All of Edinburgh's Labour MP's voting to maintain the Tory 2 child benefit cap @ChrisMurrayMP @IanMurrayMP @DrScottArthurMP tells you everything you need to know about the politics of 'change' that was promised.
We need a just transition, but it must be an actual transition to renewables, supported by a Green New Deal for both workers and the planet.

'Public servants – teachers, social workers, police – as well as charity workers who are all there to support children on the margins are themselves “overwhelmed” by the scale of social decline.'

The most fundamental attack on trade union rights in 30 years. Undermines workers ability to take impactful industrial action in sectors such as Higher Education by allowing employers to demand certain workers cross their own pickets. Deeply authoritarian legislation.

The British ruling class are morally bankrupt. End of story.
When you hear the numbers of Palestinians slaughtered in Gaza, when you read the statistics, remember:
There is a name. There were hopes and dreams.
Tonight I voted for a ceasefire to help bring an end to this carnage.
I am devastated that not enough other MPs did the same.

Unites industrial action at Edinburgh Napier University continues this week. We've had real terms pay cuts for over a decade in a sector that is a success story as a result of our work. Thanks to San, Joe, unison, ucu, and EIS reps for your picket solidarity ♥️✊
We're taking strike action on pay, for five days, October 23rd to 27th. Come and support our picket line at Merchiston Campus on Monday the 23rd 8am to 11.30am. As ever, thanks to @strike_map for mapping our picket lines: strikemap.org/strikes/394234
Unison primary and secondary school support staff getting it done 👏✊🚩
Day 1 of the strike - we turned Edinburgh green & purple - a strong message that we won't back down. 🟣🟢 #payupforcouncilstaff #UNISONstrikes

Solidarity to our sister branches in Scotland taking Industrial Action over the coming weeks. We will be joining the fight once our members have decided upon dates. unitetheunion.org/news-event…
Over 1000 Unite Higher Education members in Scotland will take part in industrial action. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-6…
Unite members at @EdinburghNapier University have endorsed strike action, with 85% in favour on a 87% turnout. We love our jobs. But 14 years of pay cuts, mounting stress and burnout are taking a toll. They just need to pay us fairly. Industrial Action dates TBC.
Solidarity to all of these courageous Unite Hospitality members who are undertaking two days of industrial action at 13th Note, in a sector plagued by low pay, precarious contracts, and poor working conditions. This is an inspiring group of workers.
Hospitality workers at the 13th Note are fighting for better pay, safer conditions, and respect. Support their campaign. @FairHospitality megaphone.org.uk/petitions/s… via @megaphoneuk
Happy International Workers Day to every worker, and to so many trade union activists who sacrifice their time and effort to support the labour movement.

It's a message that has been available since James Connolly. JC wasn't a minister in a fine gael coalition government that laid the foundations of the corporate welfare state in eire...so who knows, maybe they're both right 🙄
