'Scottish Green MSPs will not take part in parliamentary business on Wednesday in solidarity with striking workers. We will not cross virtual or physical picket lines, and hope that others will join us in that.

We will always defend the rights of workers.'

🤣🤣

😂😂😂will anyone notice...😂

Aw, c'mon you lot. I'm sure they're really sad to be missing out on Questions.

So, just as Maggie's trans-women-aren't-rapists chickens come home to roost she runs away?

"Brave, brave, brave, Sir Chapman."

This!

I can only imagine that there will be a sizeable proportion of MSP's who will relieved to have a bit of peace from the Green MSP's, to be honest.

I love that bit!

I have no words, didn’t think it was possible for things to get even weirder but here we are!

An action that will be welcomed by many, I’m sure. But not for the reasons that the Greens might think.

Oh what a great end to a fabulous day😂

Are they going to donate a lost day's wages, plus both employer and employee pension contribution etc to the trade unions?
Doubt it.

If only they could do the honourable thing and make it permanent.

Can't answer any awkward questions if you're not there. I think this is called a tactical retreat. The late great Magdalen Berns might have described it more colourfully

Why, when they could just identify as striking workers and sit in parliament anyway?

I wonder what they're going to do on Thursday.

Party of semi government downs tools in solidarity with workers who feel they are not paid enough by said government...

Aye, sounds like green party logic

Can we manage to woman a permanent picket line round holyrood to keep those nutters the fuck away from political decision making?

The greens have form for running away: www.scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/news/politics/lorna-slater-flees-holyrood-chamber-28998841

Somebody please follow Chapman around with coconut shells for horse hooves

But aren’t they part of the government that is failing to put an agreeable settlement to the strikers? Isn’t it rather insulting to virtue signal support for striking rather than ensure their own government agrees and funds a decent pay settlement? Where is the collective ministerial responsibility that Sturgeon was so keen on with Ash Reagan?

Gosh.

That’s a convenient bit of timing!

🎶 The FM went full TERF on Monday
Died on her arse on Tuesday
I shat myself about Wednesday
I'll hide on Thursday and Friday and Saturday
Hope they don't find me by Sunday... 🎶

😂

Valid though the other thoughts are, this.

You're either in the government or agin the government.

It's not environmentally friendly to have your cake and eat it.

Scotland would be a much better place if they just fucked off for good.

How did we lose Andy Wightman and still have vile fuckwits like Chaoman, Slater, Greer and Harvie?

Yes, how did the environmental movement lose its best fighters and end up with the bunch that are in power today? It's completely defanged, distracted and useless at best.
