Cllr Bruce MacFarlane

Proud to announce that I will be the @theSNP candidate in the upcoming by-election in Paisley Southeast (Ward 6). I will be a strong local voice for the people of Paisley in Renfrewshire Council. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #votesnp

It has been the honour of my life representing the people of Renfrewshire North and West. However, I have tonight informed local members that I will not be seeking re-election in the 2026 Scottish Parliament election.

Brilliant teams out in Renfrew and Erskine today for @theSNP National Day of Action. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #ActiveSNP

Out in Paisley with the Depute Provost and Renfrewshire Council colleagues at Sma Shot Day.

📺 My opening statement from the STV debate. I'm the only candidate who will: 1️⃣ Stand up to Westminster's power grab and defend our democracy. 2️⃣ Maintain a pro-independence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @ScotParl majority. 3️⃣ Unequivocally protect and advance the rights of all. #HumzaForScotland

Matter. Of. Time. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💪 #ScottishIndependence #Yes

Proud to have voted for the Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill today. The heartfelt and thankful messages I am already receiving from constituents serves as a good reminder of the real difference this will make to the lives of trans people. 🏳️‍⚧️ #TransRightsAreHumanRights

Christmas night out with my amazing Renfrewshire North & West constituency office team. ⭐️🎄🎉

Thanks for having me :D

Dropped in to the @SmartEnergyGB Racing Game Off in @ScotParl, an event aiming to promote the benefits of smart meters and the support that is available for people. Loved the opportunity to test my skills against my fellow parliamentarians at Sonic Racing. Too easy 😎🔥

@DanielaMSYP @McCrackersSYP Congratulations Daniela, very well deserved hope to be working with both you and @McCrackersSYP going forward :)

A year ago on Tuesday I received the news that I had not been elected. Now I’m very happy to announce that alongside @McCrackersSYP we will be your MSYPs for Paisley! I am very excited to get to know everyone and what the upcoming year will bring 😊

Our new Promise Champions in Renfrewshire are amazing- thinking of others and looking for your support - #keepthepromise 🎄💝 @RenfrewshireCoC @EngageNews1 @RenCouncil @macfarlanebruce

Delighted to have been appointed as Convener of @ScotParl @SP_SJSS Committee today. Really looking forward to this new challenge. Also pleased to have @Emma_Roddick MSP as Deputy Convener and proud to have two young women at the heart of shaping Scotland’s social security system.

Douglass Ross has actually just had the audacity to say that Scottish independence will lead to mortgage instability. Eh, pretty sure it’s the Tories who crashed the economy and have seen mortgage rates rise to the highest rate since the financial crash. #whynotscotland #fmqs

A pleasure to meet with @claudiaplakolm, State Secretary for Youth for the Federal Chancellery of Austria today, alongside @Emma_Roddick to discuss issues facing young people and particularly women in politics and what more we can do to encourage participation.

Brilliant morning in Bridge of Weir chatting to people about Scottish independence. Lots of residents fed up with the chaos in Westminster. The UK Government continue to deny Scottish democracy and it’s clear that voters here want a choice on their future. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #indyref2023

Scotland did not vote for this absolute car crash. The UK is a laughing stock and people deserve better. We need independence. #WhyNotScotland
