Fake police officers patrolling our streets at night, intimidating people going about their daily lives, won’t make our streets any safer.

We must see action by the police and others against this threat to our democracy and society.

We must stand against the far right in all its forms – on our streets, in our media, in our politics, wherever we find them.

Bringing this rise forward would be cruel and regressive. After a lifetime of work and National Insurance contributions, people deserve dignity, security and certainty in retirement, not to have the goalposts moved so the Treasury can save…

Labour and the incoming Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, must come clean now. Millions of people cannot plan their futures around official guidance that the government apparently intends to abandon.

The Scottish Government and VisitScotland should also ensure that no public money or promotional support is used to market businesses that are choosing to host far-right political figures.

Scotland should have no place for those who profit from hate, or seek to normalise the far right.

Katie Hopkins has built her career by spreading racism, Islamophobia and hatred.

With a new prime minister about to take office, he should scrap this divisive guidance.

August 5 will be a shameful day for human rights and a devastating blow for trans people who have been fearing this for a long time.

Scotland should not be a staging post for Trump’s military machine and his reckless war.

The Scottish Government must stop hiding behind Westminster and start using every power and lever it has.

His war on Iran has already had devastating consequences, and now he risks pulling the whole region into even deeper catastrophe to satisfy his massive ego.

Donald Trump is a dangerous, warmongering fascist president who has shown contempt for international law and human rights while inflicting terror upon people across the Middle East.

If the UK is to be a credible voice for peace, then there must urgently be an end to the arming of war criminal regimes such as Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia.

Throwing even greater sums of money into the pockets of arms company bosses isn’t going to make the UK any more secure, and certainly not if we continue with a foreign policy that has done so much damage.

The university cannot cut its way to growth.

The UK Government and the courts have criminalised conscience and sent a chilling message to anyone willing to speak out against injustice.

We stand in solidarity, not only against Trump but against everything he and his politics stand for.
