Use of Taxpayer Funded Car Trips edit
Why is there no mention of the scandal involving her charting car and boat trips at taxpayers expense? She requested a taxpayer funded car drive 100 miles to pick her up, and had the taxpayer pay £1200 for her ferry trip to Rum.

Birth year edit
I’m not sure if it entirely presents Wikipedia in a good light if it appears to be unsure of what year somebody is born — better to just leave that out until somebody can definitely establish her birth year, I think. Star-one (talk) 19:08, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Should Lorna being a transwoman be mentioned in the article? edit
Transwomen need more visibility, not less. The fact that Lorna is trans should be mentioned somewhere in the article, no? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.54.62.192 (talk) 01:48, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
"one of the first Green politicians in the UK to serve as a government minister" edit
I feel that this is somewhat misleading as it's not made clear that she has not been a minister of the UK government but the local Scottish Parliament. Could this be amended so no misunderstanding could happen? Jatrius (talk) 18:55, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
