Today I reintroduced the Hillsborough Law to Parliament. The Prime Minister promised enacting this legislation would be one of his first acts in office. A year on, he still hasn’t done it. I’m showing him that it’s here and ready to go. It just needs political will.

We're committed to sharing power and ownership - and when it comes to green energy, we mean that literally. Here's 5 ways Community Energy shares power. 🧵

Duplicitous nonsense. Your government has decimated council funding over the last decade. The consequences are poorer & no services. You’ve cut more this year despite record funding and £4.9bn extra. You even take more tax off nurses and teachers. Where has all the money gone?
This week I joined other Edinburgh MSPs to voice urgent opposition to the Labour-led proposals to slash almost all community mental health funding in the capital. Organisations such as Redhall Walled Garden and those within the Thrive Collective are facing an existential threat👇

"Community-owned energy is a must-have" says @SarahBoyack. Scotland has huge potential for clean, green, community-led power — now gov must back it. ⚡🌱 2/3

🧵 Community energy isn’t just good for the planet — it’s good for people, places & democracy. The new Power In Our Communities report produced by @CoopParty @LCEF_UK shows how. Here’s what it means for Scotland 👇 1/3 party.coop/community/power

I am delighted that my Members Bill to reform Freedom of Information has been introduced in the Scottish Parliament. I look forward to debating why freedom of information law needs reformed and FOI extended to outsourced public services.
