Alongside the ERB passing, Sunderland beating Newcastle this weekend and Scotland qualifying for the world cup, safe to say I am entering this Christmas period feeling absolutely class 👍

No secret to those who know me, but I am absolutely DELIGHTED to see Andrea Egan be voted in as the General Secretary of our union, and am proud to have played a part in her campaign for election alongside some excellent activists.

What a day for the left!

Whenever someone in power blames immigrants on the difficulties facing working people, working class communities and those struggling to make ends meet in disadvantaged areas, remember two words: 'managed decline'.

In fact it goes even deeper than that. One of the first ever albums that I really loved, as a kid, was 'Do You Like My Tight Sweater?' by Moloko.

My dad had it on tape and we used to play it in the car. Giggling at Killer Bunnies.

Fuck you, Roisin. It feels like a kind of grief.

Seeing Roisin Murphy slip into full TERFdom is one of the saddest things. I genuinely loved RM. Me and my mam bonded over her music - I bought her a ticket to see her earlier this year and we went together, it felt special.

So stupid to attack a community that built your career. Infuriating.

losing my mind on this. she was murdered. she didn't die of a social media overdose.

The Workers' Stories Project published 55 stories from Scottish workers during the COVID-19 lockdown.

I've co-authored a new journal article on the project and working-class narratives of the pandemic with three other members of the project team Hailey Maxwell, Ruth Gilbert and Suki Sangha.

Ah cool, cos I'm coming to the conclusion that you're a walking stereotype of a smug, patronising centrist

Just found out Shell has been running an AI awards for the last few years.

I think they need to award someone damages for the berserk AI-generated post on their official facebook page that featured a gorilla drinking petrol after it had a 'tough fight' with a tribal mob of South Africans?

what if there were one car company that did every shitty thing imaginable

We have voted to force management to rule out the use of compulsory redundancies.

The result demonstrates the anger & disappointment with the lack of progress and failure of successive leaderships at the University to deliver a sustainable way forward that protects jobs and the University’s future.

It makes me cringe so hard that I turn inside out.

Glasgow Trades Council is very active thankfully. Their May Day programme every year is fantastic.

What an absolute fucking loser 😂

At the bottom of this mess is a simple point: the police and the prosecutors were careless with terrorism law and careless about its express safeguards. Things were left to the last minute and a consent (which may or may not have been given) - a step imposed by parliament as a crucial step - was not obtained. And this mishap meant that the Chief Magistrate of England and Wales had no jurisdiction to hear what was on the face of it a terrorism case. Police and the prosecutors should remember that this is terrorism law that they are dealing with. Terrorism law should be taken seriously.

The Kneecap prosecution collapsed because police and prosecutors did not take terrorism law seriously

As a Sunderland fan... It's pretty funny to see how wound up Arsenal are getting. They are winding yous up and it's working 😂

Nice - Just attended my first trades council meeting this week as a delegate! 🙌

Just asking! Sorry.

Okay! Sorry, just a Glasgow term of endearment. Just trying to provide my perspective is all. I'll always be a fierce ally for the trans community, but you don't have to like me or my methods it's cool.

Are you a member of a trade union, or a trade union activist? Genuinely interested!

I'm on your side here pal, I'm not sure what there is to argue about? UNISON is full of strong trans people, many of whom I know and will be hugely disappointed. Some have no choice but to join UNISON if that's who their employer recognises? Who do you suggest I join instead?
