"My political understanding is this: if I am doing well, I want others to do well, too. I believe in the welfare state. I'm not privately insured. I would never vote for a party because they promised to lower the top tax rate. I'm on the left, of course." Love this quote

Ambulance workers could be the first facing the sack for taking strike action, under this Tory government’s new draconian laws. They are leading the march to protect the #RightToStrike, just as GCHQ workers did 40 years ago under Thatcher’s government #CheltenhamDemo

Great campaigning session for Katrina Murray MP in Stepps this afternoon. Really positive response from voters to Scottish Labour's #NewDeal for Working People #MakeWorkPay message. It's time people were allowed to vote for change!

🟩 Our comrades in Living Rent are rallying outside the parliament on Wednesday 27 November. This is ahead of the debate on stage 2 of the Housing Bill. This would bring in permanent systems of rent controls across Scotland. If you can find the time to attend, please do.
