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.
"We crafted an amendment to the administration budget which would have stopped the slum lords, provided more accessible housing and better supported asylum seekers and refugees. It looks unlikely that any of these will be accepted today. Perhaps for Labour that doesnโt matter, I donโt expect them to be here next term either, but for the rest of us and for the city they have chosen to set us up for failure" Cllr Alex Staniforth, Finance Spokesperson
"I think we need to remember the folks drinking lead water, choosing between heating and eating, juggling childcare and work, kids who are developing asthma and life limiting conditions because of the ignorant obsession with cars over active and safe travel. Think of the people on the housing waiting lists, students with additional support needs. I started being happy to second our budget proposal but now end despondent at the state of this administration and chamber." Cllr Kayleigh Kinross-O'Neill, Co-convener
Budget Day in Edinburgh and it seems - as in past years - Labour will be teaming up with the Tories to get their budget passed๐
It's depressing when other parties put their own interests above those of the city, but Green Cllrs will continue to fight for public money to be spent for public good โ
Ahead of Edinburgh councils's imminent vote on its budget, the Chief Financial Officer has just advised that the Labour budget (as amended by the Tories) will reduce council income and ability to provide vital public services in future years - unprecedented ! ๐ฎ

Today the Edinburgh Green Councillors proposed radical changes to the Tourist Tax allocation. Sadly other parties were not open to protecting services, affordable transport or creating safer community environments. ๐ณ ๐ ๐ค
Latest on the 7-year Radical Road closure. Deadline to comment on an application for permanent fencing is 13 Jan. Hopefully @ramblersscotland.bsky.social is on the case - and anyone else who is fed up with this blocked historic path in Holyrood Park

Who's at Edinburgh Green Councillors festive bash tonight?
The National. While the media focuses on Reform, another party is growing. Column by Gillian Mackay. Quote: "Polling this week from Ipsos Mori pointed to a strong pro-independence majority and a Green surge in the Scottish Parliament."
Scotland's future can be that of a fairer, greener and independent country, where polluters, greedy landlords, and big corporations pay their fair share.

A Scottish Greens campaign event or group photo. A group of around 25 people pose together outdoors in front of a historic stone building, holding bright green โVote Greenโ and โScottish Greensโ signs. Most are smiling, dressed casually, and wearing green clothing or accessories. A small grey dog sits at the front beside a man kneeling.
A wonderful positive campaign but we fell just a little short of winning in Fountainbridge-Craiglockhart this time. Our 3rd place makes winning here in 2027 so much more likely.
This was incredibly disappointing ๐

In speaking, I mentioned the inspirational actions of Labour Cllrs in 1986 when opposing apartheid in South Africa โ
How far Labour has fallen that, now, in the face of a genocide, they refuse to use their power to oppose arms companies testing on Council land ๐ฅ
I'm proud to be bringing forward this motion to the Council's Culture and Communities committee today. Fingers crossed other Councillors support my calls.
