Very 🙏 to have the opportunity to attend my breast screening appointment close to home due to the mobile van

Honoured to carry the May Day banner at the AberdeenTUC March today.
Great to see such a strong turnout to celebrate the workers of the world.
Memorable words from Tommy Campbell at the rally :
“The only wars we should be fighting are the war on poverty and the war against attacks on human rights.”
