Fantastic canvassing session through in Tollcross today. Shettleston is now stuck with a Reform UK Cllr despite not voting for one - the fact is Reform is a party of the billionaire elite - it's only Greens who will fight to fund public services and improve working class lives.

Thomas Kerr defecting to Reform is a slap in the face to voters in the East End. If he wants to represent an extremist fringe of the Right Wing, he should let Shettleston residents decide if that's what they want & call a by-election.
NEW: Glasgow councillor Thomas Kerr has defected from the Scottish Conservatives to Reform UK. It means the Tories only have one councillor left in Glasgow

People want action on the crises in: - housing 🏘 - public services ✊️ - our climate 💚 All Reform offer is snake oil, not solutions. Will they stand up against austerity & invest in our communities? 🤔 Will they heck. But Greens must, when others try to con communities.

The only *AI* that will deal with potholes will be *An Increase* of budgets to Local Councils. Stop Austerity instead of slopping AI into everything.

Great to visit the Thistle - the UK's first safer drug consumption facility - this afternoon, before it opens on Monday. I truly hope it will bring harm reduction to drug users in Glasgow, & open up pathways to tackle addictions for users 💚

The single best analysis I've seen all day of Labour's weak decision to abstain on the Scottish budget without having done anything to make it better. 🥀 @_AnthonyCarroll is spot on as always. 👏 https://t.co/w72G2RESbs

The Avenues Project is starting on Duke St & John Knox St! 💚 This will start bringing segregated active travel route from the City Centre to the East End - hope we can see connections made further East in the future 🚴🏿♀️
Work has now begun to improve the public realm at Duke Street and John Knox Street through the Avenues Plus project there, which will improve the area's look and feel and (through the historic Molendinar Burn) reduce local flooding risk. Find out more 👉 https://t.co/Yst9XSH6NZ

➡️We have a plan to make rent more affordable across Scotland. Scottish Greens introduced a bill to limit rent rises, and make housing a right. Now we are fighting against landlords attempts to water it down. Only the Scottish Greens put people's homes before landlord profit.

Musk is one of the most dangerous people in the world and tweeted horrendous incitements about one of Streeting's colleagues, yet Streeting continues to lick the billionaire's boots. Utterly depraved. https://t.co/JMYHuYfUII

Wes Streeting offered an olive branch to Elon Musk following his attacks on the UK government after Labour rejected a call for a national inquiry into child grooming. The billionaire X owner trigge...

Find it odd Labour saying they're raising Festive Waste collection issues in Full Council when...they didn't? Here was my question on front door pickup to the Convenor at Full Council, & asking for Cllr scrutiny of winter waste strategies. 👇

Labour would rather take support from the Tories than allow a progressive administration to run Edinburgh. Absolutely disgraceful.
BREAKING No change at Edinburgh Council - Labour stays in power supoorted by Lib Dems and Tories despite losing their leader and being deeply divided

Whitehill Pool update 🏊♂️ Hopefully we will now have a clearer picture at February's Capital Programme Board to know how much it'll cost & what work is needing done in detail. Glasgow Life must prioritise funding this work to see the Pool opened as soon as feasibly possible 💚
