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.

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…

Michael Marra announces shadow cabinet as Labour becomes 'official opposition'

The new Scottish Labour leader accused other parties at Holyrood of "pursuing issues completely disconnected from people’s lives".

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.

Today we're setting out a British approach to AI: backing innovation and growth, managing risks responsibly, and making sure the benefits of AI-enabled growth are felt right across the country.

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.

We have fantastic opportunities in the @GlasgowCityRgn but we need power transferred from Holyrood to the region so that we seize them. I hope @scotgov accept the Prime Minister's offer to work together on this.

My statement on the deadline for bids for the E1 settlement tender ⬇️
STATEMENT ON E1 SETTLEMENT EXPANSION 19 October 2026 The decision by the Israeli Government to open tenders for settlements in E1 is a direct threat to the prospect of a two-state solution and has been widely condemned by the international community. Today is the deadline for bids for the E1 settlement tender. I want to be very clear with those considering engaging in the tendering process: we have created new powers allowing us to sanction individuals and companies involved in the construction of illegal settlements such as E1. We urge businesses and individuals not to proceed with bids for E1 construction tenders. They should be aware of legal and reputational consequences, including the risk of involving themselves in serious breaches of international law. FULL STATEMENT CONTINUES ON GOV.UK

The first duty of government is to keep our country safe. That’s why the UK Government has given the biggest sustained boost to defence spending since the Cold War and given our armed forces the biggest pay rise in over 20 years. 👇
