Today, together with all @glasgowgreens.bsky.social councillors, I wrote to the Foreign Secretary demanding urgent action to secure the safe release by Israel of humanitarian responders it has illegally detained, including my constituent Saddaqat Khan.

This is stunning @glasgowcoa.bsky.social! Thanks x 1 million. #Glasgow850 #LetGlasgowFlourish

@jonmolyneux.bsky.social was elected as the 1st ever Scottish Greens councillor for Pollokshields in 2017. He is a fantastic asset to our party and has advocated for greener & safer neighbourhoods and campaigned to keep vital community assets open. I'm delighted to have his support for co-leader!

The Glasgow Way walkers finally reached the end, after walking 111 miles across the City!🚶‍♂️ Well done to @jonmolyneux.bsky.social , Gordon & all who took part, raising over £1,750 for Tumour Support Scotland 💚 You can still donate to their cause below 👇 www.justgiving.com/page/theglas...

I have good news if you live in Pollokshields and dislike fireworks. open.substack.com/pub/cllrjonm...

The non-Green Scottish left haven't managed better than 0.9% in the Scottish elections since 2007, even after several attempts setting up new parties to try. Why? Because there already is a party of the progressive left in Scotland, and it has councillors and MSPs across the country.

Thanks to @jonmolyneux.bsky.social for these pics of what is possibly the most northerly CoA in the city! Jon says, "At Possil Marsh. Commemorates a meteorite strike that happened there in the 1800s. Remnants of which are now in the Hunterian." ☄️🐦🌳🔔🐟

"We know the solutions Reform are selling are nothing but snake oil, scapegoating migrants for our problems when the real threat is those who are hoarding vast wealth." - @jonmolyneux.bsky.social www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/2527294...

Proposing the motion, @blairanderson35.bsky.social says that the terrorists aren't those protesting what is happening in Gaza, but those perpetrating it ❌️

We now move to our emergency motion calling out the UK Government proscribing Palestine Action 🇵🇸

Thomas Kerr has more time for the TV cameras than he has for his constituents. It's time he did the job people pay him for and open his snake oil 'solutions' up to proper public scrutiny.

What a surprise. The BBC profiling defector Reform folk - who have skud all election success - over Greens who won 8 seats in the Scottish Parliament, & dozens of Cllrs up & down the country. Time the BBC stop acting like clickbait tabloids & actual allow represenative panels of the country.

Summer Sessions begin in Bellahouston Park today. With TRNSMT in Glasgow Green to follow, that’s six weeks in the height of summer when parks are fenced off to the public. Glasgow needs a purpose-built festival space like Parc del Forum in Barcelona. 👉 www.glasgowlive.co.uk/news/glasgow...

“In all of this one thing matters more than anything and that’s that Kneecap isn’t the story. The genocide and humanitarian crisis in Gaza is the story and we all have a duty to speak out on that.” - @jonmolyneux.bsky.social www.glasgowlive.co.uk/news/glasgow...

✍️ Latest @glasgowtimes.bsky.social column mixes football and politics. TL;DR: Everton are magic, Keir Starmer is tragic. Down with division and up the (expletive) Toffees. 💚💙 👉 www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/2517052...

Today is Full Council in Glasgow! 💚 Here's a thread on what your Green Councillors are doing 👇

Proposing the motion, @jonmolyneux.bsky.social highlights that while Labour ministers wine & dine with Israeli organisations last night, 40 people were killed by the Israel's bombs in Gaza.

Today is April's Full Council Meeting! Here is a thread on your Green Councillor's work at today's meeting 👇

Bringing the motion, @jonmolyneux.bsky.social highlights the burden further cuts are bringing to service users & workers alike ❌️

The response: 💥 2,437 Glaswegians responded 💥 86% backed a citywide ban The council must act on this overwhelming support and properly protect vulnerable people and animals from fireworks misery.

I also popped to see Green Glasgow City councillors @anthonycarroll.bsky.social & @jonmolyneux.bsky.social to talk budgets, devolution & rent caps - in very ornate city Chambers!

Hats off to everyone who made The Thistle happen, years of hard work to open the UK's first drug consumption room. Wonderful to be in a space FOR people who use drugs, where they are treated with dignity & have access to health & care services. Some reflections 🧵

It's been a privilege to hold a leadership role in the Scottish Greens for so long. But now it's time for a new face to join the leadership team. Many thanks to everyone who has helped the party grow and develop, and given me the chance to play a role. greens.scot/Patrick-Lead...

Across the time Patrick Harvie has served in a leadership role, the Scottish Greens have been transformed into a vital and credible force in Scottish politics. His role in that cannot be understated. He deserves our sincerest thanks as he steps down as co-leader.

Sun is out, Reform failed to win any by-elections (despite pulling national resources to the North East), & the East End Green team is ready for the weekend 😎 Also big well done to Laura in Southside Central for our best ever result there, & coming ~150 votes from winning! 💚

Yesterday we wrote to Glasgow MPs, highlighting our deep concern about decisions made by the UK government and the devastating impact they're having on Glasgow's health and social care services. Without additional funding, there will be approx. 140 job losses this year alone.

Thanks to the Glasgow Bell for the chance to talk about local tax. We need to be doing a lot more than just piecemeal devolution of powers and tweaking the current, regressive council tax. All parties should be pushing for substantial reform in the next parliament.

The power of Crufts compels you.

We agreed to recruit 100 more parking attendants in the Council budget last week. When those jobs come to advert, please let it be known that anyone signing up for them would truly be doing the Lord’s work. Pics: Nithsdale Rd, earlier.

We will always stand by and support Scotland's trans community! 🏳️‍⚧️

Glasgow's only Reform UK councillor resigns as Bailie of City of Glasgow after defection from Conservatives. “It’s good that Councillor Kerr realises that he no longer has a democratic mandate to hold any of the offices he does in the council.” www.thenational.scot/news/2494573...

I wrote about football, family, memory and loss. About going to watch Everton with my dad, taking my son to Goodison for a final pilgrimage and why that place means so much to so many of us 💙>> www.theguardian.com/football/202...
