🍦Big Scoop tracker update 📊 We've fully updated our handy page of time series public opinion measures, added new visualisations and made it much easier to find. And we've renamed it the SES Opinion Dashboard 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🧑🏽‍🤝‍🧑🏻 Summary 🧵 scottishelections.ac.uk/dashboard/

This morning at full council I’ll be moving an emergency motion condemning the US bombing of Iran and asking the UK Government to unequivocally oppose any unilateral military action that risks further conflict and destabilisation in the region.

There is a housing crisis & planning policy has to adapt. If NP4 & local development plans don’t allow for 1000 new homes to be build between existing built up urban areas right in the middle of the central belt then planning policy isn’t fit for purpose. www.thenational.scot/news/2524241...

Tomorrow's front page 📰 'Cuts in every detail', say SNP after Chancellor's spending review

Lovely day out on the doors in Hamilton. Clear that Labour’s support has completely collapsed and only @snp.org can beat Reform on Thursday.

Lovely day for Full Council! Grateful to the Labour group for failing to submit any motions before the deadline meaning we might get away slightly earlier than usual and can enjoy a bit of sun!

Notwithstanding that this is unenforceable, this basically requires trans people to out themselves multiple times a day, every time they use the toilet at work. Our national parliament should not be stripping people of their dignity in this way. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is beyond belief. UK Government officials lobbied on behalf of the private business interests of a corrupt, authoritarian, foreign leader.

I understand that some people have had issues getting in contact with my campaign email address. Members of Glasgow Southside can get in touch with me on [email protected]

This is not what the Supreme Court ruling said.

Bid to turn Glasgow flat into home for 14 tenants 'like a return to Victorian times' www.glasgowlive.co.uk/news/glasgow...

A freedom of information request has shown that not a single one of Glasgow’s Labour MPs has raised concerns about Labour’s “job tax” with the Chancellor. www.thenational.scot/news/2508311...

As charities start to struggle & services are axed, an FOI request has shown that not a single Glasgow Labour MP has raised the impact of ENICs increases with the Treasury. Glasgow’s Labour MPs promised to stand up for the city but yet again they’re entirely missing in action. t.co/duA2dvh8gd

8 years is a long time in politics when you’re devoid of principles.

Glasgow city council "very disappointed" that Angela Eagle's visit to Scotland next week has been cancelled Cllr Allan Casey: “The Home Office needs to engage with this issue, urgently - and I am seeking assurances that this will be no more than a very brief postponement".

what an oddly misogynist way to word this

The 2026 Holyrood elections will be based on new boundaries, I am therefore seeking nomination to be selected as the candidate for Glasgow Southside. It has been a privilege to represent Glasgow Kelvin for the past four years and will continue to do so to the best of my ability.

Christina was one of the most authentic, principled and committed people I’ve had the privilege to know. She was never anything but kind, generous and just generally a great and very funny person. She’ll be much missed and my thoughts are with all her family and friends.

✂️As the UK Government announces yet more cuts, one Glasgow Labour MP says he’s “proud” of the cuts to disability benefits that’ll hit those most in need the hardest.

🌟Good morning. Here’s today’s content from #BrandScotland showcasing Scotland as a fantastic place to live, work, invest, study, and visit. Please share. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🌍

Glasgow’s newest two councillors, Mhairi Hunter and Donna McGill were congratulated by the First Minister this weekend on their amazing wins!👏

I’ll just leave this here… 👇🏼

This Thursday 20th March is Polling Day in the North East by-election. 🥀 Labour’s incompetence has left this community without a voice & wasted public money. Voters have the chance on Thursday to elect a local community-based champion in Donna McGill, your SNP candidate🗳️

Perfect weather for a day of campaigning across the North East ward for our great candidate Donna McGill.

🙏 Thank you to the women of the SNP who fight every day for a better Scotland. #IWD2025 #InternationalWomensDay

Fash and chips

UN calls on Labour to do what the SNP has already done (inflation linking) or pledged to do (two-child cap) 💅 Leading the way, as per.

There’s a very unique and specific bitterness in Glasgow Labour in that they only support the city when they’re running it. They’ll say they love Glasgow and claim they’d never talk it down but at the same time entirely refuse to acknowledge any good that happens.

Our budget this year invests in Glaswegians' priorities: in cleansing, parks and open spaces, and education. 🏠 £10m to tackle the housing emergency 🧹 £7m to keep out streets cleaner 🚗 £20m for potholes and roads 🍎 Free school meals for all primary pupils

@glasgowsnp.bsky.social SNP Councillors Stand With Ukraine - be there on Monday 24th February 6pm St Enoch Square

Brutal cuts to disability benefits are on their way from the Labour government and it’ll be local authorities who’re left to pick up the pieces.

Glasgow Labour’s budget allocates a one off £40,000 to tackling the housing emergency, enough for one part time member of staff on a temporary contract. Meanwhile the SNP budget allocates £10 million.

Before we even set our budget, Labour incompetence has slashed £40m from the total we have to spend on services. In addition to the £30m/year for Labour’s equal pay scandal, Rachel Reeves’ tax on jobs - which she’s fully funded in England - leaves us a further £10m short.

🏛️ It’s budget day in the City Chambers today. This budget invests in Glaswegians’ priorities: in cleansing, parks and open spaces, and education. Follow along for the key announcements.

It’s so deeply embarrassing for him that he’s trying to position himself as some sort poor man’s Elon Musk. It reeks of desperation for Elon to notice him and give him a wee bit of attention.

⏮️ In March 2024, Maureen Burke MP said it was the UK Government’s responsibility to pay WASPI women what they are owed. Today, when she had the chance to deliver justice, she didn’t bother to turn up. Shameful betrayal of her constituents in Glasgow🥀

Fabulous night at the Celtic Connections opening concert celebrating the start of Glasgow’s 850th birthday year.

Someone’s changed their tune. As Tory polling slumps suddenly Thomas Kerr doesn’t think Reform are so bad after all. 🤑🤑🤑

I’m a strong supporter of the UN led work on climate change - and an advocate of more urgent and radical climate action - but it is now abundantly clear that the COP process needs an overhaul.

💛Loads of @theSNP teams out across Maryhill today. 🗳️ Polls close at 10pm #VoteSNP #Finn1

Who thought November by-elections were a good idea?

Thanks to the 2pm shift! Hope everyone is home and having a hot drink! 💛

#Glasgow North East #by-election #SNP candidate Kilian Riley: “I think most people will see through the hypocrisy. They'll see through the fact that #Labour are saying ‘vote Labour to stop what Labour are doing’. That message I can't see really resonating with people particularly well.”

At the last full council I spoke about the mess Labour left Glasgow in and the impact it’s going to have for decades to come.

Glad the amendment to ban dual mandates will be coming back. SNP MSPs should quickly say that they’ll be supporting it and bring an end to this. www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politic...
