Proud to stand with so many trade unionists, community groups and activists, to say no to fascism and the far right. We can't let the billionaires divide us! Ordinary people need to stand together to demand a better world for all!

This is a disgrace! And a legacy of decades of political choices. Austerity was not inevitable, but a conscious decision. A decision that has seen the rich get richer, the rest of us get poorer, and children go hungry. app.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/story/full_p...

Ahead of Black Friday tomorrow, we've previewed the deal offered by the SG & COSLA. Who remembers the SG''s "Promise Now, Deliver 5 Years Later" deal offered in 2021? Always read the small print with these deals: who noticed it could only be delivered by the threat of industrial action?
