 Your Party MP Zarah Sultana addresses the Village Hotel picket, December 19, 2025

YOUR PARTY MP Zarah Sultana and dozens of trade unionists braved the wind and rain to join striking workers on the Village Hotel picket in Govan on Thursday night.

Workers at the site made history over the summer with the first strike at a major hotel chain since 1979, winning equal pay with colleagues in Edinburgh.

But they returned to the picket line last month in a bid to win a minimum of the real living wage for all workers, regardless of age.

Unite convener Daniel Friel told the rally: “Village are more than happy to spend lots of money throughout this dispute bussing up workers from across the UK to cover the work that we would have been doing.

“This is hugely expensive for them, it’s a lot more expensive than it would be just to pay us equally at the new living wage, but they would rather do that because it avoids, from their perspective, a dangerous precedent.

“They know that as soon as we get it in Glasgow, we’re going to move across other sites in the UK.”

Keir Starmer objects to criticism of the IDF. He asks how could anyone object to them starving people to death, forced marches like the Nazis did, bombing Gaza's hospitals and universities, mass-murdering journalists, healthworkers and starving people queuing for food, killing and raping prisoners and murdering children. He calls for people to stop obstructing his genocide for Israel.

 Police cordon off an area at Bondi Beach after a reported shooting in Sydney, December 14, 2025

GUNMEN attacked a Hanukkah celebration on Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, today [yesterday], killing at least 12 people in an “evil, anti-semitic, terrorist attack.”

The shooting began at about 6.47pm local time at the Archer Park area of the beach, where hundreds had gathered for the “Chanukah by the Sea” event marking the start of the eight-day Jewish festival.

Police said the attackers, armed with what they described as “long guns,” opened fire on the crowd as the beach was packed with families, swimmers and tourists.

At least 29 people were wounded, including two police officers, New South Wales police commissioner Mal Lanyon said.

One gunman was shot dead by police at the scene, while a second was arrested and remained in a critical condition in hospital.

…

Green Party leader Zack Polanski, Britain’s only Jewish political leader, said that he was “thinking of everyone in Australia and those around the world in the Jewish Community who know this fear and loss.”

“Our community is once again mourning,” he said in a statement on his way to a Chanukah event.

Your Party’s Zarah Sultana and Jeremy Corbyn were among those sending messages of solidarity with the Jewish community online, with Mr Corbyn saying: “In moments like these, we must remember our common humanity, reaffirm our opposition to hatred, and stand up for the rights of everyone to worship in freedom, safety and peace.”

Campaign group Jewish Voice for Liberation shared the Jewish Council of Australia’s message of “horror” at the shooting, adding: “Whatever the extreme level of violence suffered by civilians in Gaza, it is no excuse for the murder of uninvolved civilians thousands of miles away.”

YOUR PARTY will back independent community-based socialists in next year’s local elections in England, the new party’s members have agreed.

In a vote taken at the party’s founding conference at the weekend, and by members online, it decided to support “independent socialist candidates of good standing where there is evidence of candidates being engaged in community campaigning and having the support of their local communities or trade unions branches.”

The vote was by 81.5 per cent to 18.5 on a turnout of over 10,000 of Your Party’s 55,000 members. The party will also stand its own candidates.

Members also endorsed an electoral strategy of targeting seats where the party has a reasonable chance of winning, rather than seeking to stand everywhere.
