In the 90s I produced and recorded a SNP fundraising album featuring SNP politicians (it wasn't a hit..). This was just lovely. I remember Alex being stage shy and Anne Lorna Gillies having to conduct him through the recording. He could really sing.

Please share and support this vitally important campaign to stop the closure of this very important working class museum

The fight for Scottish self determination and socialism goes on. My last campaign outing with Alex Salmond in July.

In response to the many heartfelt messages received. We have opened an online book of condolence for those who wish to pay their respects to our founding leader and former First Minister, Alex Salmond

'Rest in peace, Alex Salmond – but not too much, you still have work to do. Even in passing, your impact will continue to be debated, to divide and – yes – continue to inspire.'

Please enjoy the full #WhatTheX video report on the #SaveThePeoplesStory campaign - deputation by @JimSlaven to @Edinburgh_CC Culture committee. Inc comments from @CatrionaGrant & @GeorgeKerevan

Starmer is a disaster for Labour in Scotland

[Ballot Box Scotland @BallotBoxScot]

Pretty surprised by this one I have to say; this should have been Labour's to win based on 2022 results and shifts since. SNP started the day at risk of losing their Dundee majority, and have ended up growing it instead.

The Peoples Story must stay open permanently, working class history, something the Edinburgh Council can not ignore

[Bonnie Prince Bob @VoteBPB]

Edina owes a debt of gratitude to @JimSlaven - today he spoke for all of us at the Council’s Culture Committee. We need to support the #SaveThePeoplesStory campaign & raise our collective class consciousness against a political class operating against our interests. Cheers Jim 🫡

“It says everything about how working class people are treated - as an afterthought”

@JimSlaven gives a deputation to Edinburgh Council’s Culture Committee, on the recent closure of the city’s working class museum’The People’s Story’, amid threats it could be shut permanently.

@JimSlaven The Labour chair here is a member of Unison.

[Jim Slaven @JimSlaven]

Shamefully Labour (with Tory/LibDems support) voted to keep The People’s Story closed.

Thanks to cllrs who voted to reopen. Vote was 6-5.

#Edinburgh Council are not fit for purpose.

We deserve better.
We need change.
We’re only getting started.

[Ewan Gibbs @ewangibbs]

An important show of support for the People's Story from historians and other colleagues at Edinburgh University.

Academic, community and trade union voices have been united in opposing the closure of Edinburgh's working-class history museum. The council must see sense on it.

[Neil Findlay @Neilsocialist]

ALL the political parties across Edinburgh MUST commit to keeping this vital piece of working class heritage open no ifs no buts

[STUC @ScottishTUC]

The STUC has written to Cllr Cammy Day, City of Edinburgh Council Leader, urging the Council to urgently re-open the People’s Story museum.

The museum has been closed in advance of a debate on a proposal for the temporary closure of the museum.

[George Kerevan @GeorgeKerevan]

Edinburgh Council is trying to close the city’s People’s Story museum of local and labour history.
