As the old saying goes, 3 days is a long time in politics. Here are some things you should know:
Israel's Assault on Palestine
The Stop the War Coalition have called for an emergency demonstration in London for next Saturday. On Friday an impromptu demonstration saw thousands protesting the Israeli attacks on the Palestinian population.
More here. Unfortunately we have no transport to London planned but we will update the blog with any changes. It would be great to hear reports from any comrades who are able to attend.
FBU Escalates Strike Action
Closer to home the Fire Brigades Union have announced a further 8 consecutive days of strike action, which is brilliant. Get your union branch to support them - send messages of support to Chris Tapp here: chris.tapp@fbu.org.uk and visit pickets if possible.
