Cllr Anthony Carroll
Scottish Green Councillor for Dennistoun Ward | 28 | Doctor Who | Glasgow | 🍉 | 🏴 |
- Over 100 people came at short notice to support St Paul's Molendinar Centre, faced with closure after UK Government funding changes. I'll be working with them to make the case for funding to any and all partners who can help - they are a vital space for Blackhill & Germiston 💚
- An honour to be part of Glasgow's Holocaust Memorial Day event along with our city's pupils.🕯️ Remembering the atrocities of the past must fuel our fight for a future free of oppression for all 💚
- Yesterday many gathered at Buchanan steps in solidarity with those in Minnesota who are standing up to the ICE regime & their killings ❌ They have brought death and destruction to communities - we must resist Reform & Tory plans to have an UK-style ICE here ✊
- Looking forward to seeing an eco-socialist @greenparty.org.uk MP elected for Denton & Gorton, not a stooge for Starmer. Best of luck to @zackpolanski.bsky.social & Co down south - it's time for people & planet over profit 💚✊

- So while standing in May's election for Glasgow Southside, George Galloway goes headline-chasing down south. Clear he doesn't care a jot for Glasgow or Gorton - I hope we'll see @hollybruce.bsky.social as the 1st Green MSP for Glasgow Southside, & a 1st Green MP for Gorton & Denton 💚
- Reposted by Cllr Anthony CarrollHelp us make hope normal again. Join the Green Party now.
- Reposted by Cllr Anthony CarrollWe're delighted to announce @irisduane.bsky.social is your Scottish Green candidate for Glasgow Kelvin & Maryhill. Iris is a fierce advocate for action on the housing emergency & making public transport for people not profit 💚 Help elect a record number of MSPs for Glasgow in May ✊
- How can we trust Scottish Labour to take buses into public control, when they take £100ks from private owners hell bent on stopping it? 🤔
- Fàilte gu Baile Chloichridh, Russell T Davies 🏴
- Tomorrow, Nigel Farage hand-picks Reform's Scottish leader. If he can't trust his members to lead his party or select their MSPs, why should Scots trust Reform? 🏴 Folk want MSPs to stand up for them, not ex-Tory puppets in Parliament controlled by Farage ❌
- Pitfull politics from Skud All Sarwar. He pops up on umpteen ads & social media posts, but him & Labour do Skud All in their actual jobs negotiating for Scotland's People & our Planet before Profit ✊ If you want MSPs who will do that job, then you know Greens will do when Labour can't be arsed 💚
- Whether it's an defected Tory Lord, a defected Tory MSP, or a defected Tory Councillor - they will all be Farage's appointed puppet who'll do skud all for Scotland ❌ Voters can elect fighters for Scotland or for Farage - I know who I'll be siding with 🏴💚✊ www.heraldscotland.com/news/2574648...
- Putin's invasion of Ukraine rightly led to boycotts, divestment, and sanctions. As the USA installs itself as rulers of Venezuela, Europe must consider making similar measures against the American regime. Stand against imperial warlords, be they Putin or Trump.
- Reposted by Cllr Anthony CarrollWhatever you might think of Maduro, the seizure and kidnapping of a head of state takes us to a very dark place. Vast, arbitrary, extra-legal power, which could be exercised almost anywhere, regardless of the character of the target government.
- I spoke at the rally of work Green Councillors have done, including those now in Your Party. Building a popular movement against those who wish to truly wreck our communities like Reform isn't done via petty tweeting, but working where we can for Scotland's People & our Planet before Profit ✊💚

- Far-right mob plans protest over migrants’ English class at primary school www.thetimes.com/article/badd...
- Dalmarnock Primary's been offering family learning for years. It's sad *some* parents are boycotting a school cause asylum seeker families get that support too via ESOL. Funny how certain folk never raised PVG concerns for other family learning on offer... www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/2564201...
