Letter to the SNP Leadership Contenders
The Scottish Government’s proposal for a “National Care Service” is yet another exercise in outsourcing. It’s not too late to come forward with a genuinely not-for-profit care service. I’ve written to the three SNP leadership contenders to ask that they commit to pause the process.
Arran Surgery
I am looking forward to holding a surgery on the Isle of Arran at 11am on Friday 24th February. If you need help or advice with any issue or concern, please do drop-in.
Cornton Vale
I am deeply concerned about the seeming lack of contingency planning once Cornton Vale prison closes and have written to the Scottish Government to highlight this.
Fire Brigades Union Debate
Over 100 of Scotland’s fire stations lack adequate showering facilities to wash away the cancer causing toxins firefighters are exposed to. Some don’t have a water supply. As I set out in the debate below, the Scottish Government must urgently invest to upgrade facilities.
Irvine Surgery
I am looking forward to holding a surgery in Irvine at 10am on Saturday 14th January. If you need help or advice with any issue or concern, please do drop-in.
Brexit and Devolution Debate
I was proud to speak in this debate. The implementation of Brexit without a plan of what it would mean for devolution was shameful. The Scottish Government must now work to ensure workers’ rights, environmental protections and key standards are protected and built on post-Brexit.
Higher Education Members’ Debate
I was proud to lead a debate on my motion in support of striking higher education workers in the Scottish Parliament chamber. I argued that real terms pay cuts, casualised contracts and job insecurity for workers in the sector have to stop and the Scottish Government does have a role in supporting the sector.
Arran Surgery
I am looking forward to holding a surgery in Arran at noon on Monday 28 November. If you need help or advice with any issue or concern, please do drop-in.
Largs Surgery
I am looking forward to holding a surgery in Largs at 10am on Saturday 12 November. If you need help or advice with any issue or concern, please do drop-in.
