We're a government that believes in the power of local government. #LGAConf24

Joined by Deputy General Secretary Dave Moxham, #CllrRichardBrodie & other amazing speakers at Dumfries and Galloway Trades Union Council Anti-Racist rally today in Dumfries today. Great to see so many from all political backgrounds & none standing against the far-right in our region. #TogetherWeAreStronger

A massive thank you to our Armed Forces Champion Archie Dryburgh SL Councillor for AE&E Ward MBE for his very kind donation to The Veterans Garden Dumfries this morning for £661.54. A remarkable man who is currently fighting his own health battle, but still looking after The Armed Forces Community.

I wish that happened in Scotland. D&G needs more support but less centralisation. DGC has already 'saved' £150m and now has to 'save' another £30m. BTW save is a euphemism for the budget cuts imposed by the @SNP Govt. #SupportLocalDemocracy #InvestInDandG

I have never been more optimistic about the future than I am today. Let’s seize the opportunities for Britain - together. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

This Labour Government is fixing Britain's foundations, to give every child the chance to succeed in life.

It was fantastic to have Carlisle Labour new MP Julie Minns at DG Labour local party meeting at Galabank #Annan today to talk all things cross border links and the work of the new The Labour Party Government as we rebuild borderlands communities so badly let down by the Tories 👏🏻

Next week’s Budget will be the start of a new chapter for Britain. And there can be no better place to start than breaking down the barriers to opportunity for our children.

This Labour Government will build a Britain where those who can work, will work. This means an accelerated rollout of local services to provide more employment, skills and health support for disabled people and long-term sick, to help them back into work.

Long overdue, kudos Colin Smyth MSP

x.com/PolitlcsUK/sta… The Labour Party are prepared to take brave & bold budget decisions to invest in infrastructure, grow the economy & create jobs The grownups are back in the room & have challenged those who prefer austerity & uncosted promises to respond. 🌹

Today is a historic and momentous day. The first ever woman Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves will soon be delivering The Labour Party's #Budget24, the first in 14 years.

🚨 JUST ANNOUNCED: £125 million to set up GB Energy, headquartered in Aberdeen.

The largest real terms funding for Scotland since devolution ... £3.4bn to Scottish Government through the Barnett Formula. Let's hope the @SNP Govt use it to "invest, invest, invest". That would be a welcome & much needed change for Dumfries and Galloway 🌹
