I'm not a big Your Party fan, but it's nice to hear about Corbyn's aspirations. His bit on Mandelson is really worth hearing.

In the latest episode of Nest of Fearties, Jeremy Corbyn joins Coll McCail to discuss the Peter Mandelson scandal, the demise of Labourism and the launch of Your Party Scotland. 🎧 Listen to 'Is the Labour Party Dying?' wherever you get your podcasts: buff.ly/NlM84X7

I'm particularly susceptible to the argument in this episode that Scotland's political (and civil, tbqh) society is "intellectually weak". That we were not fucking asked about US piracy against a ship in our waters should be a gift to the SNP, but John Swinney could barely raise a whimper about it.

This was a cool episode that looks honestly at Scotland's future within the world system. There's a really poweful take in here about independence: what's independence if you don't have democracy?

Keir Starmer just admitted what campaigners have argued for years: Britain's nuclear 'independence' is a myth, says Samuel Rafanell-Williams of Scottish CND.

This is our 20th episode of Nest of Fearties. With less than 100 days until May's Holyrood election, it's an important milestone for us as we look to expand our coverage. If you're enjoying the podcast, do chip in to keep us publishing: patreon.com/skotia

A pretty interesting conversation on this week's podcast, and I think a pretty clear throughline that racism, "skivers vs strivers" and for the queer community, transphobia are all weapons wielded by the ruling class to smash the working class.

Is it really Scotland's energy, asks Coll McCail.

"Look at the state of the hospitality sector... we have to demand better." Unite's Yusuf Kidwai sets out why he's on strike at Vue Cinema, St Enoch.

It's time to give Scotland's land back to the people, says Rory Hamilton.

The timing of the Gaza ‘ceasefire’ was no coincidence, says Toufic Haddad.
