John Swinney spent the by election talking up Reform for his own short term political aims. This was a dishonest and shameful campaign from the SNP that the people of Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse firmly rejected. After 18 years of the SNP Scotland needs a new direction.

The people of Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse chose the politics of hope over the politics of despair. Next year - when the rest of Scotland gets a chance to have their say - I have no doubt that they will do the same. My column in the The Daily Record -

Welcome to the Scottish Parliament Davy Russell MSP MSP! I know Davy will work tirelessly to deliver for the people of Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse. They are leading the way to a Scottish Labour government in 2026.

Once again Uist bears the brunt of SNP ferry mismanagement. While island businesses struggle with lost bookings and islanders are left without a lifeline service, where is the compensation promised by the Scottish Government? hebrides-news.com/snp-under-fire…

Scots have had enough of the weak leadership of John Swinney and the SNP.

I’m heading to the Royal Highland Show today, looking forward to a good couple of days of conversations about the future of Scottish agriculture. Tomorrow morning I’ll be representing @scottishlabour at @nfustweets Big Political Debate.

The breakdown in Fergus's relationship with his party highlights again that the SNP has no concern for the Highlands. We need a change of government in Edinburgh, with the Highlands at it's heart, and only Labour offers that option. 🌹

Great to catch up with Secretary of State for Scotland Ian Murray MP at the Royal Highland Show this week. We talked about UK Government investment in local projects and the important work that Brand Scotland is doing to promote Scotland and island produce around the world.

I represented @Scottishlabour in NFU Scotland Big Political Debate at the Royal Highland Show last week. We are still without a coherent Scottish agriculture policy nearly a decade on from Brexit. This SNP government are out of ideas and are letting down farmers and crofters.

Sign here John… It’s high time for the FM to honour the £4.4 million ferry fiasco cheque for Uist businesses. The compensation was to cover the SNP’s failures but months later no progress. Island businesses are digging into reserves to stay open this season,they need support.

Scottish doctors have said that, under the SNP, Scotland’s NHS is “dying before our very eyes.”

Today marks one year since Scotland led the way in electing a UK Labour Government. While there’s a lot more still to do, huge progress has been made 👇🏼

We now have an MP working in the interests of our islands in Westminster - next year we can make sure we have an MSP raising our voice in the Scottish Parliament too.

Good to be out speaking to voters in Parkend this evening with Rhoda Grant and shaun_fraser.

Almost all of what is broken in Scotland is run by the SNP. We need a new direction. dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/…

Glorious weather for the Point Agricultural Show today. ☀️ Particularly good to see such a large entry in the sheep classes. Big well done to all the organisers, competitors and volunteers on a very successful day!
