Andrene Maxwell

Office Manager for Rhoda Grant, retiring Labour MSP representing the Highlands and Islands. Views expressed are my own.

[Torcuil Crichton MP for Na h-Eileanan an Iar @Torcuil]

A win - I pressed the Treasury to review banking hubs in light of plans to close the Bank of Scotland in Balivanich. The Uist population doesn’t currently qualify for a hub, we have to change the system to take into account island and rural communities in this consultation.

[Scottish Labour @ScottishLabour]

Congratulations @donaldlabour on becoming the Scottish Labour MSP for Na h-Eileanan an Iar constituency!

[Anas Sarwar @AnasSarwar]

More than 30 major Scottish business leaders have backed me to become First Minister.

I’m standing tomorrow to fix the mess, get the basics right and build a better future for Scotland.

The SNP have given Scotland 20 years of waste and failure.

Give me 5 to deliver the change Scotland needs. 🖐️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[Donald MacKinnon @donaldlabour]

I’m standing to represent my home, the islands that I love. Vote @scottishlabour on Thursday to give us the voice we need in Edinburgh.

[Anas Sarwar @AnasSarwar]

.@Daily_Record is right. On Thursday vote to reject Reform, beat the SNP and for the change Scotland needs.

Vote @ScottishLabour 🗳️

[Scottish Labour @ScottishLabour]

Vote to reject Reform. Vote to beat the SNP. Vote for change. Use both your votes for Scottish Labour on May 7.

[Donald MacKinnon @donaldlabour]

Under the SNP the Comhairle’s core budget has seen a cumulative cut of £280 million since 2013-14. That is totally unsustainable and has directly led to cuts to the services we rely on. We need an MSP who is actually going to call this out not just sit on their hands.

[Stornoway Gazette @Sygazette]

Depopulation stats spark fury over cuts https://t.co/3scwtdpL5X

[Donald MacKinnon @donaldlabour]

This election is a two horse race between @scottishlabour and the SNP! 🐑

[Anas Sarwar @AnasSarwar]

Give me 5 (years to change Scotland)! ✋The SNP has had their chance over the past 20 years. Scotland needs change. #BothVotesScottishLabour

[Scottish Labour @ScottishLabour]

Scottish Labour will get Scots the specialist mental health care they need and get police back on the streets where they belong. #STVdebate

[Anas Sarwar @AnasSarwar]

The SNP has failed to tackle Scotland's drug deaths emergency.

As First Minister I’ll do the hard work that’s required to tackle the issue head on, so no family has to pay the ultimate price.

[Donald MacKinnon @donaldlabour]

Anas Sarwar gets it. He’s the First Minister our islands need.

Make it both votes @ScottishLabour on 7th May🗳️

[shaun_fraser @Shaun_Fraser]

We've been out across Inverness & Nairn this weekend. We don't take a single vote for granted at this election and are working flat out to earn every single Labour vote.

[Gordon McKee MP @GordonMcKeeMP]

These numbers don’t show progress.

[Donald MacKinnon @donaldlabour]

The SNP has systematically eroded the Comhairle’s budget since 2013-14.
With by far the most significant real terms core budget cuts of any local authority in Scotland.

How has Alasdair Allan let this happen without so much as a whimper?
