We are hearing from @little_pengelly & @duponline that trade union provisions in #GoodJobsBill cannot proceed because a code of conduct has not yet been developed.
We do not buy that argument, and it is a misrepresentation of the bill.

The BBC reports that it would cost the average football fan £7.5k to make the trip to the World Cup.
Scotland’s fans deserve better than being priced out of the tournament they’ve waited 28 years to see.

Yesterday, Reform’s entire MSP cohort opposed the introduction of a £25 ticket cap for away football fans.
In the Hamilton by-election only a year ago, their candidate regular proposed lifting the alcohol ban at games. That mask of populist insurgency already beginning to slip.

Cuts are a political choice.
As the new Cabinet Secretary for Public Service Reform gets down to work, unions won't be silent nor shy when faced with cuts to jobs and services.
