@will4kilpatrick Congratulations William!

🟩 Our comrades in @Living_Rent are rallying outside the parliament on Wednesday 27 November. This is ahead of the debate on stage 2 of the Housing Bill. This would bring in permanent systems of rent controls across Scotland. If you can find the time to attend, please do.

LABOUR GAIN MIDLOTHIAN. Thank you for choosing change. We’ve got a lot to get done. So let’s get started.

Change is coming!

Great campaigning session for @katrinamurray71 in Stepps this afternoon. Really positive response from voters to @ScottishLabour's #NewDeal for Working People #MakeWorkPay message. It's time people were allowed to vote for change!

Ambulance workers could be the first facing the sack for taking strike action, under this Tory government’s new draconian laws. They are leading the march to protect the #RightToStrike, just as GCHQ workers did 40 years ago under Thatcher’s government #CheltenhamDemo

"My political understanding is this: if I am doing well, I want others to do well, too. I believe in the welfare state. I'm not privately insured. I would never vote for a party because they promised to lower the top tax rate. I'm on the left, of course." Love this quote from Jurgen Klopp.

What a rally! Personal, powerful, united. We say no to racism. We say no to fascism.

📣 Tomorrow! 📣 🤝 Join us as we come together to proudly say: From Erskine to Elgin, the far right is not welcome. 📅 Saturday 25th November, muster at 10.30am 📍 Glasgow Green
