Across East Lothian, voters are sick and tired of this extreme, out-of-touch government.

East Lothian Labour will continue working tirelessly to earn voters’ trust.

Scottish Labour stands ready to deliver the change our communities desperately need.

On #AutismAwarenessDay I want to highlight the amazing work in my Ward by Haddington Athletic FC Youth Section. Their Autistic & Neurodiverse Football Team has grown from strength to strength. Well done to Colin Bowsher & his Team. 👍 Team United

Great morning on our Scottish Labour stall at Haddington Farmers Market followed by a door step session in the Ward.

Many thanks to everyone who took the time to talk to us & tell us you are fed up with two failing government & are supporting Labour.🌹

Astonishing in the week the Scottish Government launch their Housing Bill, their housebuilding policy is described as being ‘all but over’. It is time they recognised the #HousingEmergency in Scotland, instead of putting sticking plasters over the issue.

This is either the arrogant act of an entitled man who has stopped caring what the public thinks.

Or the demob-happy self-indulgence of someone who doesn't expect to be PM much longer.

Either way, it shows a blatant disrespect for the office he should feel privileged to hold.

2010: 70% of people satisfied with the NHS.

2024: Just 24% satisfied with the NHS.

This graph explains why.

Highest NHS satisfaction levels ever recorded with Labour in 2010.

Lowest satisfaction levels ever with the Tories today.

The Tories have failed. It is time for change. 🌹

The fact is that the election this year is about change versus the status quo. It’s about Labour versus two tired governments.

More of the same, from an economy on the rocks to ferries that cannot leave the docks, just won’t cut it anymore.

This is what the Conservatives were doing to NHS waiting list in the 30 years before Covid and the current industrial action.

Please don’t let them gaslight you into thinking they would be successful but for those factors.

They’ve only ever overseen increasing waiting lists.
