"The central message of the day was that numbers matter: racism can be challenged and defeated when enough people and organisations come together in opposition. While the day should be seen as a victory, we need to remember that far-right activity is growing in towns and cities across Scotland, and can often quickly mobilise to match or outnumber anti-racist forces. It is clear we need to carry forward the momentum seen in Glasgow into sustained, widespread anti-racist organising across the country." - reports Lewis Akers

Lewis Akers reports on a huge anti-fascist mobilisation that outnumbered far right protesters trying to capitalise on the stabbing in Belfast On Saturday, thousands of anti-racists gathered in Glasgow city centre as part of a Stand Up To Racism demonstration to reclaim Buchanan Steps, following a re...

Glaswegians of all backgrounds and and of all faiths and none will stand together against any attempts to spread violence and hatred in our communities. Time and again we have shown the far right that a majority of us reject their racist poison. On Tuesday we saw horrific scenes as 500 joined a far right protest in Glasgow. We will not allow fascists to march on our streets unopposed. Join us to reclaim our streets as anti-racist, anti-fascist and a community that welcomes all.

The counts are, the SNP is once again the biggest party in Holyrood.

While not an outright majority - John Swinney has yet to rule out the constitutional question. Add the Scottish Greens advance to the mix - and it is the biggest independence majority in parliament yet.

But does it matter? Have we heard it all before?

Join the discussion towards a serious strategy for independence and what that might look like in the shifting political context of 2026 in the UK and international order.

Sophie Johnson is a columnist at The National , member of the Conter.Scot editorial team, and Secretary for Stop the War Scotland.

7pm - 9pm Thursday 14 May / Renfield Centre, 260 Bath St. Glasgow, G2 4JP
