We gather to say to politicians of all colours and persuasions:
You’ve less than 100 weeks to sort it. To sort out your way of getting us out of the mire which you’ve created

From BBC Scotland website:
The Scottish rally, organised by the STUC, will begin in George Square at 11:00 and will end at Glasgow Green.
The STUC said it will be led by former Remploy workers who lost their jobs when the government owned factories were closed.
Disability activists, trade unionists, community groups and public sector workers will be joined on the platform by organisations like the National Union of Students, the Church of Scotland and the Hardest Hit Coalition.
...
Robin Parker, the president of the National Union of Students in Scotland, who will be speaking in George Square, said: "Students are standing side-by-side with trade union and community members from across Scotland today because we don't want to see Westminster's austerity policies dump an entire generation on the scrapheap.
"The Scottish government has said they are putting a priority on tackling youth unemployment, but they can do more. If they are serious about tackling youth unemployment, they need to be serious about funding colleges.
"Our generation needs a future that works."
