At the end of a chilly (3c!) afternoon speaking to residents in Duntocher with @DunGreens ahead of the Kilpatrick by-election on the 28th 🥶💚🗳️
Local bus services have recently improved, in large part due to @scottishgreens delivering free bus travel for young people 🚌
🗳️ The upcoming by-election this month gives people in Kilpatrick the opportunity to vote for a real community champion
💚 Our candidate for the Kilpatrick by-election is the brilliant Paula Baker
Vote 1️⃣ for the Scottish Greens on Thursday 28 November
We'll be out campaigning ahead of the Kilpatrick by-election. Join us for an action day!
We'll be meeting in Duntocher. Check your emails for more information.
Incidentally, apropos of *ahem* some Scottish Politics chat today, it's worth noting that the Holyrood is the only devolved legislature that still allows its members to hold dual mandate as an MP; it's banned in both the Senedd and Stormont. An oddity due fixing, you'd think.
A small levy on tickets at mega-events & stadium concerts could provide millions for Glasgow’s culture sector
While we need new laws to get private venues to act, @ChristyMearns & I have a motion before Council for the city-owned Hydro to pilot a levy 🏟️

Introducing free bus travel for people seeking asylum would be a small and compassionate change that would make a big difference.
On Wednesday I will join my Green colleagues in calling for the Scottish Government to live up to the promise it made.

A resounding unanimous defeat for Flamingoland - 14 votes to 0 to protect Loch Lomond 🌊
Credit to @Ross_Greer and @DunGreens for 8 years of effective campaigning along with the people of Balloch to save their community from big business and polluting mega-resorts! 🚫🦩
250+ more cars an hour at peak times. That's Flamingo Land's own estimate of their impact on local roads at Loch Lomond - roads which already grind to a halt during the tourist season
On Monday the National Park must reject this daft mega-resort 🫸🦩

🚨 BREAKING: National Park officers have recommended that their board REJECT Flamingo Land's mega-resort application!
This is an amazing victory for our campaign but it's not over yet. We'll keep campaigning for the board to vote to reject at the public hearing on 16 Sept 🫸🦩
