A year ago, @michaelshanksmp.co.uk was elected in Rutherglen as Scots voted for a Labour government.
Michael and his team are fighting relentlessly for our communities.
Next year, Scots can reject almost two decades of SNP failure at Holyrood and choose a new direction with Scottish Labour.

Biggest budget for the Scottish Government since devolution.
Instead of SNP distraction we need a government with plans to invest that in improving the lives of the people of Scotland.

The SNP are the architects of austerity in Scotland.
For years, they have inflicted swingeing cuts on council budgets like South Lanarkshire’s and people are paying the price.

Great to be out in sunny Drumsagard speaking to people about their priorities.
Despite the efforts of hardworking staff, our NHS is in crisis after 18 years of the SNP.
A Scottish Labour government will reform the NHS, properly resourcing frontline services and cutting waiting lists.

Three in four Scots think our public services are worse now than they were five years ago - that’s down to SNP mismanagement and incompetence.
It’s time to chart a different course with Scottish Labour at the helm.🌹

Constituents get in touch with me every day about the problems they have getting the health care they need. I've supported as many as I can, but too many are suffering, stuck on waiting lists - or struggling to be seen in the first place. It shouldn't be this way.
