“…it is an occasion established not by the power of governments or conquerors, but by an…unofficial movement of poor men & women. I am speaking of May Day, or more precisely of the First of May, the international festival of the working-class movement…” jacobin.com/2017/05/the-bi…
The cause of labour is the hope of the world 🌍 🚩
Of course I’m stranded on a stationary privatised train about to miss my connection. This has happened nearly every time I’ve visited the North West of England over the last 15 years!
My 21 year old constituent was detained this morning. I understand he was subject to a #RwandaScheme notice for some time. He was taken to a detention centre in Middlesex as far as I know. They do this so that any support networks you have find it impossible to reach you. 1/2
I’m getting an early train to Salford tomorrow so I’ve naturally just sat and mentally ticked off that I’ll be able to use the plugs there, don’t have to change money or need my passport.
I mostly remember the Millennium Dome as this odd thing happening in London which was a place I'd never been in 2000, the year I turned ten. We got Dynamic Earth as a sort of Edinburgh version which combined the Dome's architecture with the Eden Project's environmental ethos.

Tomorrow I'll be giving the Frow Memorial Lecture @wcmlibrary in Salford on Energy Workers and the Transformation of Britain. You can still sign up here if you fancy joining! eventbrite.co.uk/e/frow-memoria…
Today marks 61 years since the Bristol Bus Boycott. It began after the Bristol Omnibus Company, with the support of the Transport & General Workers Union, refused to employ Black & Asian crews. The boycott lasted 4 months until the company backed down & overturned the colour bar.
Maybe I just missed this subplot last year, but I don’t remember anyone considering that either Ash Regan or Kate Forbes might have failed command a parliamentary majority and so have been unable to be elected First Minister? Surely that was on the cards though?
🏴 🚨 Scottish News Update! The Free Scots have responded to our nation’s latest crisis by seizing windfarms, ports, railways and key motorway services. Citizens are advised to remain calm as we await Chinese cruisers which will help maintain neutrality. Our future awaits.

The president of Columbia being salty over Nasser nationalizing her father's property always makes me laugh
The one thing I would add to Prof Mitchell's analysis here, is that the SNP could avoid treating 2014 as a defeat because that bitter taste was rapidly followed by an astonishing election victory in 2015, and it was handed a justification to perpetuate the 2014 campaign in 2016.
Usual caveat that I don’t agree with every word from @ProfJMitchell , but there is much in this I do agree with and I would highly recommend reading his piece here. Nobody is suggesting we ditch or dilute independence - the opposite is true - but the party’s debate is too often…
🌹Solidarity greetings to all this #MayDay Four years since our first action @redforworkers, which saw thousands wear red in support of workers. 😍We're proud to be a small part of our great movement. Solidarity forever 🚩 strikemap.org #StrikeMap
Agree with a lot of this. Would add that rural is not a synonym for small c conservatism either in social views or economic terms and I think central belt based politicians base their views on assumptions rather than reality.
One of the notable features of Scottish politics in the last few year has been the re-emergence of an internal territorial politics and the articulation of rural and Highland interests. It's clearly disconcerting for many nationalists. Forbes is just one prominent exponent.
@ewangibbs In my experience trains in that particular region are particularly unreliable. Wonder what they did to deserve it?
@lmurrz I am very much enjoying having a bunch of conservative Christians telling me what I as a Highlander believe. I’ll need to inform my mother she’s being a bigot for thinking Forbes is wank for being against abortion
The Highlands/Highlanders are not a monolith. I find it deeply offensive to style any criticism of her social views as anti-Highland sentiment

Very excited to get my copy of this brand new book by my brilliant friend @jm_stout. Also excited to hear her talk about it at our @scottishbeacon event happening in Edinburgh on 7 June. Limited tickets here: eventbrite.co.uk/e/no-news-is-b…
At least 14 employees of Ramage and Ferguson died between 1896 and 1918. This is the verdict of the Fatal Accident Inquiry into the death of John Law, a labourer. He was descending a ladder when one of the rungs broke under him and he fell to the bottom of the dock.
It's been hard to find time recently for any in-depth threading, but I think tonight we can sneak in the story of the lesser-known Leith shipyard of Ramage & Ferguson, builders of luxury steam mega-yachts to the Victorian and Edwardian elites. ⛵️🧵👇
Really sorry to hear this. Did proper menacing turns in Tine and Line of Duty and was great as James Connolly in Rebellion. RIP.
We are shocked and so deeply saddened by the tragic news of Brian McCardie's sudden death. He was an actor of such great talent who we were lucky to represent, and our thoughts are very much with his family and friends at this difficult time.
