Approving Jackdaw is a pragmatic decision that backs Scottish workers and builds a bridge to a renewables future.

🌹 Cllr George McIrvine and Cllr Dorothy McHugh attended the opening of Dundee’s Community Covid Memorial Garden. Created with contributions from over 200 local people, it honours those we lost and the solidarity shown across our communities throughout the pandemic.

🌹 Good street surgery in Coldside today with Councillor George McIrvine. Lots of positive conversations with local residents, and plenty of folk agreeing that it’s time for a change at next year’s local elections. 🗳️

I said I would make the case for further devolution within Scotland directly to Downing Street and Bute House. I’m delighted Andy is backing this approach, and I hope John Swinney does too. Let’s work together to put power in the hands of local people.
"My message to John is simple, I want to push economic power out into the regions of Scotland, do you?" Andy Burnham challenges Scotland's First Minister John Swinney to "push power" out from Westminster and Holyrood "into the hands of local people" bbc.in/4yl7lNX

People are sick of the point scoring. They want politicians to work together to solve problems. It’s time power was pushed out to local communities across Scotland.

It was really good to hear @michaeljmarra show his support for community ownership of renewable energy.
The energy is generated locally – the power, money and control should stay local too. Leader of Scottish Labour @michaeljmarra explains how a £100m Community Energy Fund would help communities own a share of Scotland’s renewable future.

10,000 kids have nowhere to call home. 1 in 5 are growing up in poverty. Politicians owe it to those kids to build a fairer nation.

Scotland’s energy should build wealth for the communities that generate it. Scottish Labour Leader @MichaelJMarra is backing a £100m Community Energy Fund to help local people own projects and keep more of the returns locally. That’s why we champion community ownership.

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?

📍Our conference delegates, Neica and Kenny, spent the past few days in Liverpool proudly representing our local movement. It was inspiring to see @michaeljmarra take the stage and deliver his first conference speech as leader of @ScottishLabour 🌹

Over 7,000 people have died since the Scottish Government declared a drugs a public health emergency. Scots are 15 times more likely to die from drugs if they are poor than if they are rich. We can't go on like this.
