The catastrophic illegal Israeli/US attack on Iran will cause untold economic misery for months if not years for millions and has killed thousands.
This has been disastrous for the world. Those responsible and those who facilitate it need to be held accountable.

I understand why the SNP do not call on people to give their second vote to other independence supporting parties – they are afraid. Afraid that the idea of not always voting for them when afforded the chance to do so might set a precedent. Labour have the same fear. Once you infer that it is on occasion ok to vote for someone else, they figure, it is the thin end of the wedge – people get used to the idea. Yet the SNP’s case for “both votes” on May 7 is a poor one and they know it. They know, as indeed we all do, that if, as the polls repeatedly suggest, they win most of the first-past-the-post constituencies, the 500,000 or so votes they accrue on the regional lists simply go in the bin, as it were. That can’t do the independence movement any good. Worse, it helps elect Unionist MSP’s – most likely Reform UK ones as things stand.

The first step in combating the far right is to come together as like-minded socialists.

🗨️ "We need full public funding of education, through taxation of millionaires and big business, with democratic management of universities"

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.

2/2 This story is distressing, but makes clear how a privatised, for-profit system of care fails both vulnerable service users and overwhelmed, underpaid workers.
We need a fully publicly owned, publicly funded National Care Service, delivering free at the point of use care.

"Internal documents show it expects to make pre-tax profits of more than £90m in the next five years.
"It also projects the company will be worth more than £500m by 2027."

We'll be alongside the Justice for Palestine Society, making clear our opposition to war, imperialism, and Labour-backed genocide in Palestine.
And we'll be putting forward the popular socialist alternative to Labour and Reform's discredited austerity and privatisation agenda.

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.

💬 "SSP candidates... commit to being a socialist MSP on a worker’s wage.
"No political party serious about socialist change, for the benefit of Scotland’s people... can fudge or compromise on the wage their MSPs live on."
✍️ Richie Venton in The National
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.

⚠️ 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.
The UK government must stop arming and giving military assistance to Israel.
The Scottish government must immediately halt all public subsidies for war profiteers.
Politicians who have broken international law must be brought to justice.
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.
Key decisions about Scotland's future are being made for the sake of short-term profiteering outside of Scotland - sidelining Scotland's workers, and destroying any pretence of a green industrial plan for Scotland.
We need democratic public ownership.
