1/ The safety of children in Glasgow must be the priority. A recent official report identifies serious failures by Glasgow City Council and others. There must be independent scrutiny of this. I have written to the Scottish Government to call for a Public Inquiry.

GOOD NEWS FOR FAMILIES IN GLASGOW EAST. We’re introducing paid paternity leave for self-employed parents for the first time in British history. This is good news for families here in Glasgow East, giving self-employed parents access to two weeks of statutory paternity pay.

Yesterday, on the one year anniversary of the fall of El Fasher I heard Minister @kirstyjmcneill and @AnnelieseDodds speak movingly about the horrific violence witnessed in Sudan. We also held a minute of silence to remember those who have lost their lives in the conflict.

I was very pleased to visit Hillview Islamic and Education Centre last Friday and meet with many who attend the Mosque. There is great beauty in the diversity of Glasgow East and the Muslim community is a treasured part of our city. Thank you again to Hillview for inviting me.

The McCrimmon family have campaigned against knife crime with great courage after the death of their beloved son, Kory. They and I support @VSScotland's call for @scotgov to review why young people become involved in knife crime. My question today to the Home Secretary 👇

Great to catch up last week with the team at Garrowhill Bowing Club along with @Lalley4Labour. Bailie Lalley is our fantastic @scottishlabour Councillor for Baillieston, who puts in a real shift as the local elected member.

The world cannot ignore what is happening in Sudan. One year on from the mass atrocities in El Fasher, the UK is sanctioning those linked to these and other atrocities, and strengthening support for survivors and communities at risk of famine.

Our shadow cabinet will be focused on the big issues facing Scotland. We will hold the SNP to account on their record and work to get the best deal for Scotland, and use our influence where we can to deliver results for people. dailyrecord.co.uk/news/polit…

One of my favourite places in Glasgow East is Tollcross Park, even on a wet day! I’m really pleased that Glasgow City Council have committed to installing new toilet facilities so that the glasshouse can re-open. Thanks to the team at Glasgow City Council for their work on this.

1/7 I have two simple tests for British AI, driven by our values. Is it safe? And is it ours to shape? 🇬🇧 Today, Chancellor @JohnHealey_MP is announcing a major, ambitious package of investment to strengthen Britain's defences against emerging threats, back British innovation, and build our technological independence.

Great to be out in Bridgeton and Dalmarnock this morning listening to residents. People have asked what is happening to the Legacy Hub. @RedmondLabour and I continue to press the council for progress so that local people benefit from it.

British firms are fed up with pointless paperwork and form-filling. Today we are cutting unnecessary bureaucracy, reducing costs and giving businesses the breathing space they need to invest, innovate and create good jobs.

I was very pleased to join with colleagues last night at the 2026 Scottish Poppy Appeal Reception at Dover House. Thanks to those who spoke so bravely about the personal sacrifices forces families and members of the armed forces make.
