With enormous regret, SLAB is today advising supporters not to vote for ANY Scottish Labour candidate in this election. There are several pro-trans Labour candidates standing on 7 May, but a vote for them would now sadly be an endorsement of explicit transphobia.

⏰ A shorter working week also speaks to the kind of country we want to build. Scotland already has longer working hours than many of our European neighbours. That comes at a cost, to our mental health, to our families and to our communities.

Why Scotland needs a four-day working week - Lorna Slater
There is a quiet revolution taking place in how we think about work. For generations, the five-day working week has been treated as fixed, almost natural. But just as past generations fought for weekends, for paid holidays and for safer workplaces, we now stand on the brink of the next step forward, a four-day working week.
