So good to see a direct link planned for South City Way & South West City Way, along Maxwell Rd. That'll bring proper network effects. 👇 The Maryhill Road route is going to be so impactful. Bringing the Garscube Road cycle lane to Maryhill proper for the first time. (Love the visualisations too!)

Devolution has allowed us to make choices like free university tuition, free bus travel for young people, and support for families through the Scottish Child Payment. We deserve a Parliament whose powers are respected, not treated as something for UK politicians to play with.

The National. We deserve a Parliament with powers respected by the UK. This week’s Tory conference has shown the very real threat that hangs over our parliament.

I'm basically a Mamdani-ist and have been for a long time before I heard of him. Radical social democracy, use the state to empower organising, be really positive all the time - talk up government. This is not a popular approach on the left in Scotland, especially Glasgow.

Unprotected bus stops lead to dangerous crush movements, even if everyone is careful & follows the rules. This leads to people cycling aggressively (jumping reds) or cycling on the pavement. Well designed floating bus stops make near misses & crashes between buses and cyclists almost impossible.
