I'm delighted that @AberdeenCC Housing Committee unanimously agreed my amendment to make sure private and social tenants are told about their new rights under the Housing (Scotland) Act. https://t.co/8uGA0n6g4r
The decline in oil and gas jobs has been going on for well over a decade, and at the same time we have had the empty rhetoric of Just Transition. The private sector has failed to develop new green industries and jobs, and there is a crying need for the state to now step in.
Tens if not hundreds of thousands of oil and gas workers lost their jobs in the decade after the 2014 price crash while the Tories were in power. These skilled workers were discarded, not planned for and often left Scotland to work abroad. We have all lost out as a result.
For those who have contacted me, and others, I can confirm that the encampment has left the area at St Fittick’s Park and the clean up of the area by council officers is due to begin today.
I'm delighted that @AberdeenCC Finance committee today agreed my motion to enable the fantastic #Torry#mensshed to access an unused council building. The report comes back on 5 August.
The SNP have failed our young people. Scottish Labour will make sure our education system has the staff, resources, and opportunities needed to give all students the best start possible.

@VoteYesSept Housing is devolved. The SNP have had nearly 20 years in power, and we are now in a housing emergency. I dread to think how much worse it may become.
This election is about getting the basics right. Scottish Labour will drive down waiting lists, speed up ambulance response times, and ensure we have an NHS free and available when we need it.
