While the SNP are squabbling amongst themselves about independence, they are failing to address the problems in our NHS. This leaves too many people waiting in pain for treatment - as I told BBC #PoliticsLive

Israel is committing mass atrocity crimes in Gaza.
Palestinians civilians are now facing a choice between starving to death or being killed waiting for aid.
In Parliament I recently called for further concrete action, including the immediate recognition of the State of Palestine.

Today in Parliament I raised the ongoing military action in the Middle East; the need for action on the horrific situation in Gaza; and the protection of UK citizens and assets across the region, including the Gulf and Jordan.

Today in Parliament I spoke against the #AssistedDyingBill.
This is a deeply flawed Bill, and the truth is that in seeking to give choice to some, it risks causing new harm to a much larger, vulnerable group of our citizens.

I'm delighted that today the Chancellor prioritised Kirkcaldy for funding from the new £240 million Growth Mission Fund.
This crucial investment from our UK Labour Government will be the first step towards renewing and regenerating our town centre and seafront.

Last week SNP MPs shouted “where’s Davy” at us in the House of Commons.
Yesterday I was happy to share with the House that Labour’s Davy Russell MSP is taking his place in the Scottish Parliament.
We wish him all the very best as he swears in 🌹

The new UK-EU trade deal that our UK Labour government has negotiated is good for my constituents in Fife, good for Scotland & good for the UK.
No wonder the SNP have themselves in a right fankle over how to respond to it…

The government is right to have taken fresh action on Gaza, including suspending trade talks with Israel & imposing more sanctions.
In Parliament I spoke about Israel’s plans to replace aid workers with mercenaries and about red lines.
Gaza is out of time.

This week in Parliament I spoke about the tribunal of Fife nurse Sandie Peggie and women’s hard won sex-based rights.
