Yet another busy year as your @theSNP councillor for Barrhead, Liboside and Uplawmoor.
As always, I’m keen to engage with local residents, businesses and organisations to make the ward a better place to live.
Onwards to 2025!

🌟 Congratulations to Uplawmoor Hotel!
What an incredible achievement to come second on Four in a Bed! Your hard work, hospitality, and dedication have truly put Uplawmoor on the map, and we couldn’t be prouder to have such a gem in our community.

💷 Record £21 billion for our NHS
🏠 8,000 new affordable homes
❄️ Winter Heating Payment for every pensioner household
✂️ Ending Labour’s two-child cap, lifting 15,000 kids out of poverty
🎭 £34m boost for Scotland’s culture
A budget that puts Scotland’s priorities first.
🏴 It's the SNP that is delivering for Scotland by fixing Labour's winter fuel crisis.
🥀 Labour promised "change", but instead they delivered more of the same by betraying pensioners.
🥀 As soon as they got into government, Labour decided to cut the Winter Fuel Payment.
🏴 We don’t think that’s right - so we’ve introduced a universal Winter Heating Payment for 900,000 Scots pensioners.
🥀 Labour’s budget will result in lower wages and higher taxes - all while the UK economy stagnates, says Kenny Gibson MSP.
🏴 Scotland needs independence to build an economy that works for Scotland’s people.
Pat McFadden: "Child poverty is really important to us"
"Overnight, according to the resolution Foundation, [ending the two child limit] would take 490,000 kids out of poverty"
McFadden "We didn't promise that at the election"
So child poverty isn't really important to you.
On #WorldAIDSDay, First Minister @JohnSwinney is encouraging everyone to #taketherightspath with a human rights-led approach and tackle stigma around HIV.
The right to health and freedom from discrimination are at the core of the HIV Transmission Elimination Delivery Plan.
🚈 The SNP took Scotland’s railway into public hands in 2022.
👷 Since entering government, we’ve built the Borders Railway line, and invested over £11bn improving Scotland’s rail infrastructure.
Yet again money that could be used elsewhere in Scotland is being consumed to mitigate bad policies from Westminster.
There will be those that talk down this decision.
But ask yourself, what are Labour doing about it in England and Wales?
Hoping for milder winters 🤷🏻♂️?
The UK Foreign Secretary recently said there are no journalists in Gaza. I presume he meant that the Israelis prevent outside journalists from entering. It was an unfortunate slip. Politicians should be following the heroic work of Palestinian journalists closely. @YousefHammash
St Andrew’s Day is a time when we celebrate Scotland's culture, history, and our shared values of openness and kindness.
To everyone with a connection to Scotland, here and abroad, we wish you a very happy St Andrew’s Day.
East Renfrewshire Council's Labour Administration is considering introducing means-tested charges for non-residential care services.
These services include social support, meals, day opportunities, and both building-based and community-based care.
🥀 Labour have created a £600 million National Insurance bill - while only increasing funding to Scotland by £400 million.
👎 They've given with one hand, and taken even more away with the other.

NEW: Scottish Labour have fallen further behind the SNP in the latest Holyrood polling.
Polling from Survation found the SNP would remain the largest party at Holyrood but still fall short of a majority.
👇 FACTS
🥀 All 37 of Scottish Labour’s MPs voted to end the Winter Fuel Payment for over millions of pensioners, hitting older people right across Scotland.
💛 SNP MPs voted against these draconian cuts.
