#greenparty #green this is the sort of thing I want to see from our politicians in the UK. More of this please. More focus on fixing our broken systems.

I am generally out of touch with news – I’ve basically stopped looking for the sake of my mental health

1. Apparently, 12 days ago a Court of Session judge ruled that the UK government were entitled to use section 35 of the Scotland Act 1998 to overrule the Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill on 17 January 😳
(The GRR had been on the verge of becoming law, after the Scottish Parliament voted 88–39 in favour of the Bill on 22 December last year)

Later in this parliamentary term, they will introduce a Housing Bill providing tenants with permanent protection from eviction and rent controls
And the Scottish Government have just published plans to double council tax on second homes
