At yesterday’s Scottish Affairs Committee meeting, I asked how Scottish Colleges can be expected to meet the demands of industry when they’ve received a 20% reduction in funding from Scottish Government in the last 5 years, with a 27% reduction in staff, the lowest staff count ever.

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.

As Foreign Secretary visits India today, I requested a statement upon her return confirming my constituent, Jagtar Singh Johal's case was raised & his release insisted upon. Securing the freedom of a British citizen unjustifiably imprisoned for 9 years should be our top priority. #FreeJaggiNow

At last night's Westminster Hall debate on type 1 diabetes testing for children, I spoke about the need for early testing to prevent emergency diagnoses, commending the work of Diabetes Scotland in their efforts to improve diabetes testing & screening in Scotland.

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.

🥃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.

April is a landmark month for people in West Dunbartonshire and across the UK - here's why👇 We’re putting more money in your pocket as we raise minimum wages, cut energy bills & extend the freeze on fuel duty👷‍♀️⚡️🚗 I hope everyone enjoys the Easter weekend!

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.

Take a look at some of what I did last week in Parliament and in West Dunbartonshire as your MP, including debates, meetings and commemorating the 85th anniversary of the Clydebank Blitz📝

I highlighted how young people in my West Dunbartonshire constituency are eager for apprenticeships in the primes, asking industry executives what barriers there are to matching supply with this demand, emphasising the need for long term contracts to provide good, well-paid jobs.

I'm disgusted at Democratic "leadership" for being so spineless and refusing to deal with this. I have personally called Dem gov's, secretary of states, Hakeem Jeffries and Schumer staffers, visited 34 Dem senate staffers in DC...no interest in this subject...NONE. IT IS STRICTLY TABOO

“It’s time to get up and fight.” Sen. London Lamar tells Feminist’s Sydney Verde that rigged congressional maps are part of a pattern from Tennessee Republicans, who are targeting Black political power at every level. Lamar says it’s a #JimCrow tactics and time to organize at the polls.

I am aware the sound is awful and that the truth in times of alternative truth is triggering. But Jesus was not American, he wouldn't even qualify as Israeli, but would be considered a Jewish Palestinian. He wouldn't be white, was persecuted. "Whatever you do for the least, you do for me."

SCOTUS gutted the Voting Rights Act two weeks ago. Today, thousands crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma and marched to Montgomery to say NO! John Lewis bled for that bridge. We are not handing it over without a fight. We are not going back.
