In today’s Sunday Mail I say austerity, a pandemic and an ongoing cost of living crisis has led to rising poverty, deep inequality and decreased living standards. People need a government to live true Labour Party values to make things better.

“Systemic change is needed” Yesterday, Keep Left: Red Paper on Scotland 2025, a new book on the 50th anniversary of Gordon Brown’s Red Paper on Scotland, was launched in Parliament. Here's the speech by editor Pauline Bryan. Vince Mills RedPaperCollective labourhub.org.uk/2025/07/10/sys…

“By the end of my speech, a Palestinian child will have been killed or maimed. Every sixteen minutes a Palestinian child is killed or maimed … I cannot believe how morally bereft one would have to be to justify Israel’s genocide.” - Dr Husam Zomlot

I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has sent their solidarity in light of today’s news of having the Labour whip temporarily suspended. Your support is incredible and it is the honour of my life to serve as the MP for Alloa & Grangemouth ❤️✊

Shaking up the PLP: Meet Neil Duncan-Jordan MP Neil recently had the Whip suspended for standing up for real Labour values. 🌹 Here, he talks about how he first got involved in politics and what advice he would give to the Labour Government.

This is a welcome, yet overdue move from Scottish Labour. Well done to our MSPs who have fought for this throughout their time in Office.

Today we celebrate the birthday of Scottish Labour's founder and one of our country's great heroes, Keir Hardie 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🌹

Why are your bills going up? Why can’t you get a house? Why are there cuts to the public services we rely on? Why is there millions of people needing foodbanks to survive? It’s not because of migrants. It’s because politics and politicians have failed us. Sunday Mail 👇

We are very sad to hear that Mercedes intends to stand down at the upcoming election. She has always been a strong socialist voice in Holyrood and will be a great loss to the chambers. We would like to thank her for her fantastic work over the last 4 years.

"This is an opportunity for a well overdue debate about the change of direction the country and Labour so desperately need." Our statement on Angela Rayner's resignation as Deputy Leader of the Labour Party. 🔽

This defeat is catastrophic. To win in 2026, the Labour leadership must embrace a socialist vision, implement a wealth tax, invest in public services, and deliver real change for Scotland’s communities.

A huge congratulations to Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani on his historic victory in New York City. 🗽 A hopeful, grassroots campaign centred on affordability and a progressive future has delivered a decisive win and a strong mandate for real, transformative change. #TurnTheVolumeUp

Fantastic news that the whip has been restored.Brian Leishman is Labour to his core and has stood up for Labour values when the Government has faltered. This should be the start of a course shift in the Party: standing up for workers and undoing austerity 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🚩

Labour's asylum proposals confirm the govt’s wholesale capitulation to the false narrative that immigration is 'tearing our country apart.' Only a politics rooted in the values of equality and solidarity can defeat the far right and deliver the policies the working class needs.

I've had lots of questions around me getting the whip back and why I wanted it back. It’s because I believe the Labour Party remains the most likely vehicle to deliver the change we desperately crave and the best place for me to effect that change is within the party 🌹
