Doorknocking in Morningside this afternoon! We got a little wet, but had some great conversations about green spaces, heating our homes, and addressing the lack of third spaces and growing loneliness among younger and older people. Thank you everyone who gave their time and chatted to us!

The diplomatic "achievement" of the ceasefire was to recalibrate the tempo of the genocide sufficiently to get it off the front pages and the news bulletins, thus alleviating the political pressure on Israel's western accomplices.

Today's Labour Party announcement is absolutely vile and I am ashamed to be a UK citizen today.
Sending all the love and solidarity out to all my friends in this country who have come here seeking asylum, as a refugee or as a migrant. I hope you know you are loved and valued. We will fight this.

The Labour Government reeling off the same far-right talking points on immigration. And look who is celebrating. The far-right.

The job of the radical is to make hope possible rather than despair convincing!
Mamdani shows:
- you don't have to pander to the right to win
- solidarity with trans people is popular
- people want leaders to speak out against genocide
- we must tax wealth
Scottish politics must learn from this.
