Proud to support my Scottish Labour colleague Monica Lennon MSP’s proposed Ecocide bill.
Monica's bill will make mass destruction of the environment a serious offence, protecting our nature and climate from eco-criminals.

I'm glad to have joined discussions on how to best implement the Scottish National Optimal Lung Cancer Pathway.
It's inspiring to hear such stories of survival from patients and dedication from doctors in pushing for care and access to lung cancer services.

Funding choices significantly impact Scotland's arts and culture landscape.
The allocation of funds for Scotland's creative sector is unstable and in dire need of backing despite promises of increased funding for culture.

Practical experience in education is essential.
Today I asked the Scottish Government how it is working to ensure that pupils have access to practical experience in science curriculums. 📚
We need to address the shortage of science technicians. 👩🔬
