You played a significant role in this Dr Scott Arthur MP (Edinburgh South West) 🌍🌈🌹 … what's your explanation for forcing folk to buy new vehicles unnecessarily?

The Scottish Government's LEZ charging scheme is draconian ("extremely severe, or go further than what is right or necessary" Cambridge Dictionary). A small family car is charged the same as a HGV/bus/coach. A ridiculous assumption, that proves it is poorly thought out.

This seems like a sensible decision. What's your view Dr Scott Arthur MP (Edinburgh South West) 🌍🌈🌹 ?

What is the difference between cooperation, coordination & collaboration? 1) Cooperation - making sure our respective activities don't conflict; doesn't require high levels of trust, we just need to respect each other's space & activity. 2) Coordination - moving together towards

Pam Adkisson Jason Scott 🇨🇦 These are rates when the quota is met, which rarely if ever happens. The very deal Trump agreed and called it a fantastic deal. Maybe you should also see the American over quota tariffs as well.

Donald Trump's first 100 days have been characterized by the most flagrant corruption imaginable. Today, I want to talk about 10 of the absolute worst examples. (Thread 🧵)

The little "chit chats" we have at the start of a meeting or Teams call (where we talk about our weekends, the weather, our pets or the traffic) are really important. Research shows that they actually work as a neural 'warm-up' for a deeper connection. So the next time we get

Edinburgh Council's grand vision for George Street could cost in the region of £30m - £40m (possibly more). In the meantime, the residential areas continue to deteriorate - potholes, blocked drains, damaged pavements and weeds in the gutters.

Cllr Blair Anderson Glasgow Green Party Do you make this garbage up? Can you explain why the highest pollution in Glasgow is in locations that are restricted to buses and taxis - there are NO CARS.

GERS for Dummies. Scot Income £91 billion Scot Expenditure £117 billion Deficit £26 billion What does £26 billion look like? Well, Scotland spends £20 billion on Health. And £12 billion on Education. So support from our rUK friends and neighbours is extremely important.

Today's HIGHEST air pollution levels were measured in PEEBLES and the Scottish Borders - and Townhead in Glasgow (inside the LEZ). This is ground level ozone, and formation increases during warm sunny weather. Remember this, the next time you go for some fresh country air.

"Edinburgh road traffic continuing to rise for fourth year running" You mean the LEZ hasn't reduced the number of vehicles in the city. And claims that building more cycleways will get everyone out their cars were also wrong.

This was not my FOI request, but somebody else asked Scot Gov for all correspondence received on the subject of an independence referendum during the period 8th February- 8th May 2025. Just one item - a rather batty handwritten note to the First Minister - was released.

The inability of leaders to delegate is one of the most significant blockers in workforce productivity & in making change happen. So I appreciated this new article by Ro Fernandez that offers a refreshing perspective & practical actions. Teams often don’t see the pressure that their

Russia has no intention of attacking EU or Nato states, foreign minister says…. to be fair, they also said that about invading Ukraine. bbc.com/news/articles/…

It appears that the 2024 nitrogen dioxide measurements are being held back by @scottishEPA and the Scottish Government. Why? We are fast approaching 2026. If you compare 2023 and 2024, you will see that hundreds of measurements have been withheld.

Sam Taylor Peter A Smith This guy is happy to inflict decades of economic ruin on Scotland, hitting the poorest and most vulnerable people in our society first and hardest. That goes beyond immoral.

Sam Taylor Peter A Smith His ‘answer’ was ‘Pound Sterling’ (where his own millions are), but after ‘independence’ Scotland wud be removed from the Bank of England & Scottish banks unable to borrow Pound Sterling at base rate, so colonial currency is his ‘answer’ (‘answer’ so bad it’s a laughable fail)
