Imagine if they spent £22 billion on restoring peat bogs, the oceans, forests (proven carbon capture), or on public transport, insulation, solar – literally anything but this, which is just playing into the hands of the fossil fuel bros and delaying the transition to green energy

In Edinburgh we got cross-party support (sans Tories) for my motion calling on Scottish Government to deliver their pledge to introduce free bus travel for asylum seekers at the last Full Council - really hope parliament follows in our steps today!

🟢Yes: 68 🔴No: 27 The Scottish Parliament, including the SNP, has just voted for our motion that bus travel should be free for people seeking asylum in Scotland! After opposing the policy in August, the Scottish Government must now confirm how they will progress the scheme.

📢 "Getting on a bus in Edinburgh is a simple thing that many do not think twice about ... a survey by Asylum Matters 🧡 of 300 people seeking asylum found 95% were not able to travel where they needed to by public transport." | @LornaSlater / @EdinburghPaper edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/opinion/c…

Reactions to this are depressingly predictable. Politician safety is a real issue and it is entirely appropriate that cllrs should be offered protection. Disagreement and protest is important, but death threats and harassment should be unacceptable.

It's sickening. It's frightening. If we still believe in democracy, in human rights, in climate action, in justice for the occupied and the marginalised, then we need to reach out to those he threatens the most. They are the people with whom we need a 'special relationship'.

This very sad news underlines the importance of having, as Greens have campaigned for, a Firework Control Zone across the whole city bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
