  1. Visiting Reid Kerr College this morning to meet with Principal Audrey Cumberford & find out more about what's going on at the college.
  2. UK economy shrank 0.3% in the first 3 months of 2012. Tories attacking workers rights & blaming businesses is not a viable growth strategy.
  3. Concerned Hewlett Packard is to cut 27,000 jobs globally. I’m monitoring to see how & if this will affect the HP site at Bishopton.
  4. At Glasgow Airport to see Glencoats Primary get a cheque for £2,528 towards their health & well-being campaign from BAAs Flight Path fund.
  5. Bank of England cuts growth forecast to 0.8%. Tories policies fail to stimulate growth. We need a new plan to get economy back on track.
  6. Rather than blame businesses & workers the Tories should create policies that stimulate growth, creates jobs & gets our economy moving.
  7. Delighted that Labour have retaken control of Renfrewshire Council. Well done to all candidates & activists who helped make this happen.
  8. I welcome Alex Salmond's decision to give evidence to Leveson Inquiry. Hopefully it can get to the truth of this matter.
  9. Allegations Alex Salmond tried to influence Culture Minister over NewsCorp bid for BSkyB worrying given Murdoch's support for SNP last year.
  10. Tories have led UK into double-dip recession. We need jobs & growth not cuts. Labour 5 point plan would be a start to restoring our economy.
  11. News that Life Technologies are investing £12.5m into their Inchinnan site is good news for Renfrewshire.
  12. Disappointed Doosan have scrapped £170million investment in Renfrew & angry at SNP Government who knew since December & tried to hide it.
  13. Visiting Erskine care home for veterans in Erskine with Jim Murphy MP & Gemma Doyle MP.
  14. Tory tax & benefit changes due to come into force tomorrow. Most of these changes won't benefit my constituents only the well off.
  15. Out campaigning in Paisley East and Ralston.
  16. Attended the official opening of Labour Campaign centre in Renfrew with Anas Sarwar, deputy leader of the Scottish Labour Party.
  17. Attended a very good social/fundraiser night in Renfrew where Scottish Labour leader Johann Lamont was guest of honour.
  18. Pleased by UK Supreme Court's ruling that families of those who died as a result of asbestos exposure can claim compensation.
  19. 14p rises for 1st & 2nd class stamps may not seem a lot but it puts extra strain on working & low income people who use postal services.
  20. Tory budget fails to address concerns of Renfrewshire people. Benefits the rich and does nothing to tackle the current unemployment crisis.
