Great to be joined by so many @ScottishLabour colleagues here in Liverpool at the @UKLabour conference. Together we’re speaking up for Scotland and - at the first conference with @andyburnam as our Prime Minister - making the case for hope in our national life.

If you don't have help from the bank of Mum and Dad, this is for you:
This government is introducing the Your First Home scheme to help more young people buy their first home with a deposit of just 2.5%.
That means less to save upfront, and lower monthly costs once you’ve got the keys.
And this help is coming soon, with pre-registration set to open by the end of the year.
ALT Graphic reads: Launching soon, first-time buyers scheme with 2.5% deposit.

Solidarity with Glasgow City Council workers and their trade unions.
Shame on those who have deployed union-busting tactics and sought to divide workers.
The UK Labour government is rightly banning fire and rehire, a law we now know is needed to protect workers from the SNP.
Glasgow City Council pauses plan to fire and rehire 23,000 staff.

Glad to say that our @macmillancancer coffee morning in the Scottish Parliament was a success and that’s thanks to everyone who baked and donated.
It’s all for a vital cause.
I wish everyone well who is hosting their own coffee morning today!

I was proud to support the UK Government Bill that will make fire and rehire illegal. It is astonishing that weeks out from the ban coming into play, the SNP-led Glasgow City Council are threatening this cruel practice on its own workforce.
This morning, I have written to @GlasgowCC Chief Executive asking her to rule out this cruel threat of fire and rehire and bring in ACAS to work with the trade unions and Glasgow City Council to find a fair settlement 👇📄
