SSP Split

For those interested in the situation in Scotland where the SSP has split following the Tommy Sheridan case against the News of The World, my fellow Green Left supporter Jim Jepps was lucky enough to attend both the recent meetings in Scotland of the old and new socialist groupings. Amongst a lot of sectarian reporting from some of the left, where factions line up with one group or the other, Jim's report for Socialist Unity Network shines out as an honest account of the meetings and the general situation, though like me he does tend to have more sympathy with the arguments and trajectory of the United Left/SSP than the new Sheridan/"Solidarity" group. Well done Jim!
