Great weather in Forres today for my local manifesto unveiling. I am standing on a real positive platform to improve the lives of local people.

A great morning in Forres. Myself and the team were speaking to local residents about the change they wanted to see. Labour will deliver that change

Teams out today in Nairn, Forres, and Elgin. Lots of people raising the NHS, in particular. Thank goodness James Hynam knows the issues in the NHS and has positive ideas about how to address them. #LabourDoorstep #win24

Good to chat to Michael Gregson’s campaign team on the doors just now. Michael will be an excellent hard working Councillor for the Inverness Central Ward. #voteScottishLabour on 26 September.
