Let's move Doctor Who to Glasgow! Doctor Who can be the beating heart - or two - of our television industry if we can have it's production moved to Scotland 🏴
If Anas Sarwar cared only about serving in a UK Labour Government, why didn't he stand in the 2024 General Election when Labour were doing well & do it then? He clearly never cared about running a Scottish Government - he made skud all difference in Holyrood & treated it only as a stepping stone.
Tomorrow's front page 📰 Anas Sarwar set for Lords despite previously ruling out accepting peerage
Anas Sarwar going back on his own promises once again for his own ends? Colour me shocked. No wonder Greens bet Labour in his home city 💚
Today marks the 90th anniversary of the Spanish Civil War. A total of 549 Scots volunteered to fight in Spain. Proportionally more Scots volunteered than from any other country. We still have a lot of work to do in Scotland to tackle fascism, racism, and all forms of discrimination.
Supporting Sisters Against Cuts' protest, calling for permanent funding of womens' services, like the Murray Initiative ✊ It's a real women-led alternative to far-right exploitation of horrific sexual crimes by focusing on tackling gender-based violence & fight for services supporting survivors 💚

"No Scotland, No Nazis 🏴" Was the rallying cry of thousands of Glaswegians who stood up against hatred on our streets, & the handful of folk who brought it ✊ Glasgow Greens are proud to stand with our fellow Glaswegians against these hatemongers 💚
Bringing racist violence to our streets only brings injustice to the innocent. Enough.
Had a venture out today at last, to follow the Friends of Glasgow Royal Infirmary Glasgow Bee Trail! 🐝 It's a great activity to help explore the Glasgow Cathedral Precinct, & learn a lot about bees & the biodiversity of the area💚
🚨 BREAKING! 🟢 Yes: 72 🔴 No: 55 Scotland must have the right to choose our own future.
Back home after the fall, thanks everyone for the well wishes! I'm going to take some time to physically recover, as ended up with a broken arm & quite a dodgy knee - my support officer Gayle Wilson will be operating my email inbox for this next week and a bit of you need any help 💚
Just to say my Dennistoun Library surgery tomorrow morning is cancelled, I've had a bad tumble & will be having a different type of surgery! 💚 My support officer Gayle will pick up any casework this next week, if you email Anthony.carroll@glasgow.gov.uk 📩
Michelle Main was such a committed & passionate person for Sighthill & it's people. The appreciation of all she did for everyone she met was on show at her memorial service today, as folk had to stand outside the Crematorium today. She'll be sorely missed in Sighthill, & by everyone who knew her 💚
I'm not living the High Life after the production tonight got cancelled an hour before it was to start, but I did see the Sheep Detectives & had a greet 🐑
And people thought Dick van Dyke was bad... But Tomorrow Windows is a great read by @jonnymorris.bsky.social - do seek out a copy for a slice of absurdist 00's Who! 💚
We have a great time discussing this deranged, hilarious, clever and profound 11th hour EDA. Anthony joins me for the maddest reading of am outrageous scene towards the end. You have been warned! @2broad2deeppod.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/h...
Out with Cllr Carroll & Cllr Hutchison at the Kinning Park Spogomi with #NaeTrash & Get Govan Gleaming 💚 What a great initiative, but it’s worrying how much dirt is on our streets Whoever forms the government must ensure our councils are well funded so we have a well resourced cleansing service ✊🏾
Proposing the motion, @anthonycarroll.bsky.social lays bare what big parties are made up of, and quotes the words of a potential future Prime Minister on the need for Proportional Representation! 👀
It was my privilege and honour to be sworn in as a member of the Scottish Parliament today. Over the next 5 years I promise to work tirelessly to improve our standard of living in Glasgow 💚 Thank you for your trust in me ✊🏾
