Alan Brown

MSP for Kilmarnock and Irvine Valley

[Alan Brown @AlanBrownSNP]

Referring to Dunblane as “one murder” is a shameful distortion of one of Scotland’s darkest days.

16 children and their teacher were massacred in the UK’s deadliest mass shooting.

A stark reminder of just how out of touch Britain’s privileged elites really are.

The proposed AI data centre at Hurlford in my constituency could use the equivalent power output of Whitelee - the largest wind farm in the UK.

With 24 data centres proposed across Scotland, I asked how the cumulative impact of these developments is being assessed.

A constituent contacted me concerned about changes to the Motability Scheme.

I raised the issue with the First Minister. He confirmed the 1 July changes announced elsewhere in the UK won't apply in Scotland and committed to further engagement with ministers and Motability

Constituent Cammy Wilson, known for The Sheep Game, recently highlighted the importance of ensuring farmers receive a fair price for their produce.

I raised this in Holyrood, seeking assurances efforts to make food more affordable will also protect farmers and food producers👇

[Alan Brown @AlanBrownSNP]

During my first speech in Holyrood, a Reform MSP intervened to challenge my comments on nuclear.

The problem? One isolated example doesn't outweigh the wider evidence.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 energy should be based on facts and focused on delivering affordable energy for households and businesses.

Pitch invasions have long been part of football celebrations, but the scenes over the weekend crossed a line.

Therefore, I raised the prospect of strict liability. Football authorities need to stop burying their heads in the sand and the clubs must take greater responsibility.

Out on the farm near Kilmarnock with Cammy Wilson and our local candidate @AlanBrownSNP

Cammy started farming with four sheep, now he has 1,500 and a global social media audience. Brilliant to meet him and help with the lambs.

The SNP is on the side of rural Scotland. 🐑

[David Linden MSP @DavidLinden]

Good to be out supporting my pal @AlanBrownSNP on the doors in Killie. A weel kent face, it’s brilliant to see such strong local support for Alan to be Kilmarnock & Irvine Valley’s next MSP. #activeSNP

[Alan Brown @AlanBrownSNP]

So much for change? ❌

Labour promised £300 off bills – instead families face yet another hike.

📈 Price cap July 2024: £1,568
📈 Today: £1,755

Labour even blocked cheaper bills for Scotland to protect the South East

Only with independence can we use 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 energy to cut bills

[Alan Brown @AlanBrownSNP]

Proud to announce my candidacy for Kilmarnock and Irvine Valley with @theSNP. If elected, I’ll work hard to represent all constituents. Thanks to local members and activists for their trust and support. I'd also like to pay tribute to Willie Coffey MSP for his service since 2007.

[Marie Robertson SNP @MRobertsonSNP]

🗳️ Election Day

Labour has cut winter fuel payments and backs more austerity ❌

Meanwhile, ScotGov has invested £1.2bn to shield us from harmful Westminster policies 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I’ll work hard on the issues that matter to you. Vote Marie Robertson #1 for Kilmarnock West & Crosshouse ☑️

[Marie Robertson SNP @MRobertsonSNP]

⁉️ Who am I?

With my NHS background, I know how vital public services are to our community. The cost of living crisis is hitting hard, but @theSNP is investing £3 billion annually to tackle poverty.

Let’s work together for a better future #VoteSNP

[Alan Brown @AlanBrownSNP]

Deeply saddened by the passing of former FM Alex Salmond. Honoured to have served on the Scottish Affairs Committee during what may have been his final Westminster visit in February—sharp and formidable as ever. A true giant of politics who took us to the cusp of independence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[Alan Brown @AlanBrownSNP]

@SteveyB105 No. As the powers and thereby the budget were still to be devolved when Reeves made the decision, Labour cut the WFA budget accordingly. UK Labour Govt don't even deny that so why you try to argue otherwise is rather pointless.

[Alan Brown @AlanBrownSNP]

As Labour prepare for vote to remove winter fuel allowance from millions of pensioners, a reminder that last week they found £5.5bn to throw at Sizewell C Nuclear black hole.
[£8bn in total just for design development. Fantasy economics]

[Alan Brown @AlanBrownSNP]

@watchingferries @SteveyB105 If WM reversed the policies and spent more money there would be Barnett monies allocated to Scotland. That's how it works.
It also meant when the bedroom tax was implemented, then the equivalent percentage was lost from block grant.
