🩸On this day in 2020, Scotland became the first country in the world to introduce universal free period products. ⚖️ The Period Products (Free Provision) (Scotland) Act was a historic breakthrough but is far from the end of the journey for menstrual justice. There’s still much to do.

A crucial step in the fight against genocide. Yet Starmer and Lammy still arm Israel. Shameful.

Scotland's only oil refinery at Grangemouth is closing in just a few months time. This parliamentary evidence is a vital informed intervention from Unite, the lead union at the site. Grangemouth is viable, we need it for our energy security and as part of a bridge towards a green industrial future.

Real Labour.

Really sad to hear of the passing of John Prescott. A Labour Party giant who spent his life trying to improve the lives of others. My deepest sympathies and prayers are with his wife Pauline, his family and all who loved him. www.theguardian.com/politics/gal...

DWP admits (finally) what many campaign groups have been saying for weeks - the winter fuel payment cuts will plunge tens of thousands of pensioners into poverty I wouldn’t want to be the Minister doing tomorrow morning’s interview round @bigissue.bsky.social www.bigissue.com/news/social-...

How do trade unions work?🤔 A worker says to another worker: This isn't right. Then they talk to more colleagues. Then they all realise something has to change. Then they realise they hold all the power, they just need to use it. They use it. They keep going. They win.

I've written written to energy secretary Ed Miliband demanding action on Grangemouth. A Labour government not putting together a serious plan for the future of the site and the thousands of jobs which depend on it, would be a huge dereliction of duty. #NoBanWithoutAPlan ⤵️

Toilets at work. Access is a fundamental workplace need. When workers lack adequate access, they may delay using the restroom, leading to serious physical health issues. It also causes stress and distraction, a serious risk in safety-critical roles. www.tuc.org.uk/research-ana...

A devastating statistic. This is totally unacceptable in modern-day Britain. The Labour Leadership must commit to scrapping the two-child benefit cap immediately to begin solving the crisis. www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

The winter fuel cut was a grave mistake which exposes vulnerable people to unnecessary risks as the cold weather approaches. Govt must change course on this and acknowledge that picking the pockets of pensioners is wrong.

A UN Special Committee has found Israel’s methods of warfare in Gaza are consistent with genocide. I will be seeking to raise this in Parliament this week.

30% of children in the UK are growing up in poverty. 7% of children attend private schools And yet the scandal of child poverty receives far less attention than VAT on private schools from much of our media class. A story of wealth and power in Britain.

RMT accuses ScotRail of deception over true scale of ticket office cuts Rail union RMT, has accused ScotRail of misleading the public over the true scale of proposed cuts to ticket office hours. www.rmt.org.uk/news/rmt-acc...

In 2022, a public consultation over plans by ScotRail to reduce ticket office hours were overwhelmingly opposed by 99% of passengers. Despite this, ScotRail still plans to cut hours at 101 ticket offices. ✍️ Please sign our petition against these cuts. bit.ly/3YLp5lB

Pensioner poverty is a blight on our society. We need direct intervention by governments, including the restoration of the winter fuel allowance.
