Bus and train fares are still extortionate and complicated. We can, and must, do better!

📣 First Minister Humza Yousaf at the SNP’s National Council in Perth:

“The more determined some at Westminster are to silence Scotland overseas, the more determined I am for Scotland’s voice to be heard loud and clear.”

Me: Maybe Labour could scrap tuition fees, as Starmer promised to, & propose other policy measures to help students.

Happy Ukraine’s Independence Day!
 
The day of the free, the strong, and the dignified. The day of equals. Ukrainian men and women. In our entire country.
 
In this fight, everyone counts. Because the fight is for something that is important to everyone.

An independent Ukraine.

On #UkrainianIndependenceDay , let's redouble our efforts to support Ukraine's struggle - and those of its labour movement.

One way you can help: contribute to our medical workers appeal, which closes tomorrow: crowdfunder.co.uk/p/ukraine-work…

Social Security Scotland delivers 13 devolved benefits, 7 of which are only available in Scotland. A system with dignity, fairness & respect at its heart.

Crucially, through our actions it is estimated we will lift 90,000 children out of poverty.

That's not a waste of money.

What is the world's most underrated building?

Why? It's quite possibly the only place on earth where Beaux-Arts, Art Nouveau, and Art Deco architecture were all somehow combined into a single, spectacular building.…

📣 We’re at the HIAS Europe session about solidarity with refugees, and whether helping refugees is a Jewish responsibility.

Pressure from our open letter with NUS Scotland , University of Stirling Amnesty & No Evictions Network has spurred on our university’s MP Alyn Smith MP 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺 to write to the Home Office. This is a great step - we need to keep going until Muhammad is released! #CommunitiesNotCamps

📣 Ellie Gomersall 🍉: “This is the Home Office’s hostile environment policy in action. The student has been unnecessarily and inhumanely detained for 7 weeks and denied bail despite his declining mental health.”

✊🏼 Home Office, #ReleaseMuhammad now!

As a visitor with ScotDetaineeVisitors, I'm shocked by the experience of everyone I meet - indefinite detention is always incredible cruel and unfair. However, what has happened to Muhammad is particularly awful and catch-22 like. I urge you to sign this letter, share, and make some noise

📢 As I said in December, UK Governments have talked tough on immigration, but everything they have done has failed.

🔴 Hostile environment
🔴 Nationality & Borders Act
🔴 Illegal Migration Act
