Michael Marra MSP

Delighted to have been selected as @ScottishLabour’s candidate for Dundee City West. I will fight tooth and nail for this city that I love and all of her people.

The SNP has the power but no plans to fix the crisis in our NHS, the violence on our streets, or the housing emergency gripping Scotland.

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.

My first sacking. An inexplicable decision by Aberdeen group. A real gap now for funding of evidence based policy proposals to better the lives of low income families. Terrible that this strong legacy of Alistair Darling has been destroyed. thetimes.com/article/7d695e…

Catholic education in the east of Dundee is on the brink. Closure would prevent families from accessing their right to the schooling they want. Jenny Gilruth must step in where her SNP colleagues at Dundee Council have failed and overturn this decision. thecourier.co.uk/fp/politics/52…

After 18 years in charge, the SNP have effectively privatised Scotland’s NHS – it is no longer free and available at the point of need for Scots.

Under the SNP, Scotland’s NHS is stuck in the past - relying on pagers and fax machines. Analogue John doesn’t have the answers. It’s time for a new direction.

The Tories crashed the economy. My Labour government is fixing it.

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

With Labour, NHS waiting lists are falling and we have an ambitious plan for the NHS’ future. In John Swinney, the SNP have an analogue politician in a digital age, and Scotland’s patients are missing out. Scotland needs a new direction with @AnasSarwar. thetimes.com/article/83e455…

The next election will be a straight choice between a new direction with a Scottish Labour government led by me or a third decade of decline with John Swinney and the SNP.

Scotland’s NHS will not survive a third decade of John Swinney and the SNP.

“Put bluntly, I don’t believe the NHS will survive a third decade of John Swinney and the SNP” Scottish Labour’s Anas Sarwar says the waiting times for NHS Scotland patients are “completely unacceptable” and there is a “need for change” #bbcqt

At the heart of this scandal at Dundee University is sheer incompetence. £40m of ringfenced money blown, and the Principal's excuse? He hadn't read his reports.

I have written to Councillor Mark Flynn and Greg Colgan over Dundee City Council's position of not releasing financial information relating to a FOI regarding Caird Park Golf Club. I hope that the council will reconsider their position given the obvious public interest.

Scotland's public finances are in chaos after years of SNP mismanagement. dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/…

Today the SNP admitted that there is a £2.6 billion black hole in Scotland's budget. But it gets worse. The IFS say that deficit could be as much as £3.5 billion. An astonishing revelation which lays bare the scale of SNP waste and incompetence.

The SNP have grossly mismanaged Scotland's budget. They are out of ideas, they are out of excuses, and they are out of time. Scotland needs a new direction.

SNP Minister admits SNP failure is costing lives.
