The future is always up for grabs: in his University of Glasgow rectorial address, Ghassan Abu Sitta observes that when Winnie Mandela was elected Rector in 1987, one could never have foreseen that a post-apartheid South Africa would charge Israel with genocide at the Int. Court of Justice.

We are really excited about the upcoming youth consultation with young people in Whitiench/ Scotstoun (& surrounding area) about their local park! We'll be working together with the brilliant folk from Victoria Park Community Trust, Glasgow to find out what young people want to see in Victoria Park.…

Proud moment as fellow alumni Palestinian Dr. Abu-Sittah becomes Rector University of Glasgow & addresses students “Our revenge will be the laughter of our children” dedicates his victory to over 40,000 dead in Gaza, members of his family & colleagues murdered by the state of Israel 🇵🇸❤️

85k signatures just now, requires 100k before the uk gov will consider it.

Visas were provided for Ukrainians fleeing, Palestinians are trying to survive a fucking genocide, they deserve the same safety & right to rebuild their lives.

Refugees in the asylum system being shunted around like cattle, forced into barracks and overcrowded hotel rooms.

All government choices to punish people for needing to be here.

Here's hoping that following the General Election we have more MPs that can articulate themselves in this way rather than the persistent, intentional stoking of fear over non-issues to try to gain votes. Current Tory and Labour positioning is disgusting.

A short, initial response to the Cass Report.

Trans Healthcare is vital to protecting and supporting the rights and lives of trans people. Scottish Greens will oppose any moves to increase the age of accessing gender affirming care to 25.

What's changing is rules for new buildings & major conversions applying for a building warrant from this month.

It has nothing to do with existing heating systems, or replacements that aren't part of a building conversion. There are exemptions for emergency heating systems too.
