Rutherglen Constituency Labour Party. Change has already begun. 🌹

https://linktr.ee/rutherglenclp
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.

🚨A fantastic #LabourGain.

Hamilton, Larkhall & Stonehouse has chosen a new direction with Scottish Labour.

People have given their backing to a local man who cares about the community he lives in - Davy Russell will be an excellent representative for his area.

Onwards to 2026. 🌹💪

In Hamilton, Larkhall & Stonehouse, a vote for Davy Russell is a vote for someone who will put their community first.

On 5th June, vote Scottish Labour and elect a local champion who is on the side of the people.🌹💪

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.

In Hamilton, Larkhall & Stonehouse, Scottish Labour’s Davy Russell is the local champion his community needs. 🌹

In Davy Russell, members have nominated someone who will stand up for their constituents at every turn.

If you live in Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse, vote for Scottish Labour on 5th June to bring about the change your community needs.

The SNP: specialists in rewarding failure.

NHS patients and staff deserve better.
April 15, 2025 at 3:12 PM
After almost two decades of SNP mismanagement, our public services are weaker and Scots are being forced to pay the price.

Scotland needs a new direction - a Scottish Labour government, led by Anas Sarwar as First Minister, will deliver the change people need.

This Labour government is taking action to protect our industrial future.

We send our very best wishes to all those who are celebrating Pesach.

Passover is one of the most significant Jewish festivals, rich in symbolism as the remarkable story of the Exodus - the liberation of the Hebrew people - is remembered.

Chag Pesach Sameach. ✡️

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.

A glorious day for sharing our positive vision in the Costa Del Cambuslang.🌞

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.🌹

A beautiful morning in Halfway, speaking to people about the issues that matter to them. Lots of really positive conversations.🌞

Scotland’s public services have been poorly served by almost two decades of SNP incompetence - it’s time for a new direction with Scottish Labour. 🌹

Productive campaign session in Cambuslang today.

After eighteen years of SNP misgovernment, Scotland needs a new direction - a Scottish Labour government will deliver it. 🌹

Brilliant response in sunny Oatlands today, where some of our CLP joined the team campaigning ahead of the Southside Central by-election.

If you live here, on 20th March, vote for Scottish Labour’s Samina Rashid! 🌹

Pam Duncan-Glancy speaking at the @eisunion.bsky.social Education Matters fringe this afternoon.

Scottish teachers are overworked, the attainment gap is wide and ASN support is lacking.

The need to stand up for quality education cannot be overstated. Pupils and staff need change. #ScotLab25

“No more tinkering around the edges, no more passing the buck, no more sticking plasters. Big, bold, meaningful change.”

Excellent speech from your Scottish Labour candidate for First Minister, Anas Sarwar, at #ScotLab25

The number of Scots waiting more than 12 hours in A&E has increased by almost 100 times in 13 years.

The SNP has been in power for almost 18 years. What unmitigated failure.

Scotland’s patients and hardworking NHS staff deserve so much better.
February 15, 2025 at 3:59 PM
Fantastic news! A brilliant Scottish Labour win!

@aidanmarshall.bsky.social is a friend to our CLP and one of the most decent people in politics.

The people of Kirkintilloch East & North & Twechar have elected the dedicated, local champion they deserve!🌹💪

Talking to the good people of Spittal about the issues that matter to them this morning, with local councillor @cllrcowie.bsky.social.

After almost two decades of SNP failure, Scotland needs a new direction - Scottish Labour will deliver it. 🌹💪

📣 Tomorrow, our brilliant MP, @michaelshanksmp.co.uk, will be on the Question Time panel in Glasgow.

Rutherglen CLP on tour today, campaigning for the excellent @aidanmarshall.bsky.social in Kirkintilloch.

Lots of support for Aidan on the doors, who’ll be the strong local champion Kirkintilloch East and North and Twechar needs.

❌ One in three pupils routinely absent.
❌ Poorer performance in the international league tables.
❌ Teacher numbers down by almost 2000 since 2007.
❌ A stubbornly wide attainment gap.
❌ Pupils with ASN not getting enough support.

Young people across Scotland deserve better than more SNP failure.
January 22, 2025 at 10:44 PM
❌ Almost one in six Scots on waiting lists.
❌ Over 30,000 Scots forced to pay for private treatment.
❌ Cancer targets not met for over a decade.

After almost 18 years, Scotland’s NHS needs saving from the SNP.

It’s time for a new direction with Scottish Labour.🌹

Brilliant campaign session in Blantyre this morning.

After almost 18 years of SNP failure, Scotland needs a new direction with Scottish Labour. 🌹🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

It’s time to turn the page on years of SNP incompetence.

A different future and a new direction for Scotland is possible with Scottish Labour. 🌹
