net immigration fell by more than half last year and the politics has gone in the complete opposite direction. It's not really about the numbers

Thank you, Billy.

Kindness will always win. Fiercely advocating for people will always win. Fiercely defending our hard won human and workers’ rights will always enrich people.

Send Farage and his bigoted politics packing - vote SNP this Thursday in Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse. Let kindness win.

Thank you.

Politics can be harsh. Mum didn’t like that, she showed her kindness but she was fierce in standing up for the voiceless, for human rights, for Scotlands cause to take our place among the nations of the world.

Mum always put kindness above everything. She was kind to everyone, she encouraged everyone who she came across and we all know those hugs. I’m missing that so much just now.

There will be no greater outcome for us as family to see Katy win this by-election for the SNP.

It is no secret that I believe the SNP candidate, Katy Loudon, is the best possible person to succeed mum. I don’t say that simply because I am an SNP member, I say because I’ve known Katy for sometime and she does truly have peoples interests at heart.

Nigel Farage and Reform are not your friends - they are your manipulators.

Farage and Reform prey on the misery of people failed time and time again by successive Westminster Governments.

Farage has brought about part of that misery with Scotland being pulled out of the EU against its will.

Mum would be the first to call it out as the anti-racist and anti-fascist she was - she did not tolerate intolerance, particularly intolerance being espoused by rich bankers from the elitist class like Nigel Farage who would strip away your workers’ rights and access to the NHS in a heartbeat.

Mum would be outraged at the racism that has been displayed by Reform UK in their horrendous advert targeting Anas Sarwar. Their nasty and bigoted politics have no place in Scotland.

I think how her kindness and affection for uplifting people, going above and beyond to support those most in need has been repaid in same kindness she bestowed upon everyone.

This by-election should not be happening, our mum should still be here with us.

Having been out a few times to help campaign for Katy Loudon, it’s been lovely to hear how much mum was loved and valued - and this is coming from constituents. That is unusual for a politician.

Mum didn’t live in HLS; she was born and lived in the east end of Glasgow her entire life. She experienced hardship growing up in Easterhouse - she gave her absolute all to represent the people of HLS; I truly believe she was loved by her constituents, even the ones from opposition parties.

To see hundreds of SNP members pull in from across Scotland to campaign in the constituency mum represented for 14 years has meant an awful lot.

To the Hamilton Massive, who have pulled together pouring every ounce of energy they can into winning this by-election for the SNP - thank you.
