Farewell to Andy Kerr, a thoughtful, brave person who led the first national strike of British call centre workers in 2022, fought hard to make his party and country socialist under Corbyn’s leadership of Labour, and - never can it be forgotten - was a king of banter

1.6m Universal Credit claimants use a food bank. 48% ran out of food last month, lack money to buy more. Work doesn't pay enough, UC is stingy, profiteering rife. 1% have more wealth than 70% of the population combined. Can't rebuild economy on that. charitytoday.co.uk/almost-half-of…

Shockingly bad BBC news on Macron making Michel Barnier French PM : The Left stopped LePen's Far Right winning an election with a vote pact. Macron has junked it + done a dodgy deal with LePen to pick Barnier instead. None of these basic facts in Katya Adler 's report

It’s the Govan to Govan bridge

Living Rent strong in its defiance of the far right in Glasgow today 💚
