With her as Deputy Prime Minister in a Labour Government, working people will have a team that’s always on their side.

I will serve this constituency with everything I have and, as part of the new
@UKLabour
government, repay your trust by making your life—and the lives of your family—better.
Thank you.
Overwhelmed by the support for Labour this afternoon.
People are totally fed up with the way things are - one man told me SNP waiting times meant he was forced to spend thousands on urgent treatment!
With greater investment, Labour will save our NHS.
Delighted to welcome

Full speech here:
Glasgow North East is my home.
I’m proud to live here, but I know that our communities and people have been let down, forgotten and failed.
On 4 July, we can change that by electing a Labour government that will fight for working people each and every day.

It's time for change and only

Just 5 days to go until we get to turn the page on 14 years of Tory chaos.
Proud to stand outside Scottish Power HQ with colleagues calling for a price freeze on rising energy costs. These horrific hikes will plunge many people into debt whilst SSE boss is given a 47% bonus.
#FreezePricesNotPeople
The Tories and SNP are running scared of the electorate, but we can't wait.
Glasgow North East deserves real change.
That's what

It was great to chat with voters in Robroyston on Saturday. Really appreciate their encouragement!
Thanks to my fellow Labour councillors for joining me.

Delighted to have submitted my application to stand for the Westminster seats of North East and East Glasgow. Looking forward to speaking to Labour Members to be given the chance to serve the city I love.
We've been out in all weather this week with great conversations across Glasgow North East this week! From Barlanark to Springburn, residents across the constituency are clear we need change from two failing governments.

Just seeing reports of the terrible incident that has happened within the Blackhill area tonight. Councillor Sharon Greer and I are thinking of the families at this time. Thanks to the emergency services attending the scene.
Out In Gartloch over the weekend chatting to people on the doorstep. Many are concerned about the NHS and the future of their children's education and the lack of resources in their community.

Residents views must come first but sadly those concerns have been ignored by the SNP.
As your Labour MP, I'll always put the communities of Glasgow North East first! 🌹
Busy day delivering afternoon tea platters to the elderly tenants in isolation, courtesy of Milnbank Housing Association in partnership with Urban Fox. It was so uplifting to see the smiles on their faces and how much they appreciated it.

@mariecurieuk

@mentalhealth
amongst others.
The work of change has begun.
Delighted to see City Administration Committee agree over £85,000 today for Auchinlea Park.
This funding will help Provan Hall and the entire park get the much needed investment it needs.
I've fought hard for this funding over the years, so delighted it's been approved.
💼 I am in the process of setting up my office that will assist me in serving constituents across Glasgow North East.
🔗 I would encourage anyone interested to apply for the roles I have advertised here: .
After 10 years as chair of the Seven Lochs Partnership I have been removed by the SNP Green Coalition with no prior notice and replaced by a male colleague. Is this how you encourage women into politics?
Is this the same Blair Anderson who, only moments earlier, had voted to place two men in positions on outside bodies at the expense of two experienced women ..one of whom is a woman of colour..Now that's not just misogyny its also absolute hypocrisy too..
Great to have attended the launch of "an Easterhouse Children's Manifesto" today

I am deeply disappointed to have been removed as chair after ten years. I would like to thank all partners who I worked with over this time delivering many projects across the Partnership.
Thanks to
@CllrBurke
for all her work as chair of Seven Lochs Wetlands Park Partnership - putting her local community at the heart of all decision making over the past ten years. Her passion and commitment recognised at the local election.
Honoured to be re -elected as Assistant Business Manager this is my second term in this role and I am delighted to continue to serve my fellow colleagues going forward.
Tears in my eyes this morning waving my beautiful granddaughter off to her first day at school. A big thank you to all Head teachers, staff and all who helped behind the scenes to prepare for a safe return for our children.

@MilnbankHA
Gala day good to be out and about chatting to the local community and enjoying the sunshine.
Heartbreaking listening to the dreams of Scotland's young people being torn apart by the Scottish Government the SQA.
I was honoured to show my support today but not an SNP politician insight 🙄 our young people deserve better!
As a Group we refuse to cut Glasgow communities any further. These cuts will damage life chances, the environment and abandon our most vulnerable. I fulfilled my duty by not supporting the worst budget In the history of GCC.
@CllrBurke
Your duty was to set a budget for Glasgow, that is what you were elected to do. If you didnt like the one proposed by the adminstration then you shoudlve put forward an alternative. Tough decisions need to be made, you failed to make them
@Soryia
@Labour_GCC
This was raised with me on the doorstep. I know how important FE is, it was life changing for me, giving me opportunities to grow. I'm now a Cllr and have been selected as the candidate for Westminster. Stop the cuts to this sector!
Lots of Easter fun at
@ProvanHall
today the kids had a ball hunting for Easter eggs, crafting and basket weaving. It was great to speak to visitors from far and wide talking about how great the event was.Thanks to staff and volunteers for organising this.
I listened & stood up for my community today standing side by side with the unions against cuts to vital services that will decimate people's lives. My track record speaks for itself being re-elected for my third term - my constituents have put their trust in me again & again.
The amazing transformation that Connie and the team have made to Lams Cafe is remarkable.
I'm so proud to have worked with them on this great addition to our local community.
This is exactly what Glasgow North East needs!
A great campaign session in Garthamlock today made all the better with the lovely sunny weather. Also had a great reception with the management team and the volunteers at the GESH. Thanks to all the staff and volunteers for all you do to support our communities
