I was tortured as a child because I was gay. Humiliated. Punished. Threatened. Denied healthcare. I very nearly died. If the Scottish Government are too afraid of the SNP right-wing to ban conversion therapy, spare us the bullshit excuses, do us the dignity of admitting it.

“Ministers have shelved plans to ban the abuse of LGBTQ people known as ‘conversion therapy.’ Their reason for doing so verges on dishonesty." www.heraldscotland.com/news... @kathleennutt.bsky.social

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.🧵

Delighted to meet Dennistoun's own Lulu this evening, who unveiled her own blue plaque as part of the new Glasgow Music Heritage Trail, which my colleague Green Cllr Christy Mearns has been championing 💚 This will be a great way to celebrate Glasgow's great musical heritage across the City 🎼

Data centre developers are only the latest example of industry vested interests trying to tell government how they prefer to be regulated. It's essential that the Scottish Government rejects their lobbying, and protects communities and the environment.

🔴NEW: A developer has been lobbying the Scottish Government to publicly endorse its definition of a ‘green’ data centre, according to documents obtained by The Ferret. Read the full story 👇

The SNP promised to expand the £2 bus fare cap in their first 100 days after the election. That deadline just passed. In the Highlands & Islands the cap has already shown what's possible when we prioritise affordable public transport. We can't allow progress to stall now.

Almost one year ago the Scottish Government supported Green proposals to boycott, divest from and sanction Israel. The vote passed in Parliament, a historic moment. So why have Ministers not done a single thing to implement it? www.thenational.scot/news/2642085...

Israel boycott failure 'undermining Scotland solidarity with Palestine', say Greens

THE Scottish Government's failure to implement a boycott of Israel is undermining its claims of solidarity with Palestine despite ministers…

For the second time in as many months Nazis have rioted in Glasgow. They targeted anyone who isn't white, as well as those daring to stand up to them. Reform's Thomas Kerr claims 'Scotland is lawless'. So will he condemn the Reform councillor who spoke at this 'rally' with violent Nazis?

People make Glasgow, Fascists don't.

The former CCA building has been an important part of Glasgow's cultural infrastructure for over 50 years. It must remain public, inclusive, and protected from any threat of commercialisation. The Scottish Government must commit to that, and soon.
