Transcript Ignore the twitching in my left eyelid; it is merely the rhythmic protest of a […]
Jock Mulligan on Mandelson. The long and the winding road of Peter Mandelson’s political career has reached a bitter and a shameful end. At fughing last. For a man who twice walked away from the high table with the whiff of the backstairs deal hanging about him, these new tales from the Epstein papers have […]
I’ve sat in draughty community halls from Easterhouse to Maryhill for thirty years, and I’ve seen some shit in my time. I’ve seen the “vanguard” cults try to hijack local strikes and the middle-class “missionaries” come into our schemes to lecture us on solidarity before jumping into a taxi back to their Bearsden bungalows and […]

For decades, they’ve trailed around like the self-appointed high priests of the working class, but if you look at the wreckage they’ve left behind, especially here in Scotland, it’s clear their only real loyalty is to the survival of their own […]
