It was absolutely brilliant to see the CAMRA Alloa Beer Festival so busy at the Town Hall!
A huge well done to all the volunteers and festival goers that made it such a great event!

Good to be back in the Parliamentary Labour Party. People can rest assured that I will continue to represent my constituents' interests & to improve living standards.
This Labour government must change course & govern by real Labour Party values. That's what I'll fight for.

It is a stain on this country that there are still people living in flammable cladded buildings like Grenfell.
And as well as the victims & families, the firefighters of @fbunational.bsky.social that now suffer from diseases because of their heroic efforts at Grenfell, deserve answers too.

Tony Benn and Mick McGahey were giants of the labour and Anti-Nuclear weapons movements.
They knew that building weapons of mass destruction is immoral, dangerous and no way to improve the lives of ordinary people.
We don't need more bombs or killing @scottishcnd.bsky.social

It's simple. The Budget has to tax the multimillionaires and billionaires and invest in the public services we need.

Great to visit Alloa family business Central Rebar to speak with Kenny Jackson & his daughter Claire about different issues, challenges & opportunities.
I'll write to ministers raising concerns around steel imports & make sure local businesses, such as Central Rebar, have a voice in Parliament.

It was an honour to speak at @scottishcnd.bsky.social yesterday and talk about how increasing military spending is not the answer to the social problems created by austerity.
Instead, let's invest in people, communities and the public services that will actually improve living standards.

Great to see such a huge turnout at last nights public meeting on the future of Alloa Campus college.
Our colleges need fair funding from the Scottish Government.
I have signed the pledge and will continue to fight for the future of further education in Clackmannanshire.

Breast cancer touches lives in every community.

Last weekend I marched with Keep Grangemouth Working and @unitetheunion.bsky.social as Scotland Demands Better.
Workers need jobs, communities need investment. The £200 million promise from the PM is 8 months old and not a penny has been spent yet.
Get a move on Prime Minister.

In today’s @dailyrecord.co.uk.web.brid.gy
The SNP have destroyed Scotland’s Colleges…created a skills shortage…admitted they’ve overseen a housing crisis…allowed industry to leave our towns…marked down the poorest kids school grades…
They don’t want to talk about all that.

Any nationalist using somewhere else's poverty & hardship as justification for this abject SNP government show themselves up as not being the socialists they want everyone to think they are.

It was a pleasure to mention the fantastic Forefront Stage School and Dylan Wood in Parliament today!
Dylan’s journey from the Wee County to the London West End is an inspiration to all young people from Alloa & Grangemouth that dream of making it big in the creative arts!

Scottish Devolution debate in Parliament this week and the nationalists don’t like to hear it but the truth is the SNP government have taken power off Councils and stopped local communities having a say in how to improve their neighbourhoods and facilities.
That’s Thatcherism in action.

It's an honour being the MP for ex mining communities and it was great to bump into some constituents at the Durham Miners Gala in the summer.

Unlike the SNP, I have always been against mandatory digital ID.
The SNP want you to forget that they spent £7 million on a digital passport that breached data privacy laws by giving your data away.
The SNP hypocrisy on digital ID is staggering, but not surprising.

Sending my support to the Turners Q8 workforce involved in their pay dispute.
The cost of living crisis is raging on and to be offered a measly 1% increase when Turners made £53 million last year is an insult to the workers.
