Paul Leinster @paulleinster.bsky.social · 16/06/2025There is a housing crisis & planning policy has to adapt.

Paul Leinster @paulleinster.bsky.social · 09/05/2025Notwithstanding that this is unenforceable, this basically requires trans people to out themselves multiple times a day, every time they use the toilet at work.

Paul Leinster @paulleinster.bsky.social · 27/02/2025There’s a very unique and specific bitterness in Glasgow Labour in that they only support the city when they’re running it. They’ll say they love Glasgow and claim they’d never talk it down but at the same time entirely refuse to acknowledge any good that happens. 000

Paul Leinster @paulleinster.bsky.social · 20/02/2025Glasgow Labour’s budget allocates a one off £40,000 to tackling the housing emergency, enough for one part time member of staff on a temporary contract. Meanwhile the SNP budget allocates £10 million. 054
Reposted by Paul LeinsterGlasgow SNP Group @glasgowsnp.bsky.social · 20/02/2025Before we even set our budget, Labour incompetence has slashed £40m from the total we have to spend on services. In addition to the £30m/year for Labour’s equal pay scandal, Rachel Reeves’ tax on jobs - which she’s fully funded in England - leaves us a further £10m short. 144
