SCOTTISH Labour leadership hopeful Richard Leonard has saluted the “timely” convening of the Morning Star’s Big Capital, Small Nations conference in Glasgow this weekend.
The summit — featuring an opening address by shadow chancellor John McDonnell — will focus on “how politics can be changed to enable small nations, like Scotland, to exercise democratic power in the interests of working people.”
Mr Leonard, a veteran socialist who has won the backing of every trade union to declare a favourite so far, warned that Scotland is rapidly turning into a “branch plant economy” with over a third of its economy owned by overseas investors.
               COLL McCAIL rejects the Scottish Establishment’s attempt at an ‘elite lockout’ of Reform UK and says the unions should be wary of co-option by their class enemies in Holyrood just to keep one set of austerity-mongers in power instead of Reform UK
