The Israeli-American axis of evil killed over 160 schoolgirls on Saturday,to deflect attention from an international child sex trafficking ring & the part played in that by the American president.
We continue to fail children every hour of every day that we let this continue.

Labour's Scottish election campaign conference. A few dozen people in a mostly empty auditorium.

Labour's Scottish election campaign conference. A few dozen people in a mostly empty auditorium.

A picture paints a thousand words, Labour's Scottish campaign conference is a picture of a demoralised and defeated party. Hold your nose and vote Labour is not the winning slogan Anas Sarwar hopes it is. It's the last desperate plea from a dying party. Westminster rule in Scotland dies with Labour.

Stop Palantir taking over our public services! Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

Palantir, a US spy-tech firm, has been given access to millions of NHS patient records.

Its founder has said the NHS should be 'ripped up'.

Join me in calling on the government to end the dangerous Palantir contract.
