SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon has announced plans to push for a second Scottish independence referendum, setting Holyrood on a collision course with Westminster and the UK courts. Only mass struggle can secure Scotland’s right to self-determination.
Last week, local residents in Glasgow successfully resisted an attempted Home Office deportation. This inspiring example shows the way forward in the fight against the Tories’ hostile environment – through mass mobilisation and class solidarity.
Pro-independence parties have won an enlarged majority in the Scottish elections, placing Holyrood and Westminster on a collision course. The British ruling class are terrified of this constitutional crisis – yet another threat to their system.
Following Brexit, ruthless bosses are taking advantage of new immigration rules in order to exploit migrant labour even further. The labour movement must organise workers across the board and fight back against this race to the bottom.
Things are heating up in Scotland as elections approach. Former SNP leader Alex Salmond continues to clash with his successor, and has formed a new party. Holyrood and Westminster, meanwhile, are on a collision course over independence.
