Episode #94 with Holly Bruce

On today's episode I chat with the  Scottish Green Party Councillor Holly Bruce.  We look at why she sees herself as an activist first, and why she got into politics from a career in law.  Holly discusses her role as an councillor within the community; her role in passing a motion at Glasgow City Council,  making Glasgow 'UK's first feminist city' making women integral to “all aspects of planning, public realm design, policy development and budgets”.  We also have a dialogue about sustainability,  Indyref2, the impact of Brexit,  the effects of budget cuts to the community,  Holyrood and Westminster.  <br/><br/>Holly also talks about her Scottish heritage; how she manages her mental health; whom she would invite out for Karaoke, and of course, she shares the quote that continually inspires her.<br/><br/>Holly Bruce is the  Scottish Green Party Councillor for Langside Ward, Glasgow.<br/><br/><br/>Thanks for listening to the episode. I'd like to thank my guest for their time, insight and being a great sport! <br/><br/>I would also like to thank my producer, Ashanti Omkar, for all her hard work.<br/><br/>If you'd like to be a guest, drop me a line at theswingingpalmtree@gmail.com.<br/><br/>Be well & Pax Vobiscum!
