My 15yo gave me a very useful Christmas present. You are welcome to it, my old friends

Whether getting some last-minute shopping or catching up with friends, hospitality and retail workers are crucial to Christmas. But the majority of those workers are on exploitative wages and conditions. We're calling for all workers to get a fair wage this Christmas.

Lighting in Alexandra Park is something quite a few folk have been raising. 💡 So myself, council officers, & residents walked around discussing locations to improve park users’ safety, especially for women. I’ll keep pressing to progress this work with officers & the community in the new year 💚

New York, this moment belongs to you. Please join us for the Inauguration of a New Era on January 1, 2026.

I wrote this essay because I wanted as many people as possible to understand that what Paine did in Common Sense was recognize the urgency of his historical moment, and that he matched that moment with words. That is why it resonates now. What words will we find for our moment?

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

We joined 209 allies from Myanmar & the region inc @pvamplify.bsky.social @altsean.bsky.social @justiceformyanmar.org Urging international governments to take Actions Against the Myanmar Junta, which plans to hold sham elections, whilst committing War Crimes Text: drive.google.com/file/d/1mRB6...

EU 🇪🇺 statement on the upcoming elections in Myanmar 👇 www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/pre...

The military junta's election is not an election for the people; it is merely a sham election designed to rebrand itself in order to continue committing crimes. We stand in solidarity with the people's of Myanmar in rejecting the Sham election.

To all the young people in New York and across our country who count on gender-affirming care: I won't let this administration come for you, your doctors, or your lifesaving health care.  Your health care is still legal and protected.  I'll always fight for you.

HMP Bronzefield must urgently allow medics into the prison to treat Qesser before it’s too late. The appalling denial of medical attention ... will likely have fatal consequences, directly linked to the decision-making of Labour ministers. Read my full comment, link below.

Unions are welcoming £120 million government investment to keep the ethylene plant open at Grangemouth. It's a big improvement on standing by as the refinery closed down earlier this year. It keeps workers in jobs and essential infrastructure going, but with high costs too🧵

I was on Reporting Scotland earlier, discussing the UK government’s £125m bailout of the ethylene plant at Grangemouth and what it means for workers and the future of manufacturing. You can watch it in the first report on this link.

The SNP have urged Keir Starmer to consider rejoining the Erasmus programme in an effort to reverse the strain Brexit has put on higher education institutions

ICE tried to kidnap one man from a local grocery store in St. Paul, MN, but community members used their humanity & their bodies as a human shield to successfully fend them off. ✌🏻

We must #ChangeTheNarrative! Dr Beth Upton was fully acquitted of all wrongdoing in yesterday’s Employment Tribunal decision. Yet she has been vilified by a toxic & poisonous media for months. It must stop! Congratulations, and solidarity, to you, Beth!

This week two legal judgements, concerning employers based in Scotland, have shown that employers are not obliged to exclude trans people from facilities that align with their gender. Full statement: transactual.org.uk/blog/2025/12... #Trans #Nonbinary #EqualityAct #EHRC

Mini thread on the ET decision in Peggie Top line: It says exactly what we have been saying for months. The decision of the Supreme Court was not to turn the Equality Act 2010 into a nationwide bathroom ban - regardless of how anti-trans organisations have sought to misrepresent the law. 🧵👇

The Celtic Collective march from St Mary’s in the Calton to Celtic Park The Collective is building something that will last beyond this incompetent Celtic board, the current regime and their short-term decisions 🍀

Huge Well done to @naomhpadraigcsc.bsky.social today 👏these guys travel many miles over land and sea from Dublin never miss a game ! Today they led the Fan march with their Banner held high !! ''They are there and they are always There'' 👏👏🍀 #ItsnotjustGreenBrigade #SacktheBoard

Rights are really important. Those in Scotland are different from England.

Welcome to John and Ross! 💚 With a Labour government looking more and more like the Tories every day and the SNP dropping progressive commitments all over the place, there has never been a more crucial moment for strong Green voices in town halls across our country.

That's not a compromise. There is no compromise position lurking somewhere between "treat trans people as full and equal members of society" and "treat trans people as second-class citizens". Labour have chosen the latter option.

Ah yes, the pro-segregation Labour party. Abolish yourself.

This is exactly how you defeat the bigots. The Scottish Greens abandoned multiple single-gender selection lists in favour of single all-gender internal elections.

The @scottishgreens.org hit a high record party membership this week 💚 We are bringing hope back by convincing people that a fairer, greener and kinder Scotland is possible. Join our movement today: members.greens.scot/Join2025

A statement from Woodcraft Folk re: the ban on trans girls from Girl Guiding. Trans girls deserve to belong everywhere. But when bigots win the day (not for long I hope), at least there remain places where trans girls and everyone else can belong. woodcraft.org.uk/woodcraft-fo...

Football without fans is nothing

1/5 It was entirely predictable that The Telegraph would jump on @DavidOlusoga’s Empire series to fight its right wing culture war for control of our public history. Let’s see what they’ve done:

If you’re wondering who’s guiding our transition, it’s the best New Yorkers that money can’t buy.

One of the small number of quality players we kept is recognised. www.celticfc.com/news/2025/no...

Everyone deserves a wage they can live off, one that is enough to pay their bills. There is also no reason why apprentices should be paid at a level well below the poverty line. Essentials like food, fuel and electricity don’t cost any less for them than they do for the rest of us.

See instead of Dermot Desmond sending his son to do his dirty work and now his puff piece in the Daily Rangers how about he meets Fan Representatives and actually sits down with them as grown Adults and listen to them without the need of the Head Master Pistol Pete barking his orders to us like kids

Ross Desmond made the most inflammatory, disgraceful speech. Openly goading the support. The shareholders responded. The meeting is closed.
