I visited City of Glasgow College Riverside Campus alongside my Glasgow colleagues John Grady MP and Patricia Ferguson to see the incredible facilities across science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The practical expertise which is taught on campus can transform young lives.

I am proud to have led a Westminster Hall debate on poverty in Glasgow North Eastโ€”where life expectancy is lowest in the UK. I grew up in Easterhouse. I know what poverty looks like. In a country this wealthy, people are dying because they are poor. That should shame us all.

Today is #VEDay. A day to remember those who fought in the Second World War and protected our freedom. We must never forget their bravery and sacrifice in bringing peace to Europe. #VEDay80

It was a pleasure to write for Parliament News on the urgent need to tackle poverty in Glasgow North East. We have an opportunity to act. And it is time we seized it, for the sake of those who need us most. Read more here: parliamentnews.co.uk/poverty-in-glaโ€ฆ

This week I raised Martinโ€™s case at PMQsโ€”he and his children are stuck in temporary accommodation, without support or stability. While the UK Government is making the biggest investment in social housing in a generation, Scotland is falling behind. Families deserve better.

This week I visited the First Bus ๐ŸšŒ depot to talk about the changes needed to give Glasgow the bus network it deserves. Buses are a lifeline to my constituents, and they must be regular and affordable. As a bus user myself, I will always push for improved services in this area
