Talking about Council sizing and efficiency isnt sexy, but it's important Next year will be 30 years since Scotland's Council set up was last reviewed and altered. For some, they are set up correctly - Fife is not Lets review our Councils and start by splitting Fife Council up!

Excellent day in Cupar yesterday for the Fife Greens AGM. A great turn out and an excellent walk down the river Eden afterwards (with tour guide supremo Fergus). Lucky to have such an energised branch, ready for another campaign year 🗳️

We’re sitting on a goldmine of green potential in Mid Scotland & Fife and yet it’s being wasted. While other parties drag their feet, we’re ready to invest in people, protect nature and show the world our natural wonder. I'm the one to help get it done. 🌍 Vote Blackadder #1

One of the Scottish Green's proudest successes is the Under 22 free bus travel. Now we must keep extending it I would pursue expanding the eligibility to Under 25s and those on low income. Transport is our biggest polluter & a huge personal expense. We need affordable transport

📢 Attention those in Fife! Fife Council's consultation on Short Term Lets (airbnb's) in the Kingdom is open. It's really important residents fill this in and help protect our coastal villages being overrun by absent landlords and key box neighbours coming and going.

Scots deserves a fairer deal. More money in their pockets from cheaper bills and lower taxes. Tax the super-rich. Reform our outdated council tax. Fund local services properly - for people and planet.🌍 Back Blackadder #1 in Mid Scotland and Fife to lead that change.

Good on Patrick holding Robertson and the Scottish Government to account over their complicity in arming Israel to commit genocide. Let’s not forget the Cabinet Secretary was happy to meet Israeli officials on the sly last year.

This highlights exactly why buses should be taken into public ownership. Public transport is supposed to serve exactly that - the public. Private companies like stagecoach put profit above the needs of people and leave communities without viable travel options.

Scotland is facing an influx of foreign investment in our community clubs. We must protect these much loved assets for years to come by putting the real ownership in the hands of the people who care the most. We should legislate for fan ownership of football and sports clubs.

With voting now open, I am delighted to have the support of Morven Ovenstone-Jones, Co Convenor of North East Fife Branch & recent Fife Co Convenor. "Ryan has the vision and drive to deliver for communities across Scotland. That's why I'm backing Ryan for Mid-Scotland & Fife #1"
