It’s simple: Scotland’s buses should be built in Scotland.

Our evenings will be duller as no Euros to watch 🙁 Fantastic result for the Lionesses /England and arise Dame Sarina Wiegman 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 #Euro2025 has been superb.

Walking Rosie & bumped into Mack and Kenny, from Dumfries and Galloway Council road patching crew, out doing their stuff on St Mary's Ind Estate road. Due for a MOT later this yr but great to see interim work being done. #LocharRdRepairs👍 #HelpingLocalBusiness👍 Dumfries and Galloway Council

In a rural region we should be focussed on growing our bus services. We, in the Labour Group, intend to ensure this Administration does just that. #LabourLoveDandG ❤️

Excellent news, hopefully this filters up to Scotland and D&G, where our SME's are the the backbone of our economy. Take note of proposed business rates review too.... SNP Scot Gov... you could learn something about growing the economy. #WhatWorks 🌹 theguardian.com/business/2025/…

Local boy Jack McConnel for Galloway & West Dumfries is a fantastic candidate who can deliver for Galloway and West Dumfries. Great to see Anas Sarwar alongside Jack, focussing on local issues in the West of our region, which require more regard from Scottish Government. #ANewDirectionforDandG 🌹

Arthur Ramsay lives in Locharbriggs Here's his petition against the cuts to buses facebook.com/share/p/19VkdA… I have signed it as a local & with DG Labour Cllrs ensured a mtg will be held on Monday 11 Aug to hold the SNP to account. #SaveOurBuses 🚌

Not yet back to the 80's, but bring it on at Tannadice next week. 🧡 my Team. Forever an Arab 🍊

Spot on Anas Sarwar #DandGNeedsANewDirection 🌹

Thanks for a wonderful evening Dean Friedman at the Theatre Royal Dumfries. A modern day troubadour, would recommend catching his UK tour. Thanks Derek Crichton for photos, great to see you and Gillian. Collectively, none of us have aged at all since the 70's 😘

An excellent, thought provoking article from fellow Arab, #BrianTaylor. "Let us be courageous" ... an excellent mantra. Do politicians have the courage to reform care for the elderly? | The Herald share.google/OILXNXf5a0UbhK…

Great to be at Galloway Country Fair today, and seeing some great local produce from Galloway Fudge, Sulwath Brewery and others. Still on tomorrow - well worth a visit!

Special Full Council today. I ensured concerns from constituents in #Heathhall and #Locharbriggs re. cuts to bus services impacting access to work school appointments & leisure were fully aired & addressed. share.google/CjfAVjb493ziFt… to view #ListeningToLochar🌹 #SaveOurbuses🚌

Step into the farmhouse kitchen at Ellisland and discover how the Burns family cooked and lived. The kitchen was the heart of the home, and warmed by the stove. ellislandfarm.co.uk/visit/see-do/ #LivingHistory #Heritage #EllislandFarm #scotlandstartshere

It's a fact that child poverty figures have increased in D&G, under 18 yrs of an SNP Govt. 26% of our children live in poverty, the 8th highest figure in Scotland. The SNP have turned their backs on rural areas & our children are paying the price. #DandGNeedsANewDirection 🌹

You will 🧡 🖤

We have written to the National Librarian about her decision to remove The Women Who Wouldn't Wheesht from the centenary exhibition for the National Library of Scotland, Dear Library, in response to complaints from its LGBT staff network. 1/2

Absolutely not on. I'm no fan of "The Times" but this is a ban on free speech, which is not something Public Servants at National Library of Scotland should be doing. Public Servants have a duty to be impartial and uphold free speech. At least when at their work. Reverse this idiotic decision.

A deserved well done to the Robert Burns Ellisland Museum & Farm team. The flute allows us to appreciate Burns music & will help raise funds to restore the family home built by the Bard. 🪈 BBC News - Robert Burns family flute restored and played again after 150 years bbc.com/news/articles/…

Always a privilege and honour to attend. My thanks to my colleague and Veterans Champion Archie Dryburgh SL Councillor for AE&E Ward & #CommunityandDemocraticServices at Dumfries and Galloway Council for your committment to this event. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧 #VJDay80 #LestWeForget
