Out in Kelloholm today. A community left behind after 19yrs of the SNP failing local GP & Dental services. In a village with an ageing population and marked health inequalities this is a disgrace. Vote @ScottishLabour in May for a plan to fix the NHS that actually works πŸ’ͺ🌹 – at Dumfries, Scotland

Ballots close 19 February I'm asking for your #1 vote in the South Scotland regional list selection for Scottish Labour members. Politics needs not only experience but the willingness to adapt to a changing world and translate that into real energy in Holyrood. – at Dumfries, Scotland

A warm welcome today in Eastriggs, a villlage famous for contributing to the economy of Dumfriesshire & Scotland. But after 19 yrs of the SNP it's been hollowed out; no local police, no GP & fewer amenities. Eastriggs needs #ANewDirection #VoteScotLab26 🌹 – at Dumfries, Scotland

The biggest complaint across Dumfriesshire is potholes. Β£130m taken from D&G Council by the SNP since 2011 and a demand for Β£35m more in cuts.The SNP will tax you more whilst starving our communities of funds, that's why our roads don't get repaired. #LetsRebuildDumfriesshire🌹 – at Dumfries, Scotland

Out with @DryburghArchie today in Victory Ave & Annan Rd in Gretna. Positive responses, but also concerns raised about the declining NHS and a shocking but not unusual 6hr wait for an 'emergency' ambulance. Gretna deserves better than 5 more yrs of the SNP #VoteScotLab2026🌹 – at Gretna, Scotland

Yet another shameful waste of the public pound by the SNP. We need investment in our trunk roads not least in the only Euroroutes not duelled i.e. A75/77 #InvestInDandG 🌹 SNP axe plans to cut speed limit to 50mph after backlash | The Herald share.google/Vv0LMFgKScalpLn… – at Dumfries, Scotland

CRISIS and EMERGENCY are 2 descriptors I don't want to be using next year. So as a Local Cllr what do I want for Christmas ....a multiyear budget for D&G Council from the SNP, that more than makes up for the Β£329m taken from us by them since 2013. #WheresTheMoneyGoneJohn – at Dumfries, Scotland

D&G Council declared a housing emergency in June 2024 admitting systemic failure over temporary accomodation, breaching legislation over 300 x btwn 2023 & 2024. The SNP responded by cutting the housing budget. Only @ScottishLabour can get Scotland building again. #LabourYIMBY – at Dumfries, Scotland

A @UKLabour budget that works for Scotland and Dumfriesshire. Providing an increase in the National Minimum and National Living Wage in a region that has the lowest mean wage in Scotland. Helping people to help themselves and making work pay. #ANewDirection 🌹 – at Dumfries, Scotland

Labour Clllrs have called for a Special Full Council Meeting to air concerns raised by citizens across D&G on reductions to bus services. While the SNP Administration may spin this as "business as usual", Labour will focus on reversing this managed decline🌹 #saveourbuses 🚌
