That’s me wrapped up after my latest coffee morning at Livingston Rugby Club last weekend, thanks again to everyone who came along. We had some really good, wide-ranging conversations, from immigration to dangerous dogs to how we get our NHS working properly for patients.

East Calder has waited long enough. ⌛ Five years on from SNP promises of “further and faster” progress, we’re now being told they’ll start planning a new health centre. People here don’t need more talk, they need delivery.

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.

In Mid Calder with Jordan Stokoe and the team and the big issue that keeps coming up here is the NHS. People are fed up of broken SNP promises, especially on the East Calder Medical Centre that still hasn’t been delivered.

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.

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.

Ever noticed money leaving your account for something you don’t even remember signing up to? 💸 New rules from the UK Labour Government are coming in to tackle subscription traps and put you back in control.

🏘️ East Calder keeps growing. So why are local families still waiting for the medical centre they've been promised by the SNP for years? With more homes approved in Calderwood and no sign of construction on the health centre starting, residents are understandably becoming increasingly frustrated.

Out in Kirknewton with Jordan Stokoe for Almond Valley and the message on the doorstep is clear, people want change. No matter how they’ve voted before, voters here know only Scottish Labour can beat the SNP in Almond Valley.

Sen Schiff calls the court ruling blocking Trump’s $1.776 billion slush fund a start — but only a start. Next week he’s introducing legislation to shut it down permanently and make sure convicted cop assaulters never see a dollar of your tax money.
