🚨 BREAKING 🚨

One of Glasgow’s most prominent bar owners has *sacked * the chair of @GlasgowUnite days after he asked for time-off for @ScottishTUC & @unitetheunion youth conferences. No warning, disciplinary or representative.

This is trade union victimisation pure & simple.

[Stephen Smellie @stephenfs]

Keir Starmer has just came out against Labour policy which is in favour of Proportional Representation. Clearly he doesn't care about his own party's members or unions like #Unison who support PR.

[LCER @Labour4PR]

At a time when trust in politics is at a record low and it’s clear to millions of people that Westminster isn’t working, @Keir_Starmer has come out to defend our broken electoral system.

@David_Jamieson7 And Russia is also capitalist and seeks to develop trading blocks through military as well as economic power.

[Stephen Smellie @stephenfs]

@David_Jamieson7 Opposition to NATO is not the same as opposition to supporting Ukraine by allowing them the means to defend themselves against Russian imperialism.
