I was delighted that my Labour government delivered justice for ex miners on BCSSS. This will give a big pension uplift to people from Alloa & Grangemouth 👍

A special thanks to our constituent Stewart Livingstone who worked with me in representing those people on the scheme ✊

Here’s a quick Budget breakdown…

Wages up 👆
Poverty down 👇
Investment in Grangemouth 👍
More money for the Scottish Gov 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Let's make this Budget a true Labour budget that lifts people out of poverty and gets good well paid and skilled jobs into Grangemouth.

Thanks to Lorraine Joyce and family for campaigning to highlight that so many young people die from undiagnosed heart conditions following her son Aiden's passing.

I have submitted a Written Question to the Health Sec regarding making heart screening for young people mandatory.

Tillicoultry residents impacted by RAAC have had their lives turned upside down and 2 years down the line the Scottish Government have abandoned them.

Today, once again, I highlighted the residents heartbreaking situation in Housing and Communities Questions in Westminster.

This morning I joined students, lecturers, trade unionists and @richardleonardmsp.bsky.social at Alloa Campus and spoke about how important it is that our college in Clackmannanshire is saved and receives the funding it deserves.

The Scottish Government must fund further education properly.

I've had lots of questions about me getting the whip back and why I wanted it back.

It's because I believe the Labour Party remains the most likely vehicle to deliver the change we desperately crave and the best place for me to effect that change is within the party 🌹

Tillicoultry RAAC residents who have had their world turned upside down for years are due a fair settlement so they can have somewhere they can call home.

The SNP can’t hide from this any longer, they have to do what’s right and give RAAC impacted people justice.

Huge congratulations to Sunnyside Primary School in Alloa for reaching the finals of the Kellogg's Breakfast Club Awards!

Breakfast clubs aren't just about a meal - they’re about giving every child the best possible start to the day.

Well done to all the staff and pupils! 👏

The Labour Party should govern by real Labour Party values.

The leadership must appreciate this and change course.

It is a stain on this country that there are still people living in flammable cladded buildings like Grenfell.

And as well as the victims & families, the firefighters of @fbunational.bsky.social that now suffer from diseases because of their heroic efforts at Grenfell, deserve answers too.

Tony Benn and Mick McGahey were giants of the labour and Anti-Nuclear weapons movements.

They knew that building weapons of mass destruction is immoral, dangerous and no way to improve the lives of ordinary people.

We don't need more bombs or killing @scottishcnd.bsky.social

The Labour Party way is to lift people out of poverty. Lift the 2 Child Cap now.

It's simple. The Budget has to tax the multimillionaires and billionaires and invest in the public services we need.
