Good luck to all students across Glasgow South West as you receive your SQA results today! 🥳

No matter the outcome, you've worked hard through challenging times. You should be proud of what you've achieved, and my office is here to help at the next stage of your journey should you need it.

The country is deeply shocked and utterly disgusted by the horrific scenes of mass killings and starvation in Gaza over the weekend.

I’m working closely with Dr. Mohammed Mustafa to help deliver a mobile maternity hospital into Gaza, to provide urgent care for women and children in desperate need.

Credit Unions should be able to serve the communities in which they operate, with particular attention to those on low to moderate incomes.

In England, dormant assets held by the Bank of England can be used as capital to support the growth of credit unions, but this is not available Scotland.

Thanks to Sir Edward Leigh for screening #GazaDoctorsUnderAttack in Parliament.

This gave MPs a critical opportunity to hear directly from doctors, and the film’s director and producer about the horrendous attacks medics face in Gaza.

It’s essential that these voices are heard on our TV screens.

This Armed Forces Week, we honour the brave men and women who serve our country with unwavering dedication.

Our Labour government has delivered the biggest pay rise in two decades, and now we’re launching Homes Fit for Heroes, to ensure military housing meets the standards our forces deserve.

It was an honour to attend the official opening of the Janet Harvey Hall right here on the banks of the Clyde.

This marks a truly historic milestone for Govan, as shipbuilding will now take place inside for the first time in 160 years - a transformative step for the industry and the community.

We are the final hour of interrogating this bill in the House of Commons. The bill in my view remains unfit for purpose. I will be voting against it.

240,000 families in Scotland will now receive £150 off their energy bills which is hugely welcome news across Glasgow.

Scottish Ministers at the heart of a UK Labour government made this happen. We're bringing down bills for good and delivering real financial support for families who need it most.

After six months of determined advocacy, I’m delighted that the proposed rent increases for Water Row residents have been scrapped.

Supporting my constituents and working closely with my colleague, Paul Sweeney MSP, we’ve proven what we can achieve when we come together and speak out.

Spending review update 👇

Our Labour has ended austerity in Scotland, with historically large settlements for the Scottish Government over the next three years. Over the next three years, we will provide an extra £9.1 billion for Scottish public services.

Our Labour government is escalating actions against extremists elements of the Israeli government by sanctioning two Israeli Ministers, Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, who have incited violence and abuses of Palestinian human rights.

While Labour sees the defence of our country is our most solemn duty, the SNP is risking our national security through choking our defence industry from funding.

Our Labour government will act in the national interest and step in to secure this funding.

We are moving to war-fighting readiness, says Starmer as he unveils defence spending plans But the prime minister declines to give a precise date on when defence spending will hit 3% of GDP.

It was a privilege to welcome the Prime Minister, Defence Secretary, and others at BAE Systems in my constituency of Glasgow South West.

This investment will boost growth whilst delivering 9,000 jobs on the Clydeside and across the country, playing a crucial role in Labour’s plan for change.

A pleasure to visit STV Studios in Glasgow South West today and meet with broadcasting icon John MacKay and Scotland’s leading meteorologist Seán Batty.

Grateful to the team for the warm welcome and the opportunity to learn more about their work behind the scenes.

I’m delighted to hear today that there have been one million pedestrian and cyclist crossings across the Govan – Patrick bridge since it was opened.

The bridge, funded in part with £12.685million provided by the UK Government, re-established the important connection between Govan and Patrick.

From youth engagement to health and wellbeing initiatives, they are making a real difference across my constituency and beyond 🤝

I was upset to learn of the incident at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital this morning and the distress it caused to my colleagues and constituents.

My sincere thanks go to the local staff and emergency responders for their swift and professional response.

Grassroots action in motion. 💪

It was a fantastic to visit Crookston Community Group to highlight the work being done on the ground — led by the community, for the community.

From tackling food and fuel poverty to reducing isolation, I am proud to support the organisation in all that they do.

Our UK Labour government is delivering new trade deals that will boost economic growth across Glasgow South West and Scotland—creating opportunities and prosperity for all.

With strong backing from businesses, our UK-EU trade deal is lowering prices and easing the cost of living for working people.
