Throughly enjoyed this wide-ranging discussion with Pat and Laura. Lots in there, from questions of democracy and ownership right through to André Gorz. Watch now: www.youtube.com/embed/u59xBv...

Andy Burnham’s ascendance has nudged the SNP out of its comfort zone. I wrote about why for The Herald: bit.ly/4gn81wm

Labour has become the cartel party par excellence. Divorced from the people they claim to serve, the narrow clique atop the Starmer project looks ever more like what Abbe Sieyes would call a "separate people". My column in the Morning Star: morningstaronline.co.uk/article/keir...

This week, the jury box threw a spanner in the works of the war machine. That’s exactly why Keir Starmer and David Lammy want to do away with it. My column in today’s @scotnational.bsky.social: www.pressreader.com/uk/the-natio...

"Scotland, as the seizure of the Marinera and its aftermath illustrate, is the vassal of a declining American empire – and our politicians can’t bring themselves to admit it." My latest for Conter: buff.ly/nsBDGAv

The Scottish Labour Party’s Holyrood representation has shrunk at every Scottish Parliament election since 1999. I’ve written for today’s Herald about why that isn’t about to change. Read online: bit.ly/3Ly57IK

In August, almost two million Vietnamese people donated to a major crowdfunding campaign for Cuba. It's the latest act in a long history of solidarity between the two peoples. I've written about that bond for the latest issue of Cuba Sí.

In this month's Conter column, I've written about Nicola Sturgeon's memoir and the reaction 'Frankly' received in a country still grappling with its author's departure from frontline politics. Link below.

Went to Arran for the first time today to speak at a packed out public meeting for Palestine 🇵🇸 with Katy Clark. Stunning setting, great meeting and the ferries ran smoothly!

Lively, if cold, march for Grangemouth’s future down the Royal Mile this morning. As was said plenty today, if we can’t have a just transition at Scotland’s last oil refinery, where can we have one? All eyes on both governments to act in the coming weeks.
