#Edinburgh Tram chestnut No 1: Trolley buses are a realistic alternative. No, they’re not. They simply do not provide the same capacity and are nowhere as efficient as metal wheels on metal rails.

Under Nicola Sturgeon & Humza Yousaf the Scottish Government rightly opposed the proposed Rosebank oil field.
John Swinney has sadly dropped that opposition and tried to avoid taking a position at all.
That's not good enough, so tomorrow the @scottishgreens.org will force a vote.

Every time someone claims that we can't afford to tackle the climate crisis, remind them that the top 2% have more wealth than half of Scotland's population combined.
The money is there, its just being hoarded by a greedy few.

This CEO says companies are getting hybrid wrong. It's not about mandating days in the office, he says.
Toptal CEO Taso Du Val advocates for an 80/20 hybrid model, in which employees work remotely 80% of the time, and meet at off-sites the other 20%.
