The Clyde Metro should be Glasgow’s next great infrastructure project — but communities who’ve waited too long are being left behind. No route map. No funding plan. No urgency. The SNP Government must deliver a clear, costed timeline.

The @SNPforGlasgow wants to shut the door on Ruchill — but Glasgow Labour won’t let them. We stand with the community and will fight every step to keep the centre open. Ruchill deserves better than more boarded-up promises from the SNP. https://t.co/A7JyhHSuSX

People have been “strung along” for years hoping their community centre would reopen when it is to shut permanently a councillor has said.

Glasgow’s finances are on the brink. A £25m overspend, a housing crisis, and now an audit warning of ‘significant risks’ to the city’s future. This is the legacy of SNP rule: reckless, short-sighted, and failing our communities. https://t.co/1hFQF3lAUA

£13 million wasted on agency staff because of SNP austerity and incompetence. They've hollowed out vital services, handed fortunes to private firms, and left our city dirtier than ever. Glasgow deserves better.

The SNP’s addiction to waste is bad for taxpayers, bad for public services and bad for trust in politics. As First Minister, I will end the SNP’s quango culture and restore accountability in politics. https://t.co/vGfexGXIpD

The Labour government is investing an additional £200 million in a transition plan for refining at Grangemouth in the space of just 9 months. It has also guaranteed full pay for all refinery workers for the next 18 months to help manage the affected workers into new industrial

A UK Labour government that’s delivering — and making work pay.
Today, the National Living Wage is rising - and 200,000 of the lowest paid Scots are getting a pay increase. A Labour government delivering for Scotland.
