Lovely networking breakfast in Parkhill Secondary this morning! ☕️ We heard from the pupils with additional learning support needs of the positive, practical experiences they provide have such as the Enterprise Academy 💚

The majority of Glaswegians saw what a Tommy Robinson-endorsed protest would bring at the weekend, & roundly opposed it on our streets #Glasgow

£210,000 allocated to an Eastern Entrance for the Necropolis ✅️ Delighted to propose funding to get the ball rolling on this project, which will help improve access to an iconic Glasgow heritage asset 💚 The Council will now discuss with partners befofe going out to public consultation on it 📝

It was a pleasure to be at the opening of the Indian Film Festival last night in the @glasgowfilmtheatre.bsky.social on behalf of the the Lord Provost 🎥 The opening screening of Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara was delightful - well done to Momentum Films for programming! 🎞

Yesterday I got fed up at Full Council of all the problems in the UK being the fault of Asylum Seekers, instead of the wealthy who starve this country of investment ✊️💚 Watch my speech below 👇 www.instagram.com/reel/DOeUEU6...

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.

If being "Mr Union Flag Suit" isn't staunch enough to be the Viceroy of Scotland for Labour, then who can be? Manky Jaiket for Scottish Secretary?

Double rainbow in Dennistoun as we chat to residents about local issues such as: - Whitehill Pool & supporting the campaign 🏊‍♀️ - Bins 🚮 - Bike Storage 🚴🏿‍♀️

🎉BREAKING: Scotland has joined the global movement to boycott Israel! The proposal put forward by Green MSP @patrickharvie.bsky.social was supported by a majority of members in the Scottish Parliament.

Scottish Greens, Trade Unions and commuters worked together to force real change on Scotland's railways by scrapping peak rail fares. 🚆How would you improve Scotland's railways?

Well done to Rosemount Development Trust for a wonderful 35th anniversary celebration in Roystonhill yesterday! 💚 There were so many great community activities & the turnout reflected that despite the rain! 🌧 It's such a key organisation in improving Royston over the decades: here's to many more.

The real threat to women has always been predatory men, not trans women, such as allegedly this Labour MSP. Colin Smyth should resign now & Labour should get their house in order & deal with predatory men in their party before it takes a headline to do something.

Reform are offering Springburn skud all. Are they going to stop austerity, invest in youth services, local industry or access to public transport? Cause all I've heard has been deporting folk fleeing the Taliban back to their hands. Reform will rot Glasgow. www.glasgowlive.co.uk/news/glasgow...

Bravo à M. Santi et à tous in St Roch's Secondary bringing practical ways to increase language learning in Royston 💚🇫🇷 www.thetimes.com/uk/scotland/...

For the 1st time in the UK since 1979, hotel workers in the Village Hotel went on strike. Today, they announced victories on pay, zero hour contracts, & equality for young staff 💚 This has been led by young workers in a precarious sector who say "enough is enough" - well done to them ✊️

Well done to the pver 400 folk who volunteered to be part of the big Royston Community Cleanup today! 💚 A big congratulations to Andy & the team at Rosemount Development Trust for bringing together residents, schools, & local groups to carry this out ✊️

☢️Nuclear weapons are a moral obscenity. Reports of radioactive leaks at Coulport and Faslane Navy bases highlight the urgency of removing these dangerous weapons from Scotland.

I called Labour out at committee for planning skud all to improve our public transport. ❌️ We have to look at ways to fund better public transport since Labour Gov aren't funding our regional Metro plans, unlike the billions they're giving to similar plans in England 👀 news.stv.tv/west-central...

Our podcasters unite! Alasdair & Anthony bumped into each other at today's Glasgow Film & Comic Con - ready to get discussing our next book of Deceit soon! 💚

✅ @anthonycarroll.bsky.social represents Dennistoun in Glasgow's East End, and is also one of the city’s bailies. He is a committed activist and trade unionist with a track record of standing on the side of workers and fighting for asylum seeker justice. I'm proud to have his support! 💚

I'm supporting @gillianmacmsp.bsky.social to be our next Scottish Green Co-leader.

Anyone bringing Fascist iconography & ideology to our streets aren't welcome in Glasgow ❌️

Went along to the Fire Service delivery consultation meeting in Springburn last night. I voiced my concerns about the potential cut of a fire engine to Springburn station, & the effect it would have on services across the North East of Glasgow ❌️ www.firescotland.gov.uk/service-deli...

Great to visit the Glasgow Chinese School & Multicultural Centre on Roystonhill with @patrickharvie.bsky.social today! Genuinely impressive how they've restored the building back to a fantastic use not just for the Chinese community, but the wider Royston area 💚

I'm a Scottish Greens member, so separate to the Green Party of England & Wales, but Zack is exactly the type of political leader the UK needs. Not afraid to clearly call out the snake oil of Reform, & offer solutions to properly improve the lives of all communities who have been left behind ✊️💚

Had a lovely Sunday morning out chatting to residents on Golfhill Drive on local issues, such as: - Whitehill Pool & the push for capital funding to get committed for its future whichever proposal is taken forward 🏊‍♂️ - Buses & the need for regulating them through franchising now 🚌

Here's my speech against the hateful bile UKIP tried to bring to Glasgow's streets - thankfully we outnumbered them 💚✊️

“Ukip use phrases like ‘these streets are our streets’ and ‘we will protect ourselves’. Well, they aren’t their streets, they belong to the people of Glasgow. And we don’t want fascists calling for our friends and neighbours to be deported.” Glasgow Green Cllr @danhutchison.bsky.social

I'm really sorry to hear that Cllr Mark Dixon has passed away. Although independent, he worked with Ayrshire Green members, & I had regular discussions with him on work in South Ayrshire, including his new post he was keen to get stuck into. RIP Mark 💚 www.dailyrecord.co.uk/ayrshire/cou...

I'm not running to be Co-leader of the Scottish Greens. I'll keep fighting for people & planet but we need to tackle the cultural issues inside our house first. Members have asked for a cultural review, & I hope leadership candidates make sure it happens. www.thenational.scot/news/2533780...

Bumper issue of the Dennistoun Digest, catching up on *a-lot* of things the past month! 💚 cllranthonycarroll.substack.com/p/dennistoun...

Glasgiw Green Councillors, MSP candidates & others joined No Pride in Genocide's bloc in solidarity with all oppressed people, including those suffering from genocidal attacks in Palestine. 🇵🇸 💚 There will be no pinkwashing in Glasgow! ✊️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Demonise minorities rather than the rich for this country's ills, you'll get a cushy number in Starmer's Labour Government. Dare to speak out against Starmer & his swindlers, and you get suspended. Labour is no vehicle for the change this country needs - for many now, its the Greens 💚

We had a lovely time meeting Vienna Green Councillor Magdalena Wagner yesterday in the Chambers! We discussed our approaches on increased walking & cycling infrastructure, drug consumption rooms, & just transitions of skills to tackle de-industrialisation 💚

It feels like everyone I talk to has had issues getting hold of their Labour MP across the whole of Glasgow. It's been bitterly disappointing to not have vocal fighters this city needs - and Glaswegians are wise enough to not let more of these chancers in next year ✊️💚

⚠️ BLOCHAIRN ROAD SEWER COLLAPSE ⚠️ There are emergency repairs needing to take place at Blochairn Road due to a collapsed sewer. We've no precise timescales yet on how long the works will be, but I'm chasing Scottish Water on any further information on that & will update.

Had a lovely time yesterday with Green members old & new going on a potted history & horticultural tour of Alexandra Park! 💚 Thanks to Em for providing us with all the orchid & other botanical facts nestled in our park! 🌺
