The far right are no friend of working people. Our governments need to buck their ideas up. They must raise the standards in our public services and in our discourse if we're to defeat the far right. Roz Foyer / BBC Radio Scotland #SundayShow

We agree with the First Minister John Swinney that investment in our public services must be at the heart of the Scottish Government's agenda. Resilient, well funded and world-class public services are a key driver in building our economy and eliminating poverty.

We cannot fall into the trap of treating Reform and Nigel Farage as a convenient political bogeyman. Doing so allows others off the hook and allows deeper, structural problems to go unchallenged. Roz Foyer/The Herald #STUC25 heraldscotland.com/opinion/251189…

Discussion on Employment Rights Bill tonight- there's work to do across the trade union movement to strengthen the Bill. We need sectoral collective bargaining- and repeal of all anti trade union legislation. #SolidarityMatters

It’s a relief to see Dundee University management backtrack on 700 job cuts. They now need to take compulsory redundancies off the table #StopTheCuts #DundeeUni ucu.org.uk/article/13999/…
