The 4th Annual Jim McVicar Memorial Lecture will mark the 40th anniversary of the year-long miners’ strike of 1984/5. NUM striker Alex Shanks will give first-hand memories and observations from the most important strike of modern times.

Refugees cannot and will not be pitted against each other by an international law-breaking, ethnic cleansing-supporting Labour Westminster government. If Westminster wants refugees to stop coming here, they need to stop dropping bombs over there.

💬 "There are 717 outstanding #PFI contracts in the UK today with a capital value of £54.7 billion. But the overall cost to taxpayers will be at least £301bn by the time they are all paid off. "The financial consequences of PFI are clearly catastrophic"

Another talking shop, kicking the can further down the road while working-class households face higher #CouncilTax bills, mounting debt, and collapsing public services, is not enough to fix years of promises broken by the SNP Scottish Government. 3/3
