Wonderful to join #HeatherHall for her BEM award yesterday. No award is more deserved for the woman who took an idea and made it a reality ensuring young people with additional needs fufull their potential...2000 of them to date.

#DGLabour Cllrs visited our award winning #DandGCollege yesterday. Despite 17% funding cuts, it’s fantastic to see it's thriving and growing and recognised as a key part of the Scottish college sector

Superb to view the completed 3G pitch & progress on the new build at #DumfriesHighSchool yesterday. Brilliant to see the investment in our young people through the Dumfries Learning Town (DLT2) initiative in action.

As a Trustee,fantastic to visit #ScottishParliament yesterday to support #EllislandFarm & see the cross-party support for the SHALS project. Good to hear the debate & MSP's from our region lobbying @ScotGov for sustained support & funding for this amazing initiative.

In DandG delayed discharge figures sit at 2,751 bed days occupied. Pre pandemic figures were 1,515.This directly affects our most vulnerable older citizens stuck in hospital beds due to a lack of appropriate social care.They deserve better than platittudes from the SNP Govt.

JohnSwinney ironically blasts on about the dangers of populisim,but @anassarwar.bsky.social in an aspiring & pragmatic speech talks about the new direction for our country under @scottishlabour.bsky.social Govt in 2026.Great to be in Glasgow today, the hard work starts now.

Local Derby at #OfficialQosFC a must at this time of year. Unfortunately, a late penalty for #AnnanAthleticFC scuppered their early lead. Refreshingly great atmosphere nonetheless. Good chips too 😋

A great morning spent with #DandGYouthWork staff and other statutory and non statutory stakeholders at their #WorkingAtTheCoalface Conference. Fantastic to celebrate your successes and also to show my support for the valuable work frontline staff do everyday. Thanks for the invite😊
