Visited the Doveryard Energy Recovery Facility today.

Impressed by the detail, focus, and thought given to community impact.

Grateful for their work with Towerlands Community Centre Garden & openness to future projects.

Thanks to Rachel, Alberto, Scott & Luke for the insight.

⚠️The CCC published expert advice on how the Scottish government can tackle the climate crisis.

📺 @davehawkey.bsky.social spoke to @laurapiper.bsky.social of STV to elucidate further: "What we need now is a policy package that can step up to deliver [the simple things recommended by the CCC]."

🌹 Happy International Workers’ Day!

Today we stand in solidarity with workers.

“Where trade unions are most firmly organised, there are the rights of the people most respected.”
~Keir Hardie

✊Solidarity isn’t just a word - it’s a forceful action!

Pope Francis has gone home to the Father, but his light remains with us.

He taught us to lead with love, to show compassion without judgment, and to welcome all with open arms.

May his spirit live on in how we care for one another.

#PopeFrancis

"He has risen- just as He said."

🌅 Today we celebrate the triumph of life over death, and the unshakable hope that Easter brings. May your heart be filled with peace, joy, and the promise of new beginnings.

Social Media has been a cesspit in the last 24hrs

People reading headlines of a near 100 page judgement but failing (spectacularly) to heed Lord Hodge's clear warnings

Meanwhile, the mis-information is rife, a small and already under-siege minority will feel even more vulnerable

Today is #PalmSunday, the day of Christ's triumphant arrival in Jerusalem.

As Matthew tells us:

'The crowds...shouted,

“Hosanna to the Son of David!”
“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”
“Hosanna in the highest heaven!”

I wish you all a Joyous and Blessed Holy Week.

So I was made aware of this "Trend" where you ask ChatGPT to create a Retro Toy Version of you.

So to cheer you all up...here is mine which will obviously be coming to a Toy Shop near you soon (As if!)

PS Why do I look like a character from the OG Fireman Sam!?

Utterly disgraceful that a Leader of the Opposition supported the decision to bar two MPs - in a parliamentary delegation - from entering Israel.

Why did they block them? Because the MPs dared speak out against the horrifying suffering of Palestinians.

Today, concerned parents & carers gathered outside Cunninghame House to protest the decision by the SNP Administration to cut School Crossing Patrollers.

I spent time listening to them, hearing their concerns and offering support.

This is a cut that didn't have to happen

But I know he will keep using his platform to advance the cause of workers ✊

Spent this morning in a fringe at #ScotLab25 hosted by @UofGPolicy.bsky.social

Some really interesting insights from Kez, Paul, Peter and Nicola

And some challenges to those of us in elected office that I will certainly be taking on board

Proud beyond words of Aaran and all our Young + Student members, trade unionists and the wider movement for standing up to heckling, bullying and intimidating behaviour to share the facts and show compassion in this mornings debate.

Some members let themselves down with their behaviour.

BBC Two - Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone Following young people trying to survive the Israel-Hamas war, hoping for a ceasefire.

Turn on BBC Two and watch this.

Children left fighting for their very survival in the face of indiscriminate killing.

The trauma these kids are experiencing is indescribable.

How anyone can watch this and think this is justifiable is beyond me.

#PotteryThrowdown

What is enjoy (sarcasm) is how #BBCLauraK et al act like it's a scandal that a 6 month old Labour Govt hasn't undone 15 years of Tory Austerity overnight...

The public aren't stupid, they don't expect a fairy godmother, they expect a Govt to do the work required to fix the mess.

She also spoke about the 4 pillars of the CCS:

"recognition for your contribution, partnership rooted in respect, participation so you can be heard and transparency, so that we all the information we need to come to shared diagnosis and prescriptions."

She also spoke on the Govt's pledge to introduce a 'Civil Society Covenant" saying:

"Implementing the Covenant is where we will start, but it won’t be where we will end. I want to see a new deal for the third sector in Scotland. That should start with multi-year funding."

Scotland Office Minister Kirsty McNeill tells the #SCVOGathering that:

“Civil society’s job is to inform conversations, challenge assumptions, pioneer new practice and give support that the state is unable, unwilling or not best placed to give"
