Scots struggling to pay off council tax debt could be hit by higher bailiff fees

EXCLUSIVE: Glasgow MSP Holly Bruce warned higher debt collection fees would "punish the most vulnerable people who are already struggling".

Honestly, I’m tired. So many of us are just tired. To everyone who is dedicating their time to make life safer for women and girls, we owe you a great deal.

I’ve lodged an amendment to the Programme for Government calling for Scottish Child Payment to be increased to £55/week for all eligible children. ScotGov currently provides £28.20 a week for eligible under 16s, and has only committed to increasing to £40 for children under one - it's not enough.🧵

We need to stop blaming refugees for our broken housing system. Yesterday I joined Aamer Anwar, trade unions, cross-party politicians and activists for a press conference yesterday addressing the increase in racist violence in Glasgow.

It's time to build a Scotland without nuclear weapons.

81 years ago today, a nuclear bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. Three days later, Nagasaki was bombed. The bombings led to the mass slaughter of innocent civilians. We must do everything to rid the world of these weapons of indiscriminate mass destruction.🕊️

Great work @patrickharvie.bsky.social and @hollybruce.bsky.social Greens are calling for free bus travel to and from Hampden for anyone who has a ticket for a match or event at the stadium. This would lower costs for fans while relieving road congestion! www.heraldscotland.com/sport/257009...

Langside Councillor @hollybruce.bsky.social stands up for inclusive sports in our schools & grassroots community groups 🫂

I’m supporting Mount Florida Community Trust and the local community council in their campaign to retain Mount Florida Bowling Club as greenspace. Get along on Saturday if you can!

In what is almost a weekly event now, even more progressive legislation has been ditched by the Scottish Government. They really do seem determined to prove just how timid they can be. greens.scot/news/greens-...

Greens condemn ‘shameful’ SNP rollback on conversion practices and misogyny bill

The Scottish Government has dropped the Misogyny bill.

I’m appalled by this decision. I will be writing to the @scottishfa.bsky.social to understand why and who made this decision, whether trans athletes were consulted and if clubs were part of the decision making process. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

SFA bans trans women competing in women's football in Scotland

From next season, only those born biologically female will be allowed to take part in competitive matches in Scotland.

Trans People Make Glasgow 🏳️‍⚧️ It was fantastic seeing @scottishgreens.org women like @irisduane.bsky.social , @theelaineg.bsky.social , & @hollybruce.bsky.social speak proudly in solidarity today in George Square - which we will continue to do today & always ✊️💚

We'd urge people not to panic - there will be lots of commentary coming out quickly that is likely to deliberately overstate the impact that this decision is going to have on all trans people's lives. We'll say more as soon as we're able to. Please look out for yourselves and each other today 💗🏳️‍⚧️

I’ll always campaign for laws & policies to be improved to ensure trans folks can live with dignity and respect. @scottishtrans.bsky.social have called for the community not to panic & to try and seek solace and support. Sending love to the trans community today, and always.

Now on to Labour's motion on women's safety, @hollybruce.bsky.social brings Green amendments that looks to embed the fight against gender-based violence across the Council.💚

Next, @hollybruce.bsky.social highlights the rise of violence against women & girls on Public Transport, & what action will be taken to reduce this 💚

Sitting in on ARUP’s Feminist City Training with a huge room of Glasgow council officers (with many Heads of Service!). Applying a gendered lens is everyone’s job and I’m delighted GCC and the Feminist Urbanist group agreed to host the first of (I hope) many sessions.

A great final night of speaking to voters before the Southside Central By-election tomorrow! If you live in the area remember to vote Laura Vroomen #1 for a fairer, greener city. Polls are open from 7am - 10pm!

Yesterday we wrote to Glasgow MPs, highlighting our deep concern about decisions made by the UK government and the devastating impact they're having on Glasgow's health and social care services. Without additional funding, there will be approx. 140 job losses this year alone.

Restoring teacher numbers, no cuts to childcare, money to cleansing & cycleways, free public transport pilot, 8mil climate capital, continuation of the feminist city fund & investing money in the violence against women & girls team - lots of incredible wins in the budget. Now we need to deliver it.

Today is budget day! Your @scottishgreens.org Councillors have agreed a joint budget with the SNP to tackle the key needs for Glaswegians 💚 Here's a thread of what is in it 👇
