Setting up the Gordon Aikman Leadership Programme was one of my proudest achievements as GS - and the number of candidates delivered through it is testament to its success. Glad to hear there has been a commitment to keep it going.

Momentum is everything when it comes to elections and polls. It is clear that @scottishlabour and @AnasSarwar has it. With a week to go, I predict that Anas can pull out a massive result and push the Tories into 3rd place vote share. Can they convert votes into seats?

Today the labour movement has lost a giant. Jimmy Hood was a dear friend and comrade who will be sadly missed.

I hope all of the @UKLabour and @ScottishLabour staffers have had the chance of some well earned rest over the past few days. The unsung heroes of election campaigns. Well done all, and in particular the fantastic @JohnPaulMcH and his team! 🌹

To suggest or infer there is any reason to investigate current and previous Scottish staff about their intentions or commitment, does them a grave disservice. We should be better than this. If the allegations are solely about me personally, then have the courage to say so.

When I visited the Occupied Palestinian Territories with @MedicalAidPal I saw first-hand how the Israeli occupation undermines Palestinians' access to basic services. @MedicalAidPal continues to provide critical medical aid to #Gaza . Donate here:

Incredible and emotional day. From ancient Nablus to the only Christian village in the West Bank, Taybeh. Overlooking the Jordan Valley - under Israeli plans it will be annexed, taking with it vital Palestinian water supplies. This country is as beautiful as you could imagine🇵🇸

It was an honour to pay tribute to Maria Fyfe tonight on her birthday. A friend and comrade who has done so much for Party. She stands shoulder to shoulder with those who have struggled before us, for peace and social justice. A giant of our movement 🌹✊

Some of us are lucky enough to work for the Labour Party, and some, like Kerry, simply are the Labour Party. She will be a big loss, but I am grateful to have had her as a friend and colleague for such a long time. I owe her a huge debt of gratitude. All of Scottish Labour does.

After 16 years, countless elections, by-elections, visits and events, regrettably now is the time to move on to new challenges. It’s been a privilege to work for the Labour Party and I am proud of the work and commitment that me and my former colleagues put in over the years.
