Here’s my piece in this morning’s Daily Record making the case for deeper devolution within Scotland to help us deliver the good growth and good jobs people across our nation want to see. 👇
"The most devolved nation in the UK is one of the most centralised in Europe. And you can see the cost of that in every corner of the country."
@D_G_Alexander writes for the Record

Wonderful be on the former #Ravenscraig site today to hear @D_G_Alexander announce two new defence colleges for east & west Scotland funded by the UK & Scottish Governments.
To hear @andyburnham talk about re -industrialisation of Scotland at Ravenscraig, where my grandfather worked - was a momentous moment. I think I witnessed with my daughter today a pivotal moment in Scotland’s future.

Devolution should not stop at Holyrood. Andy Burnham’s speech here in Motherwell today set out how we can empower Scotland’s regions and create good jobs in every part of our nation.

Prime Minister Andy Burnham says the "time has come" for deeper devolution in Scotland and to unlock a feeling of positivity for young people, who he says are missing out on opportunities.

Thank you, really appreciated. Glasgow’s workers deserve better than fire and rehire. Proud to have had the chance to say that loud and clear at Labour Conference today. 🌹✊
Proud to be in the #Lab26 conference hall to hear @SuzanWKing call out the SNP minority administration in Glasgow for their tactics and threats to use Fire and Rehire on over 23,000 local government workers.
A great advocate for our city and our movement. 👑 🌹

Jackie Baillie on Andy Burnham’s pledge to make social care free at the point of use in England.
Social care is devolved in Scotland - and it's time the SNP delivered. 👇

A remarkable speech from @andyburnham in Liverpool this afternoon - outlining a bold and determined vision to transform the UK. #HopeAgain
Kate Watson retweeted
A new National Care Service. Greater public control of water, energy, and housing. A National Commission on Electoral Reform. Strengthening our relationship with Europe. Reforming the education and welfare system.
Today I set out a different path for Britain.
You may disagree with some or all of what I have said today. But I have given you what you often say is missing from politics.
Honesty, ideas and a clear direction for the country we all love.
If you agree with enough of what I have said, get behind this plan. And get behind each other.
It's time to draw a line.
To move beyond a decade of drift and division.
To bring a spirit of unity and positivity back to our country.
To unlock the working-class aspiration that is still there in every postcode.
To hope again.
Kate Watson retweeted
This is a tone deaf response from the First Minister.
Let’s engage positively as a country.
Kate Watson retweeted
Honest conversations. The courage to fix the big problems. A vision of hope.
@andyburnham is right about what’s needed.
Labour can deliver a stronger Scotland in a changing UK - with the funding to improve lives and a determination to have people’s backs.
Kate Watson retweeted
The Prime Minister just made a powerful, heartfelt & patriotic case for a progressive Britain, with solidarity and hope at its heart, and made clear his and our determination to defeat the politics of separation and division.
Kate Watson retweeted
Great to be joined by so many @ScottishLabour colleagues here in Liverpool at the @UKLabour conference. Together we’re speaking up for Scotland and - at the first conference with @andyburnam as our Prime Minister - making the case for hope in our national life.
