Today at Full Council I supported @anthonycarroll.bsky.social's amendment to an SNP motion condemning disinformation about asylum seekers and refugees, and reiterating that Glasgow is a welcoming city for those seeking refuge.

Today the order banning #PalestineAction as "terrorists" came into effect. But they are not terrorists. They are protesters trying to stop a genocide. This is a "first they came for ..." situation. Unless we stand in solidarity against this assault on our freedom, they will pick us off one by one.

Green politics should be about materially opposing fascism, not just saying "I told you so" when Farage becomes PM. It's incumbent on Greens to take the fight directly to Reform - we know that it's both Green ideas and Green votes at the ballot box next year that can defeat the far-right.

The UK is one of the wealthiest countries in history.

But that wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few, where it's used to buy yachts and private jets instead of building up public services.

A 1% wealth tax on net assets over £10 million could raise £10 billion a year.

The Independent. Time for a wealth tax, say Patriotic Millionaires as Rich List shows £772bn in the hands of just 350 families. Call comes after the the 2025 Sunday Times Rich List revealed the annual catalogue of Britain’s wealthiest people.

Starmer's abhorrent speech about immigration does not reflect our reality of a city which has benefited massively from migration and which values the contribution of migrants to our communities.

Glasgow Green Party @glasgowgreens.bsky.social · May 15

Seconding, @seonadhoy.bsky.social highlights the real life impact of Labour's divisive immigration policy.

quote: “I have been contacted this week by constituents in this situation who are very concerned about the change in timescales of what is already a lengthy and costly process.

This is causing very real stress to people who have chosen to contribute to our country and city, who now feel unappreciated and unwanted. We must do better.”

Four years ago we saw a community unite to peacefully protect their neighbours from detention.

This week we saw Prime Minister Keir Starmer mimicking Enoch Powell with speeches that vilify and scapegoat.

Scotland must be the party of Kenmure Street, not Downing Street.
