I think there’s a lot of white men virtue signaling and I just want to say try to be a Global South Migrant in a party that won’t listen to you. I tried to make it a priority in their agenda and it just was not happening. “It’s not devolved” it’s not enough for me. (1/5)

Today at Full Council I supported @anthonycarroll.bsky.social's amendment to an SNP motion condemning disinformation about asylum seekers and refugees, and reiterating that Glasgow is a welcoming city for those seeking refuge.

Today the order banning #PalestineAction as "terrorists" came into effect. But they are not terrorists. They are protesters trying to stop a genocide. This is a "first they came for ..." situation. Unless we stand in solidarity against this assault on our freedom, they will pick us off one by one.

Eid Mubarak! Wishing everyone a happy and blessed Eid al-Adha.

Glasgow’s third largest party out in Govan tonight whilst being snubbed by the BBC … Despite the lack of tv appearances we continue to connect with communities … what is it they’re afraid of? 🥴

Green politics should be about materially opposing fascism, not just saying "I told you so" when Farage becomes PM. It's incumbent on Greens to take the fight directly to Reform - we know that it's both Green ideas and Green votes at the ballot box next year that can defeat the far-right.

The UK is one of the wealthiest countries in history. But that wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few, where it's used to buy yachts and private jets instead of building up public services. A 1% wealth tax on net assets over £10 million could raise £10 billion a year.

Starmer's abhorrent speech about immigration does not reflect our reality of a city which has benefited massively from migration and which values the contribution of migrants to our communities.

Four years ago we saw a community unite to peacefully protect their neighbours from detention. This week we saw Prime Minister Keir Starmer mimicking Enoch Powell with speeches that vilify and scapegoat. Scotland must be the party of Kenmure Street, not Downing Street.

🔥This is why we need climate action now.

Stunning day for the Green team in the May Day Football Fundraiser! ☀️ We may not have won, but playing with some solid Trade & Tenant Unions has helped raise funds for charity ✊️ Well done to GMB Glasgow Branch 40 Cleansing, Glasgow Branch 1 Care and Branch 28/51 Ed/FM for sponsoring also! 💚

I'd recommend a visit to @agrayarchive.bsky.social, it's a fascinating archive of the life and works of an incredibly talented man

🎉GREAT NEWS! 🚆Peak rail fares are being scrapped in Scotland! Making train travel cheaper for all. WATCH: @markruskell.bsky.social ⤵️

A great day at the May Day March through Glasgow ✊ 'Environmentalism without class struggle is just gardening.'

I had a lovely evening celebrating 100 years of Woodside Halls. It's great to see such a well loved and well used community hall going strong. Well done to everyone at Community Central Halls!

This is where a Labour Government with no hope & no plan for the country gets you. Reform winning while punting false solutions to benefit their pals, not their constituents. If Labour won't fight for those left behind & deliver proper investment in our communities again, then Greens will. 💚

Congratulations to Ella Sharp of Hillhead High for designing such an incredible sustainable dress and winning a prestigious award! www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/2512102...

Great news, Ann is an excellent candidate.

I enjoyed joining parents, pupils, and teachers at Dunard Primary this morning to plant flowers, improve benches, and clean up the playground. Great to see such a strong community spirit!

Thanks to Parents for Future Scotland for another really informative event about the dangers of air pollution and the benefits of active travel. It's always great to hear how children want to see our city improved.

The list of people who “ are allowed “dignity in this country gets smaller by the day. My voice is all I have and I won’t allow anyone to take it away.

It has never been more true than today.

1. Whenever you see really vicious and widespread "spontaneous" attacks on scientific findings that challenge powerful economic interests, you can be assured that corporate lobbyists have been busy behind the scenes. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Yesterday at full council I spoke about the damaging impact which Labour's latest cuts will have in Glasgow's communities and explained how wealth taxes are a viable alternative which would raise revenue, address economic inequality, alleviate child poverty, and protect human rights

The early days of a child’s life are vital, and every new parent should have the opportunity to spend quality time with them. This Mother’s Day, the UK Government could make a big difference for expectant parents by expanding maternity and paternity pay! www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

In memory of Christina McKelvie MSP.

A reduction in the number of new social homes delivered was inevitable after Scottish Government budget cuts. Social housing requires sustained funding commitment from the Scottish Government. The housing emergency will continue until housing becomes a priority for investment

The Chancellor said today that she would not do anything to put household finances in danger Yet the government’s own assessment shows their cuts to health related benefits risk pushing 250,000 people into poverty, including 50,000 children 📢 Their assessment also found... 1/3

We need more women elected to local authorities so that women's experiences and priorities are central to policy making and decision making. If you're considering standing to be a councillor, @electheruk.bsky.social have a series of workshops to support you www.elect-her.org.uk/be-a-council...

Why the social pain of welfare reform overshadows any economic gain. Past efforts to move more people into work by restricting benefits have often hurt those who lose them, without expanding the available workforce in areas that employers most need. theconversation.com/why-the-soci...

'These cuts are a direct attack on disabled people’s lives' | Martha Wardrop ✍️

🥀Is this the 'change' that Labour promised? ✔️ Pushing children into poverty ✔️ Pushing elderly people into poverty ✔️ Pushing disabled people into poverty ✔️ Pushing Scotland into poverty Instead of brutal cuts, it's time to tax the rich. Let's build a fairer country for all.
