Yet another twist in the SNP saga at Holyrood. People across East Kilbride and Strathaven continue to pay the price for this never-ending drama. Changing leaders isn’t enough - we need a new government. It’s time for Scotland to get back on track with Anas Sarwar at the helm.…

3 PMs since 2019 UK election and 3 FMs since 2021 Scottish election.

No wonder Carol Mochan MSP is shaking her head. The Scottish Government knew this report was coming and the general direction it was taking. I have just returned from Ireland and they are also incorporating Cass review in to their own consultation. Children’s lives are at stake.

Wes delivers the text book answer on how to deal with Qs about the £28bn

The one thing that unites the two worn out governments of the Tories and the SNP is a consistent refusal to be honest about how bad things are. Neither is willing to admit the truth: they have run into dead ends and are unable to bring the change and reform we need. It won’t be…

Council services face even more cuts next year after today’s Scot Govt budget plans.

The approach adopted by Glasgow’s politicians over past decade has failed. We once again call on our city’s politicians to adopt a different approach.

Fight the cuts, don’t pass them on.

That’s a wrap for 2023 campaigning. Thank you to the thousands of people across East Kilbride, Strathaven and surrounding villages who have taken the time to discuss their hopes and fears for our communities. They want change and Labour can deliver it. 🌹
