US baseless accusations of drug trafficking and the outrageous putting of a bounty on a president of a sovereign country do not bode well, reports PABLO MERIGUET
IT’S Scottish Labour conference time in Glasgow and as always that means some self-reflection as a party is required.
With Labour looking likely to form the next British government, it is perhaps more important than ever we really pay attention to what is said and decided here over the next few days and, most importantly, take part democratically in the debates and the decisions ourselves as members and trade unionists.
It does feel as if there is a different atmosphere around conference this year. I accept that over most of the last decade there have been few occasions apart from 2017 where you could genuinely say Scottish Labour felt like it was experiencing a resurgence, but there is definitely a renewed sense of opportunity pervading the conference hall this year with council by-election victories under our belt and promising polling providing the wind in our sails.
