This is a direct result of council blunders and a shameful decision of Labour, Lib Dem & Tory councillors to rip these protections out. Kids and other vulnerable road users will be in more road danger as a result. Absolutely shameful.

Absolutely gutted for the brilliant Mags Hall, who missed out by 0.1%, with IGV taking 0.9%. Meanwhile in Argyll and Bute, *voting staff* mixed up the IGV and SGP *during the count*. Very, very big questions for the Electoral Commission.

People need to be informed on the sham political group 'Independent Green Voice', who's sole purpose is to reduce the Scottish Greens' vote share on the regional ballot. SGs should actually make reference to it in their party political broadcasts and TV debates, seeing as they lost seats last time.

As I was made to wait 2.5 minutes to cross a road this morning, let's again do the maths simple.ghost.io/lets-do-the-...

20's Plenty for Us @20splenty.bsky.social · 15/02/2026
The evidence from the 2 years since Wales set a 20mph default for urban/village roads is clear:- 1,270 fewer casualties 134 fewer of them being fatal or serious £45 pa lower insurance premiums than without 20 These are big wins for communities, NHS, emergency services and economy. 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀

absolutely batshit insane for a government to drag out the fuel duty "freeze" (annual tax cut) even further

This. This right here is why proper cycling infrastructure is an investment in our communities and our future. It is only the beginning. This route isn’t even fully finished. When we stop imagining and start doing, change happens. @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social @edi.bike @chasbooth.bsky.social
8am on a frosty morning. The morning light not yet showing the sunrise. A small child wearing a pink puffy coat & matching helmet with a Hey Dougie backpack rides a small 16” wheeled bike with streamers on the handlebars. 

She’s on a newly built bike lane about to cross a bridge. For context, her mother runs alongside on the pavement just out of frame. 

There is a road marker showing a bike indicating this segregated cycle lane is for two wheels only. And this little girl is alone on the path riding towards the future.

We take no joy criticising a young left-wing UK political figure who has often spoken up for workers' rights and progressive causes. But these barely coherent comments from Zarah Sultana on Ukraine sum up much of what is wrong with her wing of the left www.instagram.com/reel/DQT62ys...

I know this is very much a secondary point when the US is on a rapid slide towards total and unadulterated fascism but... A @greens4hs2.bsky.social tee has appeared in Washington DC. Which is kinda blowing my mind. Never underestimate the power of angry train nerds. We might yet change the world.

And remember that below about the 25th income percentile, a household is unlikely to have access to car. They depend on public transport instead. Labour's response? Subsidise those who can afford cars, reduce support to those who can't

This is why things like fuel duty freezes are just a tax break for the richest.

The #Roseburn Path is indeed glorious on a day like this and the present amenity will be reduced when the railway is restored, but that’s not reason enough to abandon the only feasible tram route to the north and the environmental and social benefits that will bring.

As ever, road policing in Scotland is reactive rather than proactive. Chances are this won't be the first time the driver has been a criminal in their car. The cost of inaction is measured in lives and broken bodies.

Call it what it is. Trump is explicitly stating he wants to forcibly displace Palestinians. As per the Genocide Convention, this is an absolute call for genocide by the United States President. This isn't a matter you "debate". It is something you condemn, no questions asked. #r4today
Article I 
The Contracting Parties confirm that genocide, whether committed in time of peace or in 
time of war, is a crime under international law which they undertake to prevent and to 
punish. 
Article II 
In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with 
intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as 
such: 
(a) Killing members of the group; 
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; 
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its 
physical destruction in whole or in part; 
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; 
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
