A wonderful positive campaign but we fell just a little short of winning in Fountainbridge-Craiglockhart this time. Our 3rd place makes winning here in 2027 so much more likely.

This was incredibly disappointing 🙅‍♂️ In speaking, I mentioned the inspirational actions of Labour Cllrs in 1986 when opposing apartheid in South Africa ✊ How far Labour has fallen that, now, in the face of a genocide, they refuse to use their power to oppose arms companies testing on Council land 🥀

I'm proud to be bringing forward this motion to the Council's Culture and Communities committee today. Fingers crossed other Councillors support my calls.

With this latest SNP retreat we're falling behind on energy efficiency. With bills soaring and climate change accelerating, it's vital we improve home insulation and expand the use of clean energy like heat pumps and heat networks. It won’t happen by itself. We need clear leadership.

BAE Systems arms states that are engaged in human rights atrocities like Israel and Saudi Arabia. Yet the Scottish Government is giving them millions in grants. We must stop funding multinational arms companies, and instead use that money to support people in Scotland.

I would like to thank the committee members for their careful deliberation, council officers for their professionalism, and the hundreds of Leith citizens who have been in touch with me and other councillors to explain what a transformative impact the LTN has had on their lives.

Scotland has massive potential for renewable energy. 🌍We have the resources. 👷‍♂️We have the workers. What we need is politicians to provide workers a real opportunity to transition to greener industries as we move away from fossil fuels.

At Leader's Questions new Edinburgh Council Leader Jane Meagher quotes standing orders and then refuses to answer question by Green Co-convenor @chasbooth.bsky.social about worsening climate changing pollution from Heathrow 3rd runway and impact on Edinburgh

I have a motion at #Edinburgh Council on Thursday to discontinue council’s use of X / twitter. Two reasons: Firstly, X has become increasingly lawless, a place of abuse & vitriol - members of the public shouldn’t need to engage with this to read council updates or report issues to the council.
