They’re admitting genocide with their whole chests now. That’s the level of impunity we’re dealing with.

@HarrietSergeant I don’t think kier starmer has been marching in support of the children of Gaza. In fact, I don’t think the two issues are linked in any way. But thank you for answering my question, you don’t know.

Telling the assisted dying bill isn't being discussed in the context of the scandal of deaths in the care sector during Covid.

A huge gap between the campaign and the real societal conditions faced especially by working class, disabled and elderly people.

[UNISON Scotland @unisonscot]

Today UNISON Scotland is hosting its first Social Care Workers Conference and we have a full house! Lots of fascinating discussions ahead and a packed agenda with exciting workshops, welcome to our #UNISONCareWorkersConference

This was one of the most ignorant and arrogant campaigns run by the Democrats. The lesson we’ve shown them is that people of conscience will stand up to a corrupt political class, and that facilitating genocide comes at a steep cost. There are no "lesser of two evils" when it comes to genocide — if that isn’t your red line, you have no red line at all.

Meanwhile, the people of Gaza continue to endure unimaginable horrors with no end in sight — and sadly, because of the bipartisan support for genocide, that will not end anytime soon. We must keep fighting for justice. We must keep organising. From the UK to the US, we need to break free from this two-party nightmare.

No more blaming Westminster.

The Scottish Government will have £3.4 billion by next year to properly invest in our public services.

It's time to put their money where their mouth is.

🚨Grangemouth

Those who presided over this catastrophic failure of our movement and our industry won’t be forgiven.

It will be left to those who are willing – @unitetheunion & our wider trade union movement – to fight on for Grangemouth. We will do so without fear or favour.

HUNDREDS of you have turned out at Holyrood to say no to the death of the arts in Scotland.

Together we’re sending our message loud and clear: Stop the cuts - tax wealth instead!

[STUC @ScottishTUC]

More than 14 years of Tory austerity has wreaked havoc with Scotland’s finances.

But the Scottish government isn't powerless and has made grave mistakes along the way.

Last year, we showed them an alternative. They didn't take it. Now, our communities look set to pay the price.
