Busy few days of important conversations in Dundee with Social Justice and Social Security Committee hearing from organisations about the need for fair and sustainable funding and the broader challenges facing the third sector. And an opportunity to ponder it all from a windy Dundee Law after a wee hike!

Delighted to recognise the fantastic efforts of St Thomas RC Church and Neilston Parish Church in serving the people of their community. Local drop ins and clubs keep communities connected and are an invaluable bit of recreation during the Summer!

The sad part is that someone could look at ten years of equal marriage and be unable to see the immense joy that those rights have brought for people who love one another, our families and friends. Well to borrow a phrase from across the pond: "we're not going back."

Another brilliant Labour win! Congratulations to Susan Manion, our new Scottish Labour councillor for Armadale and Blackridge.

A busy surgery this morning at Tesco Port Glasgow. Great to chat to constituents and provide them with the support they need. Keep an eye on my socials for my next surgery date and location!

Nice day of surgeries and visits. Warm hand of friendship group at Gibshill with Paul O’Kane MSP 🇺🇦, supermarket surgery in Greenock with Neil Bibby 🇺🇦 and thanks to Port Glasgow West CC for having me along to speak this evening.

It's not just us saying it. Audit Scotland, the SFC, Fraser of Allander & the IFS all conclude that pressures on the Scottish Budget are because of the SNP's own spending decisions. Scots are footing the bill for SNP incompetence. It's time for change. dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/…

Another great street surgery yesterday. Johanna Baxter MP and I took to the streets in Lochwinnoch to talk to constituents about any issues and concerns in and around the village. Good conversations and lots of work to take forward!

The incompetence has to end, the economic carnage has to end, and the waste has to end. In 2026, we can turn the page on 17 years of the SNP. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

It was great to be in Bridge of Weir today with Martin McCluskey MP as we held our latest street surgery. Another really good chance to chat to constituents and find what can we can do to help them.

From busy supermarkets, to streets in local communities, I’ve been out and about across West Scotland engaging with constituents about the issues that matter to them. Thanks to all my fellow Parliamentarians and Councillors who joined me along the way!

At least there’s sun shyiiiinnne over Lough Foyle 🤣

Services are facing brutal cuts because of SNP financial mismanagement. How did we get here? 👇

This briefing from the SNP on their catastrophic budget incompetence says a lot about their attitude to the public’s money. “We haven’t looked under the bonnet properly in years so it is time to act.” They’ve not done anything properly for years.

Opinion: Ignore the spin, the SNP have no one to blame but themselves for their disastrous budget cuts. dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/… dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/…

The SNP has lost its way, is incompetent in government, and is bad with your money. My response to the finance statement today.

My reaction to the Programme for Government. Yet another SNP plan that takes the sticking-plaster approach and is filled with rehashed announcements. It is clear the First Minister and the SNP are out of ideas on how to credibly tackle the challenges facing our country.

An honour to sponsor the Beyond Srebrenica event at Scottish Parliament last night, where we watched #Inseperable play & heard the powerful testimonies of survivors of the Bosnian genocide. This learning in schools across Scotland is invaluable & it’s important to see it in Parliament

Ditching human rights legislation. Seemingly timing out the Learning Disability, Autism and Neurodiversity Bill. "Reprofiling" a long promised promised £10m Changing Places Toilet Fund. What does this say to those whose rights are so often most at risk?
