The Tories’ hard Brexit must be fought as it will cost Scottish jobs
Serving as your MP has been an honour, and it is a privilege to be seeking re-election for my home constituency.
I am particularly proud to be standing on my record and that of the SNP. Upon re-election I will continue to be available to listen to and represent your views.
I may not always agree with you but I will always ensure that you get a fair hearing and representation. To support this I have a professionally staffed office in Bathgate and ensure maximum availability through surgeries, appointments and home visits.
The big question in this election is which party is capable of preventing the Tories from doing whatever they want to Scotland?
At Westminster, the SNP have provided the only effective opposition to the Tories on austerity and their attacks on the poor, the disabled and pensioners.
Every vote for the SNP is a vote against further cuts to public spending, a vote to protect the triple lock on pensions, and a vote against any further cuts to low-income working families.
I pledge to continue to oppose a hard Tory Brexit which will have damaging consequences for all of us, costing up to 80,000 Scottish jobs. Doctors, nurses and care workers from the EU are vital to the functioning of our health service, yet they are treated as bargaining chips by the Tories. EU nationals must have their residency guaranteed.
The SNP is the only alternative to the Tories for those who want a stronger, fairer Scotland.
