Sun was shining for the @edinburghgreens.bsky.social doorknocking session around Pilton & Granton today. Lots of folk disillusioned with political parties who only serve the millionaires, and who'll be voting Green for the first time.

Congratulations to Hannah Spencer and our friends @greenparty.org.uk on their historic by-election victory in Gorton and Denton.
We will never let the politics of hate divide us. The Greens will always put people and planet before profit.

Following news that the council is expected to overshoot its carbon budget and is off track on cutting emissions, Greens called for a climate summit to get back on track.
That is happening today, with presentations from Council Leader, Finance Convenor & Transport Convenor.

Yeah you’re right Chris. The last thing the city needs is a bus service that’s cheaper and serves the needs of the city better. 🙄
(Lothian is great, but I think it could still be improved.)

Delighted to hear that Lothian buses services have returned to Henderson Street.

The motion aims for a constructive dialogue with key stakeholders in order to address concerns about the scheme in order to strengthen it, for the benefit of the city.
The fact that Stephen thinks this is weird tells you more about Stephen than about me, or the motion, TBH.
Eh? I support the scheme Stephen. I just want to see the concerns addressed. In what respect is that weird? 🤷♂️
I'm running in the Croft-a-thon today - laps of Leith Community Croft to raise money for the amazing #Leith organisation behind the Croft, Earth in Common. I'm aiming to run at least 10k.

Mark Carney saying quiet bit out loud.
"We knew [...] the strongest would exempt themselves when convenient. That trade rules were enforced asymmetrically. And that international law applied with varying rigour depending on the identity of the accused or the victim."
