Mick Lynch has been a highly effective representative of @RMTunion rail workers, and a leading voice for socialism and a better world.

I want all MSPs to recognise his outstanding contribution.

Anders Holch Povlsen, the Earl of Seafield, the Earl of Granville, the Earl of Sutherland, the Camerons of Lochiel, the Duke of Westminster.

Extreme wealth among the poverty of our Highlands and Islands.

What is wrong here is the way society and the economy are organised.

A ceasefire is the minimum.

For peace to triumph over war there must be an end to Israel’s occupation, and a free Palestine 🇵🇸

What is the government doing with @unitetheunion's plan for Grangemouth's future?

Workers who are weeks away from redundancy want to know.

This is the test: are we hostile or welcoming, racist or anti-racist?

There should be no billionaires

[Alex Nunns @alexnunns]

This is the best illustration of the obscene wealth of Elon Musk that I’ve seen.

Look how much rice he’s got!

We don’t have to organise our world like this.

Abolish the House of Lords

Waspi women have been very badly let down

They deserve justice

They deserve compensation

The fight carries on

[Representing Border @ITVBorderRB]

NEW: Former Scottish Labour leader says WASPI women have been 'very badly let down' by Keir Starmer's decision not to provide compensation.

Richard Leonard (@LabourRichard) says 'people across the Labour movement believe these women have been served an injustice'

[Richard Leonard @LabourRichard]

'This is wrong. We should be correcting this injustice for the benefit of Waspi women'

Spot on, @BrianLeishmanMP
