We are grateful to @ScottishLabour MSPs for adding their names in support of our statement on recognition. Alongside yesterday’s statement from @AnasSarwar, it sends a clear message that all Scottish Labour MSPs support recognition of the State of Palestine.

We are receiving desperate messages of starvation from #Gaza, including from our colleagues. Food prices have increased 40 fold. Meanwhile, just outside Gaza, stockpiled in warehouses UNRWA has enough food for the entire population for over three months. The suffering in Gaza…

I will be holding a drop-in advice surgery at Largs Library on Saturday 28 June 10.30am-11.30am Please come along if you have any issues that I can assist with or email me [email protected] make an appointment.

I asked First Minster John Swinney at #FMQs today if he would consider the compulsory purchase of Ardrossan Harbour as a way of progressing the 7 year delay to the upgrading work to reinstate Ardrossan as the main port for the Arran Ferry.

Great to join campaigners who travelled to Holyrood today to demand action from the Scottish Government, Along with @ScottishLabour colleagues I will continue to call on the government to prioritise the reinstatement of Ardrossan Harbour.

Looking forward to @CMochan's event 'Public Ownership and the Just Transition', Wed 18 June 6pm Scottish Parliament with @LabourCfS @MccailColl @IRMercer, @MEslamdoust & Naroa Hammerson of @GNDRising. Email [email protected] to attend.

This week, my amendments to the Care Reform (Scotland) Bill requiring ministers to publish regular reports on the state of the social care sector were agreed to by Parliament. Hopeful that this will lead to more effective market monitoring and transparency.

Thank you to all the MSPs who voted for my amendments to the Care Reform (Scotland) Bill to extend FOI to the outsourced care sector. Disappointing that the Tories and Scottish Government blocked the proposal

To what lengths will the Scottish government go to protect the secrets of private care providers? Dr Craig Dalzell asks after they voted down @KatySClark’s amendment to the Care Reform (Scotland) Bill.

Raised by @KatySClark at FMQs who asked FM if pay should be raised to minimum of £15 an hour. FM said this was a matter for trade unions and employers, urging them to find something "fair for the workforce and affordable for Enable" @heraldscotland Story: heraldscotland.com/news/25234018.…

Great to join @unisonscot Enable members on strike for a fair pay deal outside the Scottish Parliament today, and then to raise their case with John Swinney at #FMQs

Thanks to @KatySClark MSP for welcoming @RMTunion women members to @ScotParl today #WomenOrganising #Solidarity

A massive congratulations to our newest MSP, Davy Russell! The road to a new direction for Scotland in 2026 with Anas Sarwar as First Minister begins here.

Solidarity with Scottish Water workers on strike. After awarding excessive executive bonuses, Scottish Water reduced the offer already rejected by the workforce. The Scottish Government must intervene to ensure there is a fair pay offer @UniteScotland @GMBScotOrg @unisonscot

Our campaigners are the absolute best. Thank you to everyone who has worked so hard to support @DavyRussell4HLS. And an even bigger thanks to everyone who has voted for Davy and @ScottishLabour 🌹🗳️

I am delighted that my Members Bill to reform Freedom of Information has been introduced in the Scottish Parliament. I look forward to debating why freedom of information law needs reformed and FOI extended to outsourced public services.
