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.

This May, it’s a choice between more SNP decline or a fresh start with Scottish Labour.
