Inflation is down again to 2.8% - welcome progress for families in the Livingston constituency still feeling the pressures of the cost of living crisis.

Just hours left to vote for change in Almond Valley. Out in Polbeth just now with Jordan Stokoe and the team, speaking to voters about the positive change Scottish Labour is offering for West Lothian and for Scotland.

From one successful butcher's shop to a farm shop, and soon a sports bar too... Dewar Family Butchers continue to go from strength to strength, and it was a pleasure to officially open their new premises in East Calder.

Rebuilding Britain for working people was at the heart of this year’s King’s Speech. 1/3

Two days to go. Out in Broxburn today with Jenny Young for Bathgate, speaking to voters who are ready for change after 19 years of rising waiting lists, falling school attainment and a government not focused on the basics.

I’ve cast my vote this morning for Jordon Stokoe for Almond Valley and Scottish Labour to reject Reform, beat the SNP and deliver the change that Scotlad needs. Polls are open until 10pm tonight. Make your plan to vote now: Iwillvote.org.uk

Nineteen years. That’s how long the SNP have had in power and too many families are still waiting longer, paying more, and seeing less. With just 19 days to go to the Scottish Parliament elections, it comes down to one question, if the SNP were going to fix it, why haven’t they done it already?

Out in Calderwood with Jordan Stokoe for the Almond Valley and of course the top issue that came up on the doors was East Calder Medical Centre. Five years on Angela Constance and the SNP promises of “further and faster action”… still nothing has been delivered.

On the doors in Dedridge this with Jordan Stokoe and one issue kept coming up again and again: the NHS. People told me the same thing. The staff are brilliant. The care, when you get it, is excellent. But the system just isn’t working. Too many stuck on waiting lists. Too many waiting too long.

Fuel prices are still a real pressure for a lot of people locally. ⛽ One useful thing to know about is Fuel Finder - you can now check the cheapest petrol prices near you in real time on your phone.

Reporter: "To what extent are Americans' financial situations motivating you to make a deal?" President Trump: "Not even a little bit…I don't think about Americans' financial situations."

I used to try to fit in, but I learned others' opinions reflect their limits, not mine. Being 'dangerously free' means owning your uniqueness. Once you stop seeking approval, your world opens up. The noise stops. The vision clears. The real work begins. 🎨✨

Steyer didn’t announce his campaign for Governor until late November 2025, and then he •stepped down* from Galvanized Energy — kinda like Trump stepped down from Trump Org & let his kids run it.

It’s pathetic that Trump—and Fetterman, his Republican echoing mouthpiece—are using an alleged assassination attempt to justify hiding in a ballroom. Claiming that opposing this charade endangers the president is a joke. Focus on more security, not more ballrooms!🤦🏿‍♂️

Trying to give my kid the old college head start by teaching him all the essential ping pong ball tricks for rush week. (I assume—Oberlin didn’t have frats, so I just had to pledge a vegan book club. Now I suck at ping pong and enter a trauma fugue around lentils.)
