Compulsory redundancies at UWS will be a disaster for workers, communities, and learners. We're standing with striking workers in the fight to save Higher Education in Scotland. Richie Venton spoke with EIS-ULA branch secretary Katie Clark: youtu.be/jRYuhz3mfNU

Your party is right here. The Scottish Socialist Party is fighting for socialist change for Scotland's working class, and standing in the 2026 Holyrood elections. scottishsocialistparty.org/your-party-i...

🕛 Tonight, 6pm 📍 Room 709, Boyd Orr Building, University Ave., Glasgow 👇 All welcome; details below. 1/2

The UK government is complicit in the weaponised famine and mass killings perpetrated by Isaac Herzog's government in Palestine. Instead of rolling out the red carpet for him and waging war on peaceful protestors, Labour must end its complicity in genocide.

Instead of career politicians lining their own pockets while imposing austerity on working-class people, let's elect socialist MSPs on a worker's wage.

Corruption and self-enrichment in politics is a poison. We need socialist MSPs on a worker's wage instead. socialistvoice.scot/subscriptions/

From landlord Labour ministers to bottomless expense accounts to pocketing freebies from lobbyists - corruption and self-enrichment has poisoned democracy. Instead, all SSP candidates pledge to live on the average worker’s wage only. www.thenational.scot/politics/254...

⚠️ Trade Unions and socialists must urgently mobilise a real alternative to both the far-right and the broken status quo, based on working-class demands. scottishsocialistparty.org/falkirk-show...

🚨 Yes, it can happen here. We must build the positive, working-class, socialist alternative in communities that have been ravaged by austerity, low-quality housing, and job losses - a genuine alternative to both the broken status quo and the billionaire-funded far-right.

Keir Starmer and Labour have given Israel the weapons, intelligence, and political protection to illegally occupy Gaza - and murder Palestinians. They tried to silence opposition to these crimes by attacking our basic democratic rights. Their empty words are meaningless now.

Alexander Dennis must be brought into democratic public ownership - with a worker-led plan to save all jobs and kickstart green production here in Scotland. scottishsocialistparty.org/nationalise-...

🗨️ "it’s the responsibility of the movement for national sovereignty to chart a course that ties the demand for independence with the struggles of anti imperialism, international solidarity and radical wealth redistribution." 👇

Keir Starmer has left the door wide open to the fraud far right - because they both serve the same elite, anti-working class interests.

🗨️ "We cannot rely on personalities; we require fighting socialist principles and policies. We cannot rely on messiahs; we need mass movements of the Scottish working class to carve out an independent socialist future." 👇

🗨️ "Defiance of Westminster with radical socialist measures of wealth redistribution is the road to a huge, unstoppable independence majority – not compliance with Tory and now Labour butchery to jobs, wages and services" ✍️ Richie Venton in The National: www.thenational.scot/politics/253...

☀️ We've been having a great day in the sun, talking to festival-goers at #TRNSMT. Young people have made it absolutely clear: they're backing our demand for an end to arms sales, to war profiteering, and to the UK government's complicity in genocide in Gaza.

SSP National Trade Union Organiser Richie Venton spoke to The National earlier this week about the proposed new formation around Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana. We have published Richie’s comments in full. scottishsocialistparty.org/jeremy-corby...

Abusing anti-terror laws to ban non-violent protest is a dangerous assault on all of our democratic rights - rights that were not just given to us, but which generations before ours fought and struggled for. 1/2

Every day we can see on our feeds exactly what Labour Westminster government is supporting and doing in Palestine - and we can see the real consequences of war and warmongering on fellow human beings for ourselves. Labour's attempts to silence opposition and end freedom of speech will not work.

Alexander Dennis must be brought into democratic public ownership - led by workers - to deliver green jobs and green production in Scotland. After the betrayal at Grangemouth, SNP and Labour governments must not allow another act of vandalism to be inflicted on Scotland.

No concealment will erase the facts or memory of the crimes committed by the state in the 1980s - or the fact those crimes extended to the highest level of government. Labour attempts to suppress opposition today are a continuation of those crimes. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The violence in Ballymena underlines the urgent need for working-class organisation and unity. Originally of Co. Fermanagh, Richie Venton discusses how working-class unity has and can again provide a counterforce to racist and sectarian violence. scottishsocialistparty.org/ballymena-vi...

The UK government has enabled and assisted Israel to act with impunity in the genocide in Gaza, illegal settlement in the West Bank, the bombing of Yemen, and the invasions of Lebanon and Syria. Now, we are being dragged towards open war with Iran. 1/2

Alexander Dennis must be brought into democratic public ownership, under workers' control, to save jobs, protect a vital manufacturing asset, and facilitate a worker-led transition to green production. scottishsocialistparty.org/nationalise-...

We are saddened at the sudden passing of Peter Krykant. Peter was a tireless fighter for the most marginalised members of our community, including people experiencing addiction.

