Did you know?! The statue at the UWS Paisley campus is of John Witherspoon, who owned slaves and campaigned against abolition?

If you agree that UWS must decolonise their campuses as well as the curriculum, support our student council policy and tell UWS to take down the statue!

It's disappointing to see @LabRenfrewshire fail to address this behaviour

“Everybody deserves to be able to elect politicians, and political parties, who stick to their word and their own policies.. Both Cllr Dowling and Labour have failed in their duty"

What a day! ☺️

Ngl, we’re still feeling proud of today’s amazing programme for government (PfG), in which @scottishgreens MSPs managed to secure some amazing progressive policies! 💚

Rent freezes, buffer zones, a ban on conversion therapy and more! Greens make a difference 🔥

[Renfrewshire & Inverclyde Greens @ren_inv_greens]

Despite acting like she knows what it's like to be from Paisley, her track record and policies prove she has absolutely zero idea.

There’s lots happening across different regions, and so make sure to get yourself down to a picket and support key workers! They deserve so much more than the below inflation pay awards they were offered✊

On Friday Nov 5 I’ll join the climate strike in Glasgow, during #COP26 Climate justice also means social justice and that we leave no one behind. So we invite everyone, especially the workers striking in Glasgow, to join us. See you there! #UprootTheSystem
