Statement to voters

When I was first elected in 2015 I could never have predicted four years on, amidst chaos and uncertainty, we would be heading for the polls for our third General Election.

Full statement



I don’t think many people could, these are extraordinary times.

It has been the privilege of my life to represent my hometown of Livingston since 2015 and I am proud of the record I stand on, one of standing up for equality, against injustice and the brutal Tory welfare cuts that have hit the poorest in my constituency and across Scotland hardest.

In this time amongst many other things I have:

Campaigned successfully to keep local libraries open when the West Lothian council Labour and Conservative administration tried to close them

Set up a community hub with local volunteers to ensure no Kaiam workers went without support when they lost their jobs just before Christmas.

Launched the All Party Parliamentary Group on Deaths Abroad and Consular Services following the suspicious deaths of constituents Julie Pearson and Kirsty Maxwell delivered a comprehensive report that will seek to overhaul the way families are properly supported.

Successfully lobbied the UK Government to create an Independent Aviation Noise Authority (IANA) and set up a local noise board so that local communities affected by aviation noise can be heard and involved in decisions.

Run two Marathons, completed the KiltWalk and trekked 120km to raise money for local charities (Jak’s Den, the Michelle Henderson Cervical Trust and West Lothian Drug and Alcohol Project.)

I hope that I have proven to my constituents that I am a strong voice for the people of Livingston, but what I know is that in this campaign and in these unprecedented times we can’t afford to take a single vote for granted.
