Challenging the UK Government about the lack of any UK funding for Perth and Kinross. We are the only local authority in Scotland never to secure any UK programme support. I asked what the UK Government has against the people of Perth? I got gibberish in response.

At PMQs today as they introduce their callous £5 billion Benefit Cuts Bill. This will impact some 1.3 million people and push 250 000 more people into poverty. This is a Labour Government. Yes, a LABOUR Government.

I raised that appalling, racist advert that Reform have been trailing at the Hamilton by election in the Commons. We may disagree with Anas but he is a proud Scot who seeks to stand up for his country. That video is not the Scotland we know and are proud of.

An excerpt from yesterday's debate on Asylum and Borders. The way the most wretched people in the world are now portrayed and demonised should shame us all and I thank all the agencies and charities who support and advocate for the world's most desperate. We must do better.
