Snippet from today discussing the Sheffield Asian Youth Movement and their support of miners at Orgreave. Towards the end, I highlight the formidable Anwar Ditta who took on the British state and won. She shared platforms with Arthur Scargill and Tony Benn.

A busy #GlasgowMayDay weekend and on Saturday Living Rent Glasgow lifted the champions cup for a second year in a row! Big shout out to Glasgow GMB Shona Thomson and Chris Mitchell for hosting the Football Tournament and Fundraiser. ⚽️🥅🏆

Thank you to Suki Sangha 🇵🇸 and the team at Glasgow Trade Unions for inviting me to Glasgow and for organising a fantastic series of Mayday events.

Enjoyed speaking about the rich tradition of political activism in the South Asian community today as part of the Glasgow Trade Unions programme.

Such a fruitful discussion with Raisah Ahmed and Aamer Anwar✊🏾🏳️‍🌈#BlackLivesMatter. Thanks to Jennifer McCarey for chairing.

The importance to allow the next generation to lead and speak out and South Asian Women. We all have stories to tell! I am reminded of MP Jo Cox’s maiden speech: “we are far more united and have far more in common than that which divides us”. Taj Ali Aamer Anwar✊🏾🏳️‍🌈#BlackLivesMatter Raisah Ahmed

The brilliant Suki Sangha 🇵🇸 pulled this panel together. It amplified the need for us to take control of our stories and be the ones to tell them. A privilege to sit on a panel with Taj Ali and Aamer Anwar✊🏾🏳️‍🌈#BlackLivesMatter - both doing incredible work, and masterfully chaired by Jennifer McCarey

A great event on ‘The story of South Asian resistance’ excellent speakers on the history and stories of their journey, activism, resistance and those that have gone before us. Reminded of my parent’s journey and growing up in Scotland. 1/2 #Glasgowmayday

📣 A wonderful Glasgow May Day for our branch!

This event this morning was always going to be my absolute highlight on the #GlasgowMayDay Glasgow Trade Unions programme. In convo with Taj Ali and guests Aamer Anwar✊🏾🏳️‍🌈#BlackLivesMatter and Raisah Ahmed exploring South Asian political resistance and chaired by Jennifer McCarey. Definitely more to come!

Great to see Keep Grangemouth Working at Glasgow Trade Unions’s May Day march. The workers’ message for a fair, secure and environmentally just future is clear: extend, invest and transition.

It certainly was. ^Neil

Feel blessed to have stood in solidarity with the Glasgow Trade Unions May Day rally 💪🏾

Amazing speakers followed by a live ska band in celebration of workers rights.

Rights were never given but fought for ✊🏾

Up the unions!
