Great to take this motion on women’s representation and safety in politics through Women’s and Annual Conference with LLRG - and to have JCWIL graduates @FrancescaLabour and @mahil_kiran move and second it.
Proud to work with Kiran Mahil and @LabourWomensNet in my role as Vice Chair of Labour in Local and Regional Government - we used our #Lab26 time to talk about safety for women in politics and representation. More work to do but glad to get unanimous support from conference!

Today, the Scottish Parliament backed Scottish Labour’s motion to recommit to legal targets on child poverty.
Now, all parties should get round the table and agree the practical measures needed to meet those targets and lift children out of poverty.

Last night I said Au Revoir (but not Goodbye!) to The Anchor after two years as a trustee on the board of a charity close to my heart. It’s been an honour to play my small part in supporting Chris, Kay and the many other fabulous individuals involved in the work of the charity.

When Offord stood for election in Inverclyde,he couldn’t be bothered to turn up for the only local hustings held in our area (piped.video/watch?v=VFDGJv…) and was rarely spotted in the constituency. He wants to use Inverclyde to stir up trouble but people can see right through him.

Malcolm’s previous party was in Government for 14 years and he had no problem supporting policies that saw poverty increase across Inverclyde.
Labour - both in the Council and in UK - are fixing his mess.
No wonder Reform came a distant third in Inverclyde in May.
The Labour leader of Inverclyde Council thinks the answer to deprivation is more immigration.
I think we need to encourage enterprise and create job opportunities for the people who already live here. My plan:

I met Dolly Parton through her @dollyslibrary work. It was an amazing experience with an amazing woman of huge talent matched only by her generosity. Sad news today but a wonderful legacy left behind.
