Mick McGahey was a working class hero. He should have a permanent legacy in our parliament.

Public safety before profit. The common good before private gain. These values should have guided us after Grenfell. They didn't.

A day to remember those men and women who fought with courage and conviction. And a day to celebrate that they never broke our spirit and they never defeated our class.

Any attack on Rafah is unconscionable. There is no justifiable reason on earth to bombard a region sheltering those who have already fled violence and persecution. End the killing. End the slaughter. #CeaseFireNow

Private Companies making millions in fossil fuels take millions in public money for tree planting in Scotland. The system is broken.

What is surprising to me is not that we have had strikes, it is that we have not had more of them. #MayDay

Looking for STV News this evening ? On Monday night 411,000 tuned in - making it the most watched evening programme. Tonight those viewing figures will be zero, as our @NUJofficial members at STV went on strike and joined picket lines. 1/
