I'm running a campaign for a bolder Scottish Labour Party, with new ideas and a determination to change people's lives for the better. Watch highlights from my campaign launch below. 👇
We need to learn lessons from where we've won, not just where we've lost. That's why Na h-Eileanan Siar was one of the first stops on my tour and I'm so proud to have @donaldlabour's support.
Five pledges for a bolder Scottish Labour.
1. Shake up Holyrood.
2. Resist austerity
3. Put working people in control of the future
4. Be bold
5. Give our party back to the grassroots
It’s time to be bolder.
It’s time to be Labour.
Another day on the road, another chance to hear directly from Labour members.
📍Lossiemouth
📍Elgin
📍Aberdeen
📍Edinburgh
I’m taking this campaign across Scotland because the future of our party won’t be decided in the Holyrood bubble, it will be built in our communities.
Proud to be nominated by Unison Labour Link Scotland.
Unison members hold Scotland together. They keep our local services running.
Together, we will rebuild Scottish Labour with workers at our core.
I believe Joe is best placed to lead Scottish Labour into the council elections next year & aligning his vision with the UK Gov. by proper use of the devolved powers Scotland already has, and handing more local control & funding to towns & cities. Listening to Joe - he gets this.
We don't need to wait for new powers to show what Labour values look like in government. The Budget process is one of the sharpest tools we've got.
Watch the clip 👇
As a South Lanarkshire Councillor I have seen Joe's leadership first hand. He took our group into power and delivered for the people of South Lanarkshire when people didnt think it was possible. Now he has the experience and skills to do that as the Leader of @ScottishLabour.
Scotland's councils are sitting on £67 billion in pension funds. That's money that could build homes, create jobs and strengthen our communities. It's time we put it to work for Scotland. 💰🏗️

Four weeks to go. And everything to play for.
This campaign is about taking our message directly to Labour members across Scotland and making the case for a bolder future for our party.
If you believe Scottish Labour can be bold again, get involved and help us win.
@JoeJFagan is a proven leader who knows that the only way to win back trust is to deliver for working people. I’m glad he’s setting out a plan that won’t see Labour sit on the sidelines like before but seek to deliver real change from opposition.
Proud to be backed by @GMBScotOrg
Trade unions are the backbone of our movement standing up for working people every single day and Scottish Labour must always do the same.
Together, we can rebuild from the grassroots up and put working people at the heart of Scotland’s future
