Parliament needs more working people in it and crucially, working people need representation from MP’s that know what working life is like ✊

Thanks to Richard Leonard for all his support in trying to make Alloa & Grangemouth a Labour Gain on the 4th July 🌹

Councils do not receive the funding they need from the SNP.

I stand with Falkirk Labour in sticking up for local families & saying from the outset that we will not back any proposal that puts children & young people from this area at a disadvantage by cutting the school week

A Labour government will provide a £134 million funding boost to deliver 160,000 more appointments a year for Scotland’s NHS.

In this General Election, a vote for Scottish Labour is a vote to protect our NHS 🌹

Thanks to everyone who joined me this evening ✊
We have taken our message of change out to people all over the constituency these last 4 months and we won’t stop until Polling Day. Only a Labour MP and Government can deliver the change our communities need 🌹

We’ve been campaigning all over Clacks and the TSB closing & leaving the county with 1 bank to service 50,000+ people has repeatedly came up in conversation. It’s another example of the demise of our High Streets & people getting less service. Things can be better than this 🌹

The Tories want to destroy it and the SNP can’t manage it. Our NHS needs saved and only Labour can be trusted with it.

I will fight to make our NHS in Forth Valley fit for purpose again 🌹

What a brilliant trip to the Tullibody Community Garden! It was great to hear about how local volunteers have transformed the area & created somewhere people can go & learn about gardening, growing fruit & veg and learn cooking skills ❤️

For months I’ve spoken with people across Alloa & Grangemouth while out campaigning. I’ve heard about what matters to you and your communities.

It’s time to elect an MP and a government that will work for you and will concentrate on your priorities.

The importance of extending the life of the refinery can’t be emphasised enough:

- for the workers
- their communities
- the apprentices of the future
- the local Grangemouth economy
- for Scotland’s energy security

I’m 100% behind the campaign to Keep Grangemouth Working 🌹

Thanks to everyone from EISFela for welcoming Cllr Euan Stainbank and myself on the picket line at Forth Valley College Falkirk Campus this morning. The fight for the future of Further Education in Scotland is still going strong! Solidarity with all lecturers, staff & students ✊

Consultations shouldn’t be a paper exercise but Clackmannanshire Council are running exactly that on the future of St Mungo’s PS.
I call on the Council to pause the consultation & enter into meaningful talks with parents, the community & the church, for everyone’s benefit.

Great to be out campaigning in Tullibody with Claire Baker

People desperately want a change and an end to the toxicity and divisive politics of the last decade and to have a government that gets on with the day job and the issues that matter to people 🌹

Well said Richard Leonard

The workers at the Grangemouth refinery need a proper transition - one that looks after their jobs and their communities.

Any proposal that jeopardises pupils attainment and negatively impacts their life chances should be off the table. Our young people deserve better than being the victims of the relentless cuts that are a product of SNP disinvestment.

Not only is the refinery a nationally important strategic asset for our energy security & Scotland’s economy, it’s a huge contributor to life in Grangemouth.
Local workers, their families & Grangemouth businesses all need the refinery to keep working. Please back the campaign.
