Scottish Labour Party

Scotland is the first country in the world to vote for free access to menstrual products. The law, which was unanimously passed in parliament in Edinburgh on Tuesday, obliges the administrations of public buildings to provide hygiene products for women free of charge.

Scottish Labour’s health spokeswoman, Monica Lennon, has stated that: "This will make a massive difference to the lives of women and girls and everyone who menstruates. There has already been great progress at a community level and through local authorities in giving everyone the chance of period dignity."

The British Labour Party has suspended its former leader Jeremy Corbyn. An internal report highlights, among other things, a lack of willingness to combat antisemitism as well as serious failure and interference by party headquarters in complaint procedures. Current labour boss Starmer imposed sanctions on his predecessor, saying that those who still considered the events to be exaggerated were themselves part of the problem and should not be in the Labour Party.
