Anniesland Labour

Start of Day 2 at #ScotLab22 and the first 2 speakers in the justice debate, supporting court and tribunal reform are @AnnieslandLab's own @EvaCMurray & @DavenaRankin!

And winding up the Justice debate, @Labour_GCC's biggest gain from the last year - @JillBGlasgow! A gain, not just for Labour, but for our council and our City! #ScotLab22

Moving on to the Education debate at #ScotLab22 (I suspect we'll be for)! Arguing for the emphasis of both learner and staff well-being in our schools, @AnnieslandLab's Margaret Houston moves the @SocialistEdAS motion...

Glasgow Anniesland CLP has voted to endorse @AnasSarwar in the Scottish Labour Leadership Election. Thank you to all members who took part in this afternoon’s meeting 🌹

A huge THANK YOU to @FARE_Scotland for donating £1000 worth of ALDI vouchers for those families the G13/G14 Support Hub supported through lockdown. By working with local schools, @sandybusby2 & I were able to get them out into the community today - a lovely surprise for many! ⭐️

Glasgow Anniesland CLP is raising money to support families in our constituency this Christmas & spread a little festive cheer. Every penny you donate will help us buy more selection boxes for young people in our community! Can you help? crowdfunder.co.uk/selection-boxe… 🎅🎄🍫

Thanks to @BarryBlackNE & @MrMcEnaney we are now able to see how the SQA results fiasco impacted schools in Glasgow Anniesland. It’s clear that this was a system rigged against working class kids - how John Swinney could look at these results & think it was fair is beyond me.

Today is the 20th anniversary of Donald Dewar's death. He made it his life's work to turn the dream of devolution into a reality. His words at the opening of our Parliament two decades ago are as vital today in our mission to deliver social justice and a better nation.

Donald Dewar died 20 years ago today. His legacy lives on, and it is our duty to build upon it.

I never had the chance to meet Donald Dewar but I have many friends who knew him & tell me great stories about him. 20 years on he is still missed by them & the people of Glasgow Anniesland. Donald was the best of our movement, he never forgot the communities who elected him❤️🌹

20 years ago today Scotland lost it's first First Minister & Glasgow Anniesland lost it's first MSP. Donald's legacy lives on across Glasgow Anniesland in the places named after him, in the stories people tell of him & in the work he did to make his constituent's lives better 🌹

On the anniversary of his death I wanted to share this photo of Donald Dewar at the opening of the Scottish Parliament. I got to spend some time with him that day and remember how obviously happy this usually reserved man was. A day of celebration that Donald deserved to enjoy.

20 years ago today, Scotland lost our first First Minister, and Glasgow Anniesland lost our first MSP. Donald was a great Leader for the country, but also a well-known face to the constituency. His loss is still felt so keenly by his community, his party and his country today.

Some of the team out on the European #LabourDoorstep this morning. Labour face a tough challenge in a few weeks' time - but we're ready for it.

☔It may have been a wet and windy #LabourDoorstep - but our Policies #ForTheMany still went down a storm in Knightswood! ☔

Donald Dewar was a real inspiration for many and the best constituency representative I have ever met. I treasure a copy of the Scotland Act that he signed for me. He delivered the referendum within 5 months of the election and the parliament just two years later.

Some of our members, Local councillors and our Westminster candidate, @PJFerguson18, will be at the #EIS27Oct march and demo today to support Teachers and get COSLA and the Scottish Government to #PayAttention.
