Strong support for our fantastic candidate, @monicalennon.bsky.social, in Cambuslang this morning. Only Scottish Labour can beat the SNP here. It’s time for a Scottish Government that focusses on the issues that matter to people, getting the basics right and renewing our public services.

Lovely sunny sessions in Cambuslang today and a warm response on the doors for our candidate, @monicalennon.bsky.social. 🌞 After two wasted decades, Rutherglen & Cambuslang needs a fresh start - Scottish Labour is best placed to beat the SNP and deliver the change our communities need.🌹

Four seasons in a few hours in Blantyre today but that won’t stop Scottish Labour from listening to people discussing their priorities. Our candidate, @monicalennon.bsky.social, is from here and understands the issues that matter to the community. Vote for a new direction on May 7th.🌹🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

A Scottish Labour government will improve access to cancer screening and faster diagnosis, as part of our plan to finally deliver Scotland’s lifesaving 62-day waiting times standard, which has not been met since 2012. It’s time for change.

Brilliant reception in Blantyre! From her world-leading Period Poverty Act to her landmark Ecocide Bill, @monicalennon.bsky.social has a track record of delivery. Rutherglen & Cambuslang needs an MSP who gets things done and that’s Monica. Only Scottish Labour can beat the SNP here. 🌹

Scotland’s NHS needs saving after 20 years of the SNP. A Scottish Labour government led by Anas Sarwar will: ⏰End the 8am GP appointment rush. 👩‍⚕️Bring back the family doctor. 💥Smash bureaucracy and invest in front line services. 🧠Establish a new mental health emergency service.

Lots of support for our brilliant candidate, @monicalennon.bsky.social, in Rutherglen this morning. After almost 20 years of SNP failure, people here are ready for a fresh start - only Scottish Labour can beat them. It’s time to choose delivery over division and decline. 🌹🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️

Labour is lifting half a million children out of poverty across the UK, including 95,000 in Scotland. Meanwhile, Nigel Farage is happy to keep kids in poverty to take 5p off of a pint. Child poverty is a scourge on our society and this Labour government is confronting it.

Tonight along with my Labour colleagues we voted to scrap the two child limit - a decision that will lift 95,000 Scottish children out of poverty. The Tories and Reform voted against that. Labour is tackling child poverty and giving every child the best possible start in life.

Busy speaking to local residents in Burnside today where it’s a huge privilege to be the Scottish Labour candidate for Rutherglen, Cambuslang and Blantyre. The constituency is in the Glasgow parliamentary region. If you’re a member please consider giving me your 1st preference vote in the ballot.

Great response in Burnside this morning. Only Scottish Labour can beat the SNP in Rutherglen & Cambuslang and people here know that. It’s time to turn the page on two decades of SNP incompetence and elect a government that focusses on the people’s priorities.

Real frustration at declining educational standards and having to wait years for NHS treatment in today’s Cambuslang session. After two decades of SNP failure, there’s an appetite for change - many here know that Scottish Labour is best placed to beat them and deliver that.

Unsurprisingly, after inviting Scots to judge them on it, the SNP is not prioritising education. With a stubborn attainment gap, lack of ASN support, behaviour crisis in our schools and broken promises on teacher recruitment, the SNP is failing Scotland’s next generation.

This May, it’s a choice between more SNP decline or a fresh start with Scottish Labour. Our candidate, @monicalennon.bsky.social, grew up in Blantyre and knows what matters to our communities. With a track record of delivery, Monica will be a strong voice for Rutherglen & Cambuslang.

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.

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. 🌹

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.🌹

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.

Tonight, Labour MPs voted for the biggest boost to workers’ rights in a generation, including: ✅ Banning exploitative zero hour contracts. ✅ Ending fire and rehire. ✅ Strengthening sick pay. ✅ Rights from day one. The Tories and Reform - including ‘man of the people’ Nigel Farage - voted against.