This would be yet another devastating blow to workers in Scotland. We need democratic public ownership of public transport - including manufacturing. Instead of job losses, we need public ownership to create skilled, fully unionised green jobs in Scotland. www.thenational.scot/news/2523136...

Nobody voted for Starmer to push us deeper into war profiteering and escalating conflict. But like so many weak politicians before him, he's projecting a desperate, phoney tough-guy image to try and salvage a doomed government. Collette Bradley is standing for working-class people instead.

Don't vote for the millionaires - tax the millionaires! Labour and Reform both serve the exact same elite interests. Only the SSP is putting the working-class majority first in this by-election - and rejecting political careerism and elite interests.

We're ready for the last big push! Collette Bradley is standing to put wealth and power back into the hands of the working-class majority - taking on the status quo and fraud far right together. 🗳️Vote Collette Bradley on 5 June to elect a socialist MSP on a worker's wage.

Where's Davy? Labour are desperate to dodge real scrutiny in this by-election campaign, culminating in a serial no-show candidate. The people of Hamilton, Larkhall & Stonehouse deserve better. That's why the SSP is holding Labour to account.

🗳️ Vote Collette Bradley and the Scottish Socialist Party on 5 June to elect a socialist MSP on a worker's wage for Hamilton, Larkhall & Stonehouse. youtu.be/0CbYihNaadE

We need socialist change that improves life for working-class people. We're taking on the far right and the status quo together.

🗨️ "Instead of perpetuating rule and ruin by the millionaire class – as Reform, Labour and others do – the SSP stand for a massive redistribution of wealth away from the millionaires who hoard it to the millions who need it." www.thenational.scot/politics/251...

Labour's rip-off #PFI contracts let private finance extract billions from our #NHS - that's funding and resources stolen from health services, health workers, and patients by private finance. Collette Bradley is standing to stop the robbery.

Following the recent Scottish CND hustings, where Labour shamefully failed to turn up, the SSP's Hamilton, Larhkhall & Stonehouse by-election candidate Collette Bradley joined the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign in Hamilton to mark the 77th anniversary of the Nakba. 📸 SPSC Lanarkshire

Labour's cowardly snubbing of the Scottish CND hustings in Hamilton underlines their contempt for the public - and reveals that not even Labour can defend Labour's record anymore.

Ahead of Scottish CND organised hustings, SSP by-election candidate Collette Bradley has backed the call to scrap nuclear weapons.

Collette Bradley WILL lodge a Parliamentary Bill calling for a 5% Wealth Tax on all millionaires. 🗳️ Vote Collette Bradley and the SSP on 5 June for a socialist MSP on a worker's wage.

More and more people are backing our demand for a 5% Wealth Tax on millionaires - and want to see a socialist MSP on a worker's wage for Hamilton, Larkhall & Stonehouse. 🗳️ Vote Collette Bradley on 5 June.

We have been hard at work campaigning to elect Collette Bradley as a socialist MSP for Hamilton, Larkhall & Stonehouse - and people have made clear to us just how sick they are of being ripped off by establishment politicians and wealthy elites. 🗳️ Vote Collette Bradley and the SSP on 5 June.

We need spending on pay, jobs, energy, housing, the NHS, social care, and transport - under democratic public ownership. We aren't made wealthier or safer by pouring billions into the pockets of war profiteers.

We welcome the abolition of peak fares. We stood with rail workers' unions in fighting for it. But we still face rip-off fares, and private firms still pocket public subsidies while cutting services. Collette Bradley is standing for democratic public ownership and free public transport.

Private finance takes billions out of our #NHS through rip-off PFI contracts - leaving patients and hospitals underfunded and understaffed. It's Labour's legacy, maintained by the SNP. Collette Bradley is standing to stop the robbery.

⚒️ We've been hard at work this May Day weekend: 🟥 Fighting for an independent socialist Scotland. 🟨 Making the case for a 4-day week on 5 days' pay. ⬜ Campaigning to elect Collette Bradley as a socialist MSP on a worker's wage for Hamilton, Larkhall & Stonehouse 🗳️ 📸 Billy Knox

⚒️ May Day weekend is our favourite weekend of the year. But it's not just a celebration of the past - it's a call to organise and to fight for the future.

We're sick of misery for the masses and more than plenty for the politicians. In Hamilton, Larkhall & Stonehouse, only Collette Bradley has the principles to serve as an MSP on a worker's wage.

🗨️ "The potential power of organised workers needs to be rallied behind such measures for wealth redistribution, giving millions of people a glimpse of a new Scotland, ultimately an independent socialist Scotland."

Labour's Tory 2.0 government is opening the door to the billionaire-backed far-right. And an Unpopular Front of the establishment in Scotland won't help. We need working-class organisations to fight for a People's Charter of material demands - taking on the far-right and the status quo together.

It is #InternationalWorkersDay. We're sending our solidarity to workers and working-class communities engaged in struggle around the world.
