Weekly Round-up – 19 October 2025

Labour now say there’ll be no referendum—even if the SNP wins a majority—so it’s clear Scotland must take our future into our own hands. With Farage’s rise and the UK’s democratic deficit worsening, our task is to deliver an indisputable SNP majority next year on the new boundaries finalised on 16 October; my team in Falkirk East and Linlithgow is ready. I’ve signed Scotland’s Right to Decide, welcomed the Gaza ceasefire while insisting on aid access, accountability and a two-state solution, and left Conference energised by a clear, positive offer: a fresh start with independence, cutting NHS bottlenecks through walk-in GP centres and supporting care with sponsored visas. Now let’s persuade our friends and neighbours—independence won’t happen by itself.
