- Asian man stabbed - Black men attacked - Black bus passengers attacked - Muslim women have hijab pulled off - Asian man pulled from car + beaten And now reports of an acid attack on a Muslim woman If you are not calling this racism + Islamophobia you are part of the problem.

Where on earth is Keir Starmer?

Keir Starmer won’t see out his term in office. Absolute political pygmy who is getting found out already. His cabinet is full of similar.

Keir Starmer couldn’t get to his phone quick enough to post about how sickened he was by some people lussing orange flour on Stone fucking Henge. Have we heard anything from him about groups setting fire to hotels and libraries? Any of his “full force of the law” stuff?

Where is Keir Starmer ... Where is the UK government? Where are our 'leaders'? There's Nazi lynch mobs on the streets trying to burn people alive, the police are buckling, and communities are being terrorised Are we without government or protection? If so, what next?

Edinburgh! Stand up to the rioting, racist thugs and far right ideologues preaching hate in our communities. We mustn't be complacent about rioting spreading north of the border. Diversity is strength. Refugees welcome 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Hip Hop Hooray it's the Burryman day A wee picture of my auld man Walter Quigley Bruce with Queensferry's Burryman in the late 1950's

Edinburgh very clearly saying 'NOT HERE, NOT IN OUR NAME' to the racists

To the racists in the comments: stay behind your computer/phone screen. Your hate is not welcome on OUR STREETS 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Our children will ask how we allowed such a massacre to happen in plain sight. How will we answer them? What crime did these four-day-old twins commit? Were they Hamas too? Where are the sanctions against Israel? Such inhumanity, and yet some people still choose silence.

I'll be voting for Shelly for the position of BAME Convener. We're approaching some important election years ahead and it's vital that she's able to continue the work she's been doing to ensure a diverse list of candidates for 2026 and 2027

Landlords say the rent cap's to blame for hiked up rents. But a quick look south of the border shows this is rubbish. Rents *across* the UK have exploded over the last decade and it is tenants who are paying the price. Only strong rent controls will bring rents down.

When is a price 'cap' not a price cap The Labour Party? - When you increase it so regularly that it ensures consumers pay the price for volatility that your energy policies have created as opposed to profiteering energy firms. When is 'Change' not change Scottish Labour?

Keir Starmer would never admit it, but he has the power to fix many of the UK's deep-rooted economic and social problems. Instead, he will impose renewed austerity on those least able to bear it. Not because he has to, but because he wants to. tribunemag.co.uk/2024/08/labour…

Cracking reception from SNP members today at #SNP24 - clear that the grassroots are overwhelmingly behind rent controls. If you missed us today but still want to sign our open letter for rent controls, you can sign here: livingrent.org/snp_open_letter

There will be no cuts to the holiday hubs that these families rely on in the SNP budget. The fact it's even being considered by Labour is shameful. edinburghlive.co.uk/news/edinburgh…

Shocking cuts from Edinburgh Council. My daugther Morven relies on the holiday hub. She needs 2 carers 24hrs a day, if she's not at the holiday hub the Council will be funding 2 carers at home. Cost simply moves from Education to Social Work/NHS . No savings only suffering.

A range of public bodies and local authorities are going to be pushed to make in year savings because of Labour austerity in Westminster. Edinburgh Labour considering passing on those cuts to vulnerable children with additional support needs needs to be called out.

Delighted to hear rent controls will be brought forward in the Housing Bill. Rent prices have increased drastically across Scotland in recent years but rent should not be a way to for landlords to make an obscene amount of profit at the expense of someone else’s need for a home.
