## Resource

Scottish Greens MSP Q Manivannan, a queer Tamil immigrant and one of two transgender MSPs, needs a visa renewal to complete their full five-year term. The party is fully backing them through the process, as Manivannan has lived in Scotland since 2021. The Greens strongest showing ever resulted in fifteen MSPs, with Manivannan set to represent under new parliament rules. The focus now shifts to how this new squad will push for climate action, cost-of-living relief, and a fairer Scotland. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
