I’m not even sure what to say. Is it because I have a different opinion or because I’m English the leader of the nation I live in has blocked me on Twitter?
Another day goes by and it’s total silence from the leader of North Lanarkshire Council and his colleagues. When/will he finally do the right thing and resign?
Massive congratulations to Kaye Harmon on the latest Scottish Labour by-election win. We know you’ll be a great local champion for Motherwell South East and Ravenscraig.
Change is possible - across Scotland, across the UK.
Boris Johnson cannot even the name of the SNP right. Calls them "the Scottish Nationalist Party" on
#marr
. Expect that is deliberate & not a slip but shows disrespect to not use the proper name of your political opponents.
People across Airdrie & Shotts will be appalled by this unnecessary and damaging decision affecting Shotts Leisure Centre & John Smith Pool.
@theSNP
locally will work with local people to see these potential closures stopped. The campaign to save our leisure facilities is on.
My husband,
@KGDuffy7
has just been elected the youngest and first openly LGBT+ Provost of North Lanarkshire. To say I’m proud, would be an understatement.
Only
@ScottishLabour
will stand up for you and the issues that matter most. Thanks to the boss
@AnasSarwar
for supporting our election bid in Motherwell North 🗳🌹
Scots say independence is not a priority.
63% of Scots believe ‘a second referendum is not a priority at this time’.
It’s time for
@NicolaSturgeon
to start listening.
Today a collation of chaos took control of North Lanarkshire Council on a temporary basis. Labour voters do not worry, we will not let them off lightly. (1/2)
A vote for
@AnasSarwar
is a vote against hate, England bashing, blaming others for our own failures, and a vote for a positive future without going back to old arguments .
More lies from
@theSNP
. They must be getting worried 👇🏼
🏴 Only the SNP offers the bold ideas for Scotland's recovery - and after the pandemic, the choice of what kind of country we want to be.
🛑 A vote for Anas Sarwar’s Labour is a vote to keep Scotland's future in the hands of Boris Johnson.

📣Candidate Announcement 📣
@ScottishLabour
are proud to announce their candidates for Motherwell North ward in the 2022
@nlcpeople
Andrew and Ayeshah are both looking forward to the campaign ahead and speaking to as many people in our communities as possible.
It’s been 6 months today since Cllr Khan and I were elected to serve the people of Motherwell North ward. It’s been a steep learning curve returning to local government, one that I couldn’t have done it without the support of Ayeshah.
Get yourself a ward partner like this 👇🏼
Final Stop: Hamilton!
Everywhere we go today the message is clear: People in Rutherglen and Hamilton West are desperate for a fresh start.
Scottish Labour will be the party to deliver just that.
#FreshStart
I don’t have many pictures with my grandad, but this is by far my favourite. My values and beliefs come from my upbringing. I know how lucky I to be able to say that.
You win some, you loose some but I couldn’t be prouder of
@chris_roarty
this evening. He’s been a fantastic candidate to support these past few week, and an even better brother from another mother ✊🏼🎉
How would you suggest saving over £64m while you’re government spend nearly £500m on the ferry fiasco?
The SNP amendment just kicked the decision down the line. No answers or savings proposals!
We all have hard choices after yrs of Tory austerity &UK inflation ripping public finances - £1.7bn in year from Scottish budget. Yet local gov resources up 3% in real terms.
@theSNP
had alternative today, but you & Labour/Tory colleagues chose to close leisure facilities.
I hope that in publicising our marriage it gives other members of the LGBT community and other marginalised groups the courage and confidence to be proud in their own skin. Thank you
@timesandstar
Now more than ever, our country needs political leadership that will bring people together.
I want to rebuild Scottish Labour, and then rebuild Scotland.
That work starts now.
On a political note, I am very humbled to have been appointed Vice Convener of Education, Children and Families, alongside Convener

Great evening in Newmains taking our positive message to the doors. Vote
@ScottishLabour

Tonight I briefly went to watch a full council meeting in North Lanarkshire where I witnessed the

@ScotTories
. No mention of the male leader of
@scottishlabour
, just
@GallacherMeghan
. Every day sexism.
I’m proud to be hosting my first British Sign Language advise surgery at

Tomorrow, I’ll take great pleasure in voting for a

candidate in

It’s been a horrible couple of weeks Kenny, I with Belle. But, after being on the verge of going to sleep she has pulled through, came out the other end and is doing great.
Kenny and I are so proud of our girl. We love her so much. ❤️
9 years ago today, I took office as Mayor of Workington. At the time, I was the youngest person in the UK to hold such a position.
9 years later 30 years old and grey 😭🌹
As unwell as I feel today, I’m still proud to have been given my first vaccine by the wonderful team at NHS Lanarkshire. When you get the chance, get the vaccine.

This morning we were out in the Ravenscraig fighting for every last vote for our great Councillor / my husband
@KGDuffy7
🗳🌹 Vote Scottish Labour 1 and 2 tomorrow and elect local champions.
Conversation with my barber today:
Him: do you want me to hide the receding hair line?
Me: what receding hair line?
I’m not even 30 and most of my hair is grey, now my hair is receding 😳
Only Labour can beat the Tories at Westminster, the SNP are useless and only want to talk constitutional matters.
Vote for a local lad who lives in the area, Vote Kenneth Stevenson in Airdrie & Shotts 🌹
The papers are in and Kenneth Stevenson is officially our candidate for the upcoming Westminster by-election. We look forward to working over the next few weeks to turn Airdrie and Shotts red and send Kenneth to represent us in Westminster. 🌹
#VoteLabour
Absolutely delighted to confirm that
@Angela4Bellshil
and I have secured the nomination of
@NorthLanLabour
as delegates to
@COSLA
. Incredibly excited to get stuck in and stand up for our local authority. Thank you to the group leader for putting his trust in us.
On May 5th, vote
@ScottishLabour
and elected local champions in Motherwell North that will work with the council, not against to ensure our communities get their fair share 👇🏼🗳🌹
Tomorrow, I’ll be starting my new role with
@Lan_Carers

Eid in the Park celebration in Coatbridge.
A wonderful celebration of multicultural Lanarkshire.
Thank you North Lanarkshire Muslim Women & Family Alliance.
I was proud to represent my home town of Workington as Mayor and. visit our sister cities across the EU. I’m incredibly disappointed to be leaving the EU tonight, but I’m confident we’ll be back. Leave the door open.
Monica is wrong. If it was closed, Councillors would have been expelled, not suspended. Incredibly disappointed in
@MonicaLennon7
here. Bring back our AWARD WINNING councillors and leader.
In less than 1 year I’m getting married to the love of my life
@KGDuffy7
. The hardest part of the the organisation was choosing a best man, I couldn’t just chose one - so I chose three ❤️
Today, in North Lanarkshire it goes to show the only party capable of taking on the SNP is Scottish Labour. I cannot remember the last time the Scottish Tories gained council seats from them.
