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.

Thanks to everyone in Greenock and Port Glasgow who took the time to speak with us this morning about their priorities for Inverclyde and how @ScottishLabour reps can help.

2 years, 4 months and 23 days ago this parliament voted to declare a housing emergency.
Scottish Parliament has the power to half homelessness, so what are we waiting for?
It was great to get the chance to speak to new Scottish Labour leader @michaeljmarra on behalf of @ScottishFabians at conference in Liverpool last week - have a look:

“They’re not dividing lines, they’re gathering points.” @michaeljmarra spoke on Sunday at Liverpool’s Bluecoat about his desire to do politics differently as well as what he wants @ScottishLabour to achieve together with the people of Scotland. #Lab26

Politicians need to get round the table and agree measures that will meet our statutory targets on child poverty.
We want to work across party lines to cut child poverty in half in 3 years. Let’s make it happen.
So good to be speaking to people in Port Glasgow this morning. Talking about @michaeljmarra , Andy Burnham, Hope and smooth,new paths!

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!

Great to hear from @michaeljmarra in Liverpool - a fantastic speech in the conference hall and a brilliant start to his leadership. I’m excited to get out campaigning this weekend!
Back in Scotland after a brilliant conference and ready to get out campaigning!

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.
