“I can’t be a spokesperson because of my self-admitted poor judgement but I can still be an MSP and a candidate in May” is a tough sell

😳 Despite Labour costing Glasgow £40million this year, we are still investing on the priorities people told us matter to them.

🔥 Susan Aitken has written to Anas Sarwar about the 2 Glasgow Labour Councillors facing serious criminal charges. The Labour Party are unwilling to answer questions on whether these Councillors are suspended - and if they aren’t, why?

Christina was an exceptional parliamentarian and Minister, a tireless champion for Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse, and a dear friend to all of us. Many of us gathered in Hamilton today to appreciate her work. We’ll miss her more than words can say. 💛

✂️As the UK Government announces yet more cuts, one Glasgow Labour MP says he’s “proud” of the cuts to disability benefits that’ll hit those most in need the hardest.

The SNP has just won two council seats from Labour in Glasgow. This week, Labour cut support for the most vulnerable - and boasted they were "doing things the Tories only ever talked about". The people of Glasgow have had their say.

This Thursday 20th March is Polling Day in the North East by-election. 🥀 Labour’s incompetence has left this community without a voice & wasted public money. Voters have the chance on Thursday to elect a local community-based champion in Donna McGill, your SNP candidate🗳️

🥀 Labour’s record in Government so far would shame the Tories. ❌ Winter Fuel Payment - scrapped ❌ WASPI women - abandoned ❌ Household bills - skyrocketed And all fully supported by Glasgow’s Labour MPs who refuse to stand up for their constituents. www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/2500010...

Following last week’s debate in Westminster on compensation for WASPI women, I have written to Maureen Burke MP asking why she chose not to vote to compensate these women, despite publicly supporting the WASPI campaign in March 2024.

Christina Cannon @christinacannon.bsky.social · 28/01/2025
This was just 4 months before her election. The same election where she promised constituents to vote for compensation for the WASPI women, despite what her party’s position might be. Completely indefensible.

⏮️ In March 2024, Maureen Burke MP said it was the UK Government’s responsibility to pay WASPI women what they are owed. Today, when she had the chance to deliver justice, she didn’t bother to turn up. Shameful betrayal of her constituents in Glasgow🥀

Still no word from Scottish Labour, Glasgow Labour or Anas Sarwar on this shambles. Their incompetence has cost the taxpayer £80k - money that could be better spent on services. An apology is a must, but they should also be footing the bill. t.co/ReDtYOIlM7

Once again the SNP Scottish Government are having to mitigate so our people don’t have to bare the brunt of Westminster’s austerity policies. ❄️ Every pensioner in Scotland will now receive a winter fuel payment. But Labour still need to reverse this decision across the whole of the UK.
