A PACKED Stop the War and Scottish CND fringe meeting called for support for a motion pushing for peace talks in Ukraine, earlier today.

She called on activists to fight to affiliate their union branches and trades councils to Stop the War, and announced the forthcoming launch of a Stop the War trade union network.
