I was deeply saddened this morning with the news that Pope Francis has died, and I send my condolences to the Catholic community in Dunfermline and Dollar, and beyond. Pope Francis was a committed champion of peace, equality and tolerance. May he rest in peace.

Good news Aamer AnwarâœŠđŸŸđŸłïžâ€đŸŒˆ#BlackLivesMatter is making progress but it shouldn't require a lawyer to get assistance from a Cabinet Secretary. I am still waiting for a reply from Neil Gray MSP about access to Givinostat for my constituent. Neil, does he need to be able to afford a lawyer too?

Fantastic to be campaigning with Davy Russell for Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse this afternoon. The SNP has failed on health, education and social care for the past 18 years. Scotland needs a #NewDirection. Davy will be a powerful voice for his community and a great Scottish Labour MSP.

The The Labour Party government is reforming the NHS in England and embracing technology. Meanwhile my constituents are stuck with paper records, 8am rush with slim chance of a GP appointment and long waiting lists. Only Scottish Labour government at Holyrood can change that

Very pleased to share my first RUSI commentary, co-authored with my colleague Graeme Downie MP, on a critical question for Europe: how can we boost our collective defence without overloading the public finances? 👇 rusi.org/explore-our-re

The High North is of critical importance to the security of the UK and that of our allies. Pleased to see a strong response to my questions from Luke Pollard MP and look forward to hearing more when the SDR is published.

The defence and security industries are vital for our protection our economy. Myself and @ms_alex_baker spoke with ADS Group about funding the sector and how we make sure we have the skills in place to maximise opportunities for young people in Scotland and across the UK.

Great to be out campaigning for Davy Russell for Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse along with Joani Reid MP. Anger on the doorstep about NHS services in particular. People are fed up of the state of public services after 18 years of the SNP. It's time for a #NewDirection with Scottish Labour.

Lots of great conversations today with people across Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse. ☀ Communities like this are being failed by the SNP and only Scottish Labour can deliver a new direction.

The SNP ignore Scotland's defence industry and armed forces for ideological reasons. That puts Scotland and the rest of the UK at risk. scotsman.com/news/politics/

We need to set the political battleground, not our opponents. People need to feel we are focussed on putting money in their pocket. We need to use language people understand and talk to them where they are. If we fail. We will lose. It's that simple. politicshome.com/opinion/articl

On the day that Ukrainian troops march alongside British personnel to commemorate VE Day, it’s completely wrong for Reform to pull down the Ukrainian flag from council buildings. They should reverse this decision. The Ukraine conflict is a reminder that freedom isn’t free, and

The First Minister claims "extensive dialogue" yet according to an FoI, Ministers didn't meet Babcock, the largest engineering firm in Scotland, for at least four years. The FM doesn't care about Scottish economy or jobs in Fife.
