Citing concerns about misinformation and hate, @ScottishGreens@mastodon.scot have (Finally!) made the decision to leave X for good. They cited Mastodon as one of the 8 platforms they can still be found on but I hope this can result in more engagement on the fediverse. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/scottish-greens-quit-x-over-125527731.html #scotpol #scotland #uk #ukpol #politics #greens

Multinational investment banks and foreign state wealth funds are cashing in on Scottish renewables. https://www.thenational.scot/news/26429214.scottish-wind-farms-paying-1bn-foreign-shareholders/ Scotland could bring energy into public ownership, costing you exactly the same as it will to not do it. Here's how: https://www.commonweal.scot/articles/magazine-d6cz3 #Energy #ScottishPolitics #ScotPol #Renewables

RE: https://mastodon.scot/@kim_harding/117002673601510953 So this isn't 'Terrorism' but an elderly vicar holding a sign that says "Palestine Action" is? And that ain't going to change with the new guy in No 10, is it? #Terrorism #Fascism #Vigilantes #Nazis #ScotPol #UKpol #UKpolitics #JimDowson

Yesterday I said that I had written three good essays this week, and published two of them. Today, I'm publishing the third. This one is not at all cheerful. "So: given the data above, and the projected map above, the 'everyone dies' event projected by the Meteorological Office covers the triangle bounded by Plymouth-Norwich-Glasgow — and yes, that includes us here in Auchencairn." #ExtremeHeat#ClimateEmergency#UKPol#ScotPol

The 'everyone dies' event comes home

On 23<sup>rd</sup> June, the Meteorological Office published a [blog post](https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/blog/2026/uk-could-see-45c-by-2056-scientists-reflect-on-1976-heatwave-anniversary) in which they claimed that 'UK could see 45°C by 2056'. As you'll know, I've blogged before of the issue of [excessive heat events](https://www.journeyman.cc/blog/posts-output/2021-11-15-the-everyone-dies-event-class/) in our changing climate. So the fact that they projected temperatures above 35° Celsius witho

Since this is #trans day of visibility, it seems an appropriate moment to mention that I am standing for election to the Scottish Parliament on the Glasgow regional list for the @ScottishGreens@mastodon.scot. Good luck to all the other trans and non-binary Greens who are standing across the country as part of our most diverse set of candidates yet. Given the encouraging polls and the state of competing parties, I am very hopeful that one or more of you will be making history in May. #ScotPol #UKPol

RE: https://mastodon.scot/@nr/115615446138812458 3 months on & the Green Party has grown to 216k members. Not due to corporate funding, polluters or pandering to the racist press, but folk determined to put Hope back on the ballot box. They’re on track to become the largest party in the U.K. by membership. Their peak before Zack Polanski was 63k members in 2015. The magnitude of the growth is groundbreaking. #greens #ukpol #scotpol #politics #uk #elections

All parties have a sludge who are desperate to become MPs - at whatever the cost and bugger any principles they might have held. Alba are no different. He has gone from SNP to Alba to Labour in search of a seat. Make sure voters know the about bar stewards lost ‘principles’. But he is a dody ‘businessman’ and that is al he cares about. #ScotPol #SNP #Alba #Labour #Principles #WotPrinciples

A handy reminder of how voting actually works in Scotland for the May elections. https://bylines.scot/politics/holyrood/election-2026/why-the-electoral-system-matters-holyrood-election-2026/ I will be SNP 1 Greens 2 in the hope that my tiny contribution will help an independence majority in Holyrood, as well as appreciation (partial) for some of the policies of both parties. #ScotPol #Elections #May #Curtis
