Those politicians and sections of the commentariat criticising flexible working are relics of a by-gone age. It is almost as if they are more interested in having a pop at unionised public sector workers than improving the economy. @rozfoyer.bsky.social / @heraldscotland.bsky.social

From the ashes of Union Street, we must renew. But you can't cut your way out of a crisis. The shrinkage of the state hardly acts as a firewall when our public services are stretched in times of emergency. @rozfoyer.bsky.social / @heraldscotland.bsky.social www.heraldscotland.com/politics/vie...

Ensuring the workforce is safe is not a barrier to the entrepreneurial spirit those in the upper reaches of our social classes think is lacking in Scotland. Safer workplaces are beneficial to the workforce, to society and to economic growth. @rozfoyer.bsky.social

New research from #TaxJusticeScotland shows that five times as many Scots support urgent Council Tax reform as oppose it. If we want to fund local government properly, we must start by scrapping the regressive council tax @rozfoyer.bsky.social / BBC Radio Scotland

Solidarity from Deputy General Secretary @lindasomerville.bsky.social to @unitetheunion.bsky.social members at Diligenta. Over 1000 members across the country taking strike action to oppose cuts to their pay is inspirational. Scotland's trade union movement stands with them.

UK energy bill payers to hand £2bn a year in subsidies to EDF, owned by the French govt, for building two nuclear power stations. That will come handy in keeping energy prices down in France, improving govt finances. Dividends won't be taxed in the UK. All because UK govts oppose public ownership

📢Speaker announcement: Councillor Laura Murtagh will address our Rally and how residents in Falkirk through Falkirk For All are seeking to unite, not divide, working people.

UK millionaires say 'we want to pay more tax'. Why is that UK govts only listen to the rich who resent paying tax and decent wages? The rich can't feel secure whilst masses live in poverty. Poor people can't buy goods/services to boost the economy.

It's no time for political infighting. The stakes are too high. The UK Government must deliver for working people and fast. @rozfoyer.bsky.social / @heraldscotland.bsky.social
