SSP MAKES HUGE GAINS ON BACK OF ANTI-WAR MOOD

Today Scottish Socialist MSP Tommy Sheridan spoke at an anti-war rally at Stirling University. 250 students attended and 48 joined the SSP. At St Andrew’s University on Monday 150 people attended and 50 expressed an interest in joining the SSP. In Cupar, Fife, on the same evening 100 people attended and 25 joined the SSP.

Tommy Sheridan said,

“The SSP is at the cutting edge of the anti-war movement and we are reaping the benefits. In the last month, over 500 new members have joined the SSP and I predict that more than that number will have left the Labour Party.

Today Labour members are in rebellion at Westminster and they are divided at Holyrood. Labour Party members are voting with their feet in Scotland and on May 1st they will vote with their crosses to punish New Labour. I shall be speaking at a school and students’ strike in Glasgow on Friday lunchtime and I predict that many will respond.”
