I visited the new #Palestine Museum, Dundas Street Edinburgh where powerful and memorable images tell the Palestinian story through artwork.
Particularly striking is the testimony from Dr Khalil Khalistan, committed to looking after the wounded and dying in Gaza.
In memory of Child 991.

Honoured to carry the May Day banner at the AberdeenTUC March today.
Great to see such a strong turnout to celebrate the workers of the world.
Memorable words from Tommy Campbell at the rally :
“The only wars we should be fighting are the war on poverty and the war against attacks on human rights.”
