Take a look at some of what I got up to this week as your Member of Parliament for West Dunbartonshire, including my letter to the Transport Minister on driving test backlogs, and my question at PMQs📝

I welcomed the announcement that a new Youth Hub is coming to West Dunbartonshire! I look forward to working to secure the site for this Hub funded by UK Labour Government that will provide employment support to our young people - restoring opportunities for the next generation.

Today I welcomed the UK Government's recent announcement of £50million for defence growth in Scotland, with plans to build defence technical colleges in the West & East. This will create good, well-paid jobs for my West Dunbartonshire constituents and for people across Scotland.

🛠️I was delighted to join Clydebank Men's Shed to congratulate them on their award of £18,500 UK Government Pride in Place Impact Funding! I wish to thank Clydebank Men's Shed for all the hard work they do for the local community & I'm so pleased they have secured this funding.

I greatly enjoyed visiting our local community churches this past Christmas, including Hope Community Church in Clydebank, and Dalmuir Barclay. I asked the Church Commissioner what the Church can do to encourage more people to attend, as we approach Easter.

@sascampaigns.bsky.social investigation revealed 204,000+ hours of illegal sewage spills occurred in English waters last year, with Scottish Water only monitoring 30% of overflows in Scotland. I asked the UK Government to take tougher action to ensure water companies are held to account.

At today's Scottish Affairs Committee meeting on GB energy & the net zero transition, I asked when my constituents of West Dunbartonshire & people across Scotland will see the benefit of UK Labour Government investment in energy infrastructure materialise into lower energy bills.

It was great to visit Alexandria yesterday to present the Alexandria BID Group with their award of an amazing £100,000 of UK Labour Government Pride in Place Impact Funding! 🏬This will go towards setting up a brand new community hub and regenerating Alexandria's Main Street.

🥃The Scotch Whisky industry supports thousands of local jobs in West Dunbartonshire. I highlighted how the Scotch Whisky Association has described the import tariff cuts following the UK Labour Government's trade deal with India as 'transformational' - a massive win for Scotland's economy.

I am determined to ensure that young people in West Dunbartonshire don't miss out on the employment & training opportunities offered by Defence Technical Colleges. I asked if the Scottish Government have confirmed if they will match this UK Government funding for our colleges.

Great communication from Duncan Robinson here. Gets the playcall and is right in Paul Reed's ear. Pretty sure they went Wide (call for the pindown), Robinson is letting him know there's a Flare this time. Tells him to stay high. Mobley helps on the flare, Reed open on the roll

“Trump appeared to signal prior awareness of a Johnson–Farage electoral alignment in 2019, praising them as an ‘unstoppable force’. Shortly afterwards, the Brexit Party withdrew from 317 Tory-held seats — a pivotal moment in the election.”

I think with how Iran has strategically played this war, from the Lego videos to the ballistic missiles that can actively maneuvre to avoid interception they deserve every single penny of that $300 billion God the stuff I've learned about Iran because of Trump, like their average 105 IQ levels

AWESOME! A baby deer was moments from being swept away in Indiana floodwaters when Fire Captain Joe Sinclair jumped in to save her. “I’m sure she was just as relieved as we were,” Sinclair said. “I feel like any rescue is part of my job description.” Heroes don't always wear capes. Sometimes 1/2
