BLACKADDER #1 FOR MID SCOTLAND & FIFE "Remodel Scottish Football Club Ownership, Mandate 50+1 Fan Ownership Rules"

Scotland is facing an influx of foreign investment in our community clubs. We must protect these much loved assets for years to come by putting the real ownership in the hands of the people who care the most.

We should legislate for fan ownership of football and sports clubs in Scotland.

BLACKADDER #1 FOR MID SCOTLAND AND FIFE Campaign poster "End the Scottish Football Alcohol Ban Improve fan experience, increase club revenue, respect supporters".

Football is back today but can I enjoy it with a cold beer? No. I could if it was rugby..

Football in Scotland is still a working class game but only in expensive hospitality suites can you enjoy a pint.

End the alcohol ban, help clubs make profit, respect fans. It's simple

As MSP I would pursue changes to legislation that meant housing developers making millions off the back of a housing crisis have to invest in the communities they are making first.

This would benefit communities as well as councils who will never have the capital to keep up.

"BLACKADDER #1 FOR MID SCOTLAND AND FIFE" CAMPAIGN POSTER "BUILD PLACES, NOT JUST HOUSES. HOUSING DEVELOPERS SHOULD BUILD COMMUNITIES, NOT JUST MASS PRODUCED NEW BUILD ESTATES"

We need more houses and we need them now, but where does that leave us in 5 and 10 years?
Without enough schools, doctors, dentists, sport and leisure facilities, public transport and community spaces.

If you are building a new estate of houses, you must build a new community.

This highlights exactly why buses should be taken into public ownership.

Public transport is supposed to serve exactly that - the public. Private companies like stagecoach put profit above the needs of people and leave communities without viable travel options

People are forced into car ownership

Fife needs a strong voice and champions in the Scottish Parliament that's why I'm supporting @ryanblackadder.bsky.social and @magssgp.bsky.social in their bids to be our next MSPs in Mid Scotland and Fife.

Their visions are exactly what Fife, the region and Scotland needs. πŸ’š

BLACKADDER #1 FOR MID SCOTLAND AND FIFE Campaign Poster "Finally overhaul Council Tax Tax the super rich"

Scots deserves a fairer deal. More money in their pockets from cheaper bills and lower taxes.

Tax the super-rich. Reform our outdated council tax. Fund local services properly - for people and planet.🌍

Back Blackadder #1 in Mid Scotland and Fife to lead that change.

Short Term Let Control Areas - Fife Council - Citizen Space Find and participate in activities run by Fife Council

πŸ“’ Attention those in Fife!

Fife Council's consultation on Short Term Lets (Airbnb's) in the Kingdom is open.

It's really important residents fill this in and help protect our coastal villages being overrun by absent landlords and key box neighbours coming and going.

BLACKADDER #1 FOR MID SCOTLAND AND FIFE Campaign poster "Extend free bus travel to Under 25s & Low income families Simplify tickets for Bus-Rail-Ferry travel"

One of the Scottish Green's proudest successes is the Under 22 free bus travel. Now we must keep extending it.

I would pursue expanding the eligibility to Under 25s and those on low income.

Transport is our biggest polluter & a huge personal expense. It must be affordable to leave the car at home.

Talking about Council sizing and efficiency isn't sexy, but it's important.

Next year will be 30 years since Scotland's Council set up was last reviewed and altered. For some, they are set up correctly - Fife is not.

Lets review our Councils and start by splitting Fife Council up!

Mid Scotland & Fife has huge potential for community energy – putting power (literally) back in local hands.

As your MSP, I’ll back towns and villages to set up repair hubs, food networks, and local energy projects that cut bills and build resilience.

There is no hiding for Ivan McKee and his colleagues any more.

They’ve called the application in and the decision now lies solely with Scottish Ministers. Anything but a definite refusal will be a stab in the back to Scotland that won’t be forgotten!

Demands must be made for Keir Starmer to set out the terms required to trigger another referendum.

To repeatedly deny the democratic will of Scotland is Tory continuation. They won’t allow it because they know they won’t win again.

Set the terms and let the people choose.
