Airdrie&ShottsLabour

best of luck to former colleague Helen McFarlane standing in @AirdrieShottsLP for Labour today. She'd make a great MP: caring, kind, honest

National campaigning has been suspended but not local. Hope this helps :)

They thought it was all over... not a chance! We are in it to win it! And after tonight, we sure feel the people behind us! Outstanding

A Hat-Trick! Regeneration of Airdrie is a paramount! Audience member whispers "she has done her research". Outstandingly rousing here

Having a Stormer! Transport now... build a train station in Shotts. Better Bus services in Salburgh! Local people need better transport

Good Reaction: Helen commits to oppose the Woodhall and Faskine Farm destruction for private housing, when we have so many brownfield sites

It's getting tasty...

Helen attacks and demands the scrapping of the Tory Trade Union laws

Helen: a fairer tax system. Find tax evaders, tax corporations a little more; it's all in the public domain

Helen: produced a manifesto, and a costing of the manifesto. Every time we come up with a good policy, it's rubbishes as expensive. No more!

Q7. Labour manifesto is attractive, but how will it be paid for?

Helen: a Hard Brexit is a nightmare; we want a Brexit for working people!

Question 6: is No Deal better than a bad Deal?

Helen: height of arrogance to call an election because they thought they were going to win a landslide. We hope this arrogance is punished

Question 5. Why did May call for this election? Isn't it all mistimed and inappropriate?

The hypocrisy of the Tories to attack Corbyn's attitude to peace, when they cosy up to Saudi regimes. These sales must stop

Next Question: where is the morality in our Foreign Policy, when our economy is built in the sale of arms to despotic regimes?

Dialogue and Peace are the centre of a truly global world! We are only safe when we approach and aid those who need our help
