For socialists this is the big one
NEIL FINDLAY MSP says the view from Scotland means only one thing: campaign now for Labour, or accept social carnage
Jeremy Corbyn

ACROSS the country Labour Party activists are dusting off their wellies, winter coats and scarves in preparation for a December 12 election.

While the prospect of dark nights, nippy frosts and snow may not set the hearts a flutter, the prospect of a bright red, Corbyn-led government casting a warm glow across Downing Street will.

Let’s make no mistake about it: for socialists this is the big one. This is the chance to elect a government that will transform our society by investing in our people, our industries and our communities.
