The SNP can’t get the basics right. Today I highlighted the sorry state of Scotland’s roads. The SNP continue to starve our local councils of funding. Scottish Labour will establish a £350million Roads Repair Fund to fix the potholes.

The UK Labour Government is improving children's lives across the UK, including lifting 2,260 in West Dunbartonshire out of poverty. We need a Scottish Labour Government more interested in an education recovery programme rather than the same gimmicks & more SNP broken promises.

Tomorrow marks the 85th anniversary of the Clydebank Blitz, where our town suffered horrendous loss - 528 people killed, only 8 of 12,000 homes left undamaged. I highlighted this today in the House, and how we must continue to commemorate those who lost their lives in the Blitz.

📝It's been a busy week in Parliament and in West Dunbartonshire! Take a look at some of what I got up to last week as your MP👇

At Northern Ireland Questions, I highlighted the record investment the Executive has recently received in Barnett Consequentials from our UK Labour Government, calling on the Executive to produce a balanced, multi-year budget that will deliver for the people of Northern Ireland.

Shame on the SNP for trying to silence me on child poverty. They tried their best to shout me down today at PMQs but failed. The SNP cannot handle the truth that they had 8 years to lift the two child benefit cap - it takes a Labour Government to deliver.

📝It's been a busy start to the month in Parliament and in West Dunbartonshire! Take a look at some of what I've been up to over the last few weeks as your MP👇

Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park Destination Group expressed their concerns to me regarding West Dunbartonshire Council's proposed visitor levy. I argued visitor levies should be invested in to local tourism economies, rather than to fill a hole in local councils' budgets.

It is with great sadness that I learned of the sad passing of Tony Worthington, MP for Clydebank and Milngavie from 1987 to 2005. Tony was a great man and will be remembered not least for his work to secure compensation for the victims and families of asbestos related illness.

Little Duke was hit by a car and found by a kind lady who rushed him to the hospital. Unfortunately, she couldn’t afford his treatment, so she asked for help. Even though I was at my grandma’s funeral, I rushed there immediately and took the little one under my care.

How can you tell how old that white pine tree is — and how can that reveal some mysteries about a forest’s history? NOTE: some of the southern pines, like loblolly pine, are “multinodal” — capable of producing more than one whorl of branches per year. #forest #trees #nature #science #history

Rep. Moulton: "Trump said that 'people die in wars' but at least we owe them an explanation. Now 3 families are living that nightmare. My heart is with the fallen and the wounded. They deserve better leadership than this. Mr. President, what are you asking them to die for?"

Big corporations have way too much power in America today, and the President has doubled down on it by filling up their coffers and giving them a seat at the table in decisions of war and peace. This is an outrage, and in Congress I’m working to bring the power back where it belongs: We the People.

Don’t let these MAGA influencers lie to you or distract you. President Trump’s big ugly bill is taking healthcare away from millions while he uses his DOJ to target his enemies. We see MAGA influencers and politicians will justify anything Trump does to stay in the good graces of Dear Leader.
