Her new column kicks off with a look at some fo the challenges facing the anti-war movement in Scotland.
You can also listen to an interview with Sophie, discussing some of her plans for the column.

The launch comes at a critical time in relation to Palestine, the Middle East and the global system as a whole. We invite you to take part in the discussion. Please register in advance here.
