STURGEON AND POPE FRANCIS SING FROM SAME HYMNSHEET ON NUCLEAR WEAPONS

Pope Francis and Nicola Sturgeon found themselves singing from the same hymn sheet on nuclear weapons this Sunday morning. The Pope wants the Faslane-based nuclear submarine fleet scrapped, and the First Minister has told Sky News she is in complete agreement with the Pontiff about ridding Scotland of the Trident nuclear weapon system.
She stated that it is “an absolute red line” for the SNP in any negotiations after the General Election.
The SNP leader confidently laid out her four red line demands to Jeremy Corbyn this morning – insisting he has to give Scotland massive concessions if he wants the keys to No 10.
Ms Sturgeon also listed a second independence referendum, an end to Brexit, and wholesale devolution of powers on drugs, migration and employment.

WORKERS WILL BE GIVEN FULL EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS

Unite general secretary Len McCluskey said: “This is a fantastic offer from Labour to the electorate.  When Labour wins, nurses win, teachers win, manufacturing workers win, car workers win, young people win and pensioners win.” Collective bargaining will also be rolled out across the economy, bringing workers and employers together to agree legal minimum standards on pay and hours.
