Trump’s tariffs: We must “oppose Trump’s divide-and-rule tactics” say Greens 3 April 2025 by Green Party "We need to work together to oppose Trump’s divide-and-rule tactics. In the first instance, that means standing with partners like the EU and Canada who share our commitment to trade agreements rather than trade coercion. It’s a fantasy to believe that our long-term economic prosperity can be left in the hands of whether or not we are in Trump’s favour on any one given day.

“A legacy offering real hope for Scotland” – Carla Denyer reflects on Patrick Harvie’s tenure as longest serving political leader in the UK 2 April 2025 / 2 April 2025 by Green Party "Patrick's legacy goes well beyond being the longest-serving political leader in the UK, or even being the leader who took Greens into government for the first time in the UK.
