'Free tuition is not up for sacrifice — Scotland must protect education' Those urging tuition fees claim it’s “realism”. In truth, it’s a retreat that would punish the poorest and weaken Scotland’s future…

The Scottish Government deserve praise for ensuring higher education remains tuition fee free

Solutions to the crisis of funding in the sector won’t be found in creating barriers by lumping debt on to students

If we really care about protecting our women & girls we need to reject the racist campaigns that solely target those seeking asylum & instead go after those at the top until every last… [one]… who may have aided & abetted the abuse of women & girls is brought to task.

Read the final report, 'No Time To Lose', launched today, from the Just Transition Commission here: www.justtransition.scot/publication/...

SNP ministers attacked by own commission over 'deindustrialisation' The Scottish government’s just transition commission has issued a stark assessment of progress in ensuring workers are not left behind in any strategy to reach net zero.

There is no time to lose. If the government is to stand beside workers and deliver a just transition, it must act now and end the delays.

'Protecting women must come before the political drama of the Epstein fallout' The protection of women and girls from systemic abuse must outweigh the political melodrama triggered by the Epstein files fallout, says Roz Foyer

I hope every single individual who turned a blind eye to the systemic abuse of women and children and accepted the unacceptable is sweating.

That is, of course, if they’re capable of sweating.

'Protecting women must come before the political drama of the Epstein fallout' The protection of women and girls from systemic abuse must outweigh the political melodrama triggered by the Epstein files fallout, says Roz Foyer

Violence against women and girls – the systematic rape and trafficking of children at the hands of wealthy, elitist men – is a much bigger concern than political melodrama.

There. I said it. Unsure why it was that difficult.

Front page of The National newspaper showing coverage of STUC call on UK to speak out against Trump's actions against Cuba

Mass starvation is a war crime. This US imperial aggression is collective punishment, a crime under international law. The UK must speak out to defend Cuba's people.

Offshore workers are constantly let down by governments delivering nothing but hot air as opportunities for public investment in the sector breeze right past politicians.

'The big winners from Reform’s tax plans aren’t workers' Far from being  a saviour of the working class, Reform’s new leader in Scotland and his tax plans represent the protection of elites over working…

Reform aren't the saviours of the working class. Their kamikaze tax plans rewards the rich and powerful, and workers should be wary.
