I was there last night when 20 masked fascists tried to attack a socialist meeting in Glasgow. These aren’t concerned citizens. They’re thugs trying to silence political opposition through violence and intimidation. Unity on the left is essential to defeat the far right.
Read our statement on events last night in the graphics below. We say don't be intimidated, stand united and in solidarity with one another. Build @AntiRacismDay @SUTRScotland All out to mobilise for the @ScottishTUC St Andrew's Day anti-racist and anti-fascist march on 28 Nov.

While Israel is building concentration camps in Gaza, The Guardian still can’t bring itself to call what’s happening in Palestine a genocide.

Following up June's International Anti-War Conference we've organised a tour of regional rallies, featuring some key speakers from the international movement. We'll be demanding that the govt drops its commitment to increase arms spending, and popularising the call for #WelfareNotWarfare to build for action against militarism on the international days of action – 30 October, 20 November and 21 November.

Stop the War Scotland has taken the decision to cancel our demonstration in order to fully support the GGEC mobilisation in Edinburgh on the 10th. At this critical moment, three years into genocide in Gaza, it is vital that the movement is united in greater strength and numbers.

President of @STWuk Andrew Murray at the @STWscotland AGM: “The danger of war is hanging over us now, not in 10 years… The psychosis for war is here and driving us to the edge. It’s working people who pay the price.”

Ed Milliband's statement is a vindication of the Palestine Solidarity movement. Despite three years of attacks on our movement, this govt has found our pressure impossible to ignore. But this must be a floor not a ceiling. All out in Glasgow on 10th of October 🇵🇸 ✊️

After two years of denial, fabrication, and propoganda, Israel admitted that it killed 5 years-old Palestinian girl Hind Rajab. On CNN with @jimsciutto, Ambassador Mansour reiterated that: “Israeli investigations are not independent or credible leading to almost no convictions… the record is clear and this one will not be different…in the case of Hind Rajab, the evidence is clear and the names of those who committed the crime are known…an independent international investigation or international court must investigate.”

Edinburgh last weekend: you couldn’t hold a placard supporting Palestine Action, but you could display an Ulster Defence Association banner. The UDA is a proscribed terrorist organisation responsible for hundreds of killings. This is what two-tier policing actually looks like.
