This appalling case of an elderly tenant with multiple sclerosis struggling up to her third‑floor flat is not a one‑off. It is the result SNP austerity and weak regulations that enable landlords and factors to neglect basic repairs while tenants suffer!

The FWS legal challenge attacking trans women’s right to be held in women’s prisons is dangerous and dehumanising. Trans women are women, and denying their safety is a violation of basic human rights. We condemn this legal review as the latest assault on trans people's civil rights and dignity.

Graphic from Your Party Edinburgh & Lothians with a trans pride flag, condemning the ‘For Women Scotland’ legal action against the Scottish government over trans women in prisons. The text denounces the case as transphobic, warns that placing trans women in men’s prisons violates human rights, and expresses solidarity with trans people. A news headline about the court case appears at the bottom.

After an internal BBC leak revealed that its staff was directed to obfuscate the lawless kidnapping of Venezuela’s President, the BBC is now depicting Trump’s threats to invade and annex Greenland as “US Greenland Plans” and “using the American military to acquire Greenland”.

Coming off the humiliating apology BBC bosses wrote to Trump for their editing of his January 6 speech, Trump’s lawsuit has easily cowered these "journalists", who bow so low to power. Now, they launder his every word.

Bombing a sovereign nation and kidnapping the President is the behaviour of a cowboy state. The United States’ attack on Venezuela is illegal — and it is utterly shameful that the UK government refuses to condemn this reckless act of war.

Donald Trump won’t stop with Venezuela. Cuba, Greenland, Colombia and Mexico are already in his crosshairs. This is U.S. imperialism, plain and simple — and it must be resisted in all its forms.

Our inaugural branch meeting was a blast! We agreed a branch structure, set in motion dozens of member actions in our breakout groups and will be running our first committee elections THIS MONTH 😱

A group photo showing dozens of people standing on stage - there are tables in front of them littered with coffee cups and meeting notes, while screens behind them show the last of our meeting slides. Everything is a little bit pinker than you'd expect, as the hall we were in was heated by infrared lamps to keep us cozy on a brisk wintery evening 🥶

We remember our murdered siblings not only as victims of an unjust world, but as part of a movement of resistance. We hope that our trans and non-binary siblings can take time today to remember and to grieve. Tomorrow, we turn those feelings into determination.

Title: TRANS DAY OF REMEMBERANCE
Body: We hope that all of our trans and non-binary siblings can take some time today to remember and to grieve. Tomorrow, we will turn those feelings into a determination to make the world a better place.

Body: We recognise the 360 known trans and non-binary people who have lost their lives prematurely this year. The true number of those lost is likely to be higher due to underreporting and misrepresentation of trans identity in the media and police reports.

Honouring their memory is not just about mourning but also demanding justice. Systemic failures in healthcare, policing, housing and employment frequently leave trans people vulnerable.

Body: 78% of those killed in transphobic hate crimes were trans women of colour. We must be explicitly clear that the intersections of racism, misogyny and transphobia put trans women of colour in the most danger. Trans liberation is impossible without an uncompromising struggle against racism, misogyny, ableism and all other forms of oppression.
