months ago and the then First Minister agreed. But no action has been taken. #FMQs

🙌 The buffer zones bill, brought by Scottish Green MSP Gillian Mackay, is at a crucial point as stage 2 (of 3) starts today.

This is where amendments will first be considered. We've already heard of plans to weaken the bill with loopholes and exemptions. Scottish Green MSPs will oppose any attempt to do so.

This bill is about ensuring everyone can have safe access to the healthcare they are entitled to. It's time to end the intimidation and harassment too often faced by patients and staff.
