West Dunbartonshire SNP in disarray! Council deputy leader resigns to join Alba. Majority on council lost!

An extraordinary result in Clydebank Central by election! This was the safest SNP ward in West Dunbartonshire and one of their safest in Scotland. A 12% swing from SNP to Labour. The win shows Scots are desperate for change after 14 years Tory chaos and 17 years of SNP failure.
Breaking news from West Dunbartonshire Council this evening! Scottish Government will fund only 15% of the Council Tax freeze. West Dunbartonshire Council will require to fund the remaining 85%
It is the honour of my life to have been elected to serve West Dunbartonshire as our Member of Parliament.
My thanks to people of West Dunbartonshire for the trust they placed in me. I will now get on with job of delivering change and serving my constituents.
It was great to have Anas join us in West Dunbartonshire this weekend as we campaigned to deliver the change we so desperately need.
I will be West Dunbartonshire’s voice in the heart of a Labour government.
If you don't want the SNP win, then vote for me with your postal vote or on 6th May.
