Today is the anniversary of the Battle of Cable Street. It is an enduring inspiration in the fight against fascism.

Labour will scrap Universal Credit, and end the two-child cap and the abhorrent rape clause that comes with it.

How can @LesleyRiddoch get through a whole article in @TheScotsman about the poor state of Scottish cycle tracks without calling one of the 24 Scottish Ministers to account?

This call should not be ignored by the SNP government. The income supplement must be introduced sooner to help those in need. If Nicola Sturgeon listens she will have the full support of Scottish Labour in doing so. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-s…

It’s not a bloody competition - 44 men abusing girls, 1 MP assaulting a women at a public event, 1 MP who could be Prime Minister having Police called to his house because his partner is screaming “get off me” - these are ALL acts violence against women and ALL unacceptable

The answer to Boris Johnson as Prime Minister is not the creation of a separate Scottish state. It is his early removal from office and the election of a progressive Labour Government.

Well done, @mcmillwynd for a nicely different commemoration. An East Lothian /Auld Alliance twist.

In remembrance, poppy and bleuet the French flower of remembrance laid in Haddington on D Day. In the Normandy Garden and by the stone and trees planted 25 years ago. Poppies bloom today in the garden beside the Haddington Thistles. Lest we forget.

How can anyone with even a passing sense of history watch the D-Day commemorations & still want Britain to leave the EU which binds former enemies together in common endeavour?

Who gave you the right to speak for “Unionists throughout the UK”?

Caring for young children has always been #women's work. Unpaid, unsung, un-valued. It's time we women started sewing up the dots... and getting just a tiny bit militant on behalf of the next generation. @ACEAwareNation @suzannezeedyk @craig_carol
