Glasgow had a fully electrified tram network a century ago that provided for most of the city's travel needs, we don't need no fancy solutions!
Instead of trying to green cars so much why don't we just invest in trains. city trains. under ground trains. above ground trains. trains between cities. trains between countries. TRAINS

There's a weird belief in this country that when the public vote in a referendum, that electorate becomes an eternal arbiter of that issue.
It's like the people who insist that the Scottish independence issue is settled because an electorate that no longer exists voted on it over a decade ago.

Political parties stop selecting terrible candidates for East Kilbride challenge (difficulty: impossible).
in 2019 the people of East Kilbride elected an SNP MP who defected to the Tories, and in 2024 they elected a Labour MP who might as well defect to Reform
A Scottish Labour MP has accused the SNP of turning Glasgow into a "sanctuary" for asylum seekers as a homelessness crisis in the city worsens.
