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 โœŠ๏ธ๐Ÿ’š

โ€œUkip use phrases like โ€˜these streets are our streetsโ€™ and โ€˜we will protect ourselvesโ€™. Well, they arenโ€™t their streets, they belong to the people of Glasgow.

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.

Prominent Greens member rules out running for leadership due to 'toxic culture' A prominent Scottish Greens member has ruled out standing in the leadership contest due to the "toxic" culture within the party ...

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.

Headline: Keir Starmer removes Labour whip from four persistent rebel MPs

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 ๐Ÿ’š

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 โœŠ๏ธ๐Ÿ’š

Dear stakeholder,

 

I am writing to let you know about a road closure required to carry out emergency repairs on a collapsed sewer in Glasgow.

 

There have been at least two collapses on an egg brick sewer under Blochairn Road, including one beneath the roundabout at the junction with Viewpark Avenue. As a result, Blochairn Road is closed between Viewpark Avenue and Royston Road.

 

Blochairn Place can still be accessed but only from Royston Road. Vehicles travelling north on Viewpark Avenue can only turn right onto Blochairn Road.

 

The road closure is needed to allow us to carry out excavations down to the damaged sections of sewer safely.

 

Everything will be done to mitigate any disruption, and we would like to thank all those affected for their patience and understanding.

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.

"tโ€™s a worrying trend โ€” thereโ€™s folk out there ready and willing to stoke division to the detriment of the community, only to benefit themselves and their own profile.

Major Glasgow housing estate 'an island' with no shops, no post box and no decent bus service The estate is a huge regeneration project that started ten years ago, but a local councillor has claimed residents there feel cut off.

Sighthill has been long missing the basics, like a bus, a shop, or even a postbox. โŒ๏ธ

I've urged First Bus again to redirect a bus route back through Sighthill again - it's the very least folk deserve, especially for our older population ๐ŸšŒ

Well until they stop failing to fund Local Councils, attacking trans folk, cracking down on prostesting, or pandering to Reform policies on immigration, I'll keep calling them out for failing to represent what their voters want - a progressive change from the Tories.

Zarah is right - it's (Eco!)Socialism, or Barbarism.

The question is how we lead that fight, especially in Scotland.

I believe the Scottish Greens can be that vehicle to fight for People & Planet before Profit - by working with communities, trade unions, & organisations old & new in Scotland ๐Ÿ’š ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ
