    I heard he was in the departure lounge-didn’t realise he got of the plane just as it was taking off It seems the contempt the now SC Scot Sec, has shown for the LP membership is not worthy of some column inches elsewhere? Going after the socialist is the only game in town.

    I've spent 10 years in the Labour Party debating in good faith with people who are 'actually interested in winning elections' about the direction of the party. The utter silence from them about a sitting Labour MP organising a rival political party is deafening.

    This morning, I joined and shop stewards outside ADL Camelon. Thousands of jobs are on the line. Scottish Labour is fighting to save these jobs. With the climate crisis, we need an energy efficient, green bus fleet more than ever.

    I was disciplined by for having the audacity to post on MSM that I was uncomfortable with coalitions. Also removed from my office for not supporting a Labour budget that was cutting £31 million. 👇🙄

    Let’s call the latest round attacks on Richard Leonard what they are: sabotage. Any honest assessment of Labour in Scotland must acknowledge our problems go deeper than any one individual. Richard is fighting to reconnect with working class communities and he should continue.

    This is very concerning news and my thoughts are with everyone who was on board, and the emergency service workers responding to the incident.

    "We were approaching the jetty and didn't seem to be slowing down and all of a sudden most people on the deck were knocked off their feet and there was a bang."

    Yesterday, held the SNP to account for blocking 's Fair Rents Bill and laid out Scottish Labour's commitment to realising a better Scotland.

    Despite the spin, time and time again the SNP has teamed up with the Tories to block meaningful legislation. There is much to commend in this year's Programme for Government but without action the government's plans aren't worth the paper they are written on.

    We are really enjoying reading what walking during lockdown meant to you. If you have a picture and a few words to share, post it using the hashtag by 18 September and you could win £200 of walking goodies.

    Long walks and short walks were essential pressure valves for the days when home learning did not go well or when it was all just a bit MUCH. So many places discovered and chats had.
