16 Jul 2026Culture & CommunitycelebratoryEvery time I visit, I spot something new, whether it's the military vehicles, the reconstructed First World War trench, or the thousands of artefacts on display. It's a fantastic day out for all ages.
16 Jul 2026Culture & CommunitycelebratoryIt's much more than a museum, it's a place that preserves the stories of those who served, provides a welcoming space for veterans, and gives visitors the chance to experience history in a truly hands-on way.
16 Jul 2026Culture & CommunitycelebratoryI recently caught up with founder Ian Inglis to hear more about the incredible work being done by the museum's team of volunteers.
15 Jul 2026MP & Parliamentcelebratory* Continued campaigning on the issues that matter most to local people, from illegal off-road bikes and better bus services to the East Calder Medical Centre. I'm incredibly proud of what we've achieved together, but I know there's still much more to do.
15 Jul 2026MP & Parliamentcelebratory* Launched the Robin Cook Internship, now in its second year, creating opportunities for local young people. * Brought the Youth Guarantee and a Youth Hub to West Lothian. * Secured UK Government investment for projects like Murieston United's new all-weather pitch.

15 Jul 2026MP & ParliamentcelebratoryTwo years ago people from across the Livingston constituency placed their trust in me to be their Member of Parliament. Since then, my team and I have worked every day to repay that trust by being visible, accessible and focused on delivering for our communities. 1/6
15 Jul 2026Crime & PolicingmeasuredI'm pleased the Edinburgh Evening News has picked up my campaign today. You can read the full story here: www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/your-world/l... Do you think the SNP Scottish Government is taking this issue seriously enough? Let me know in the comments.
15 Jul 2026Crime & PolicingmeasuredThat's why I've written to the Scottish Government calling for more resources for Police Scotland to tackle this issue, giving officers the backing they need to seize illegal vehicles and keep our communities safe.
15 Jul 2026Crime & PolicingmeasuredIllegal off-road bikes and modified e-bikes are one of the issues I hear about most from local residents. Whether it's being driven through parks, on pavements or around residential streets, people are fed up with the danger and disruption. They want to see action, not excuses.

13 Jul 2026MP & ParliamentcelebratoryI believe Andy is the right person to build on that progress and make sure every part of the country shares in Britain's success. Take a look at the video below to hear why I've nominated Andy.
13 Jul 2026MP & ParliamentcelebratoryOver the past two years, we've seen what a Labour Government can achieve: record investment in Scotland, higher wages, stronger rights at work, support through the Youth Guarantee, and billions invested in Britain's future.
13 Jul 2026Local GovernmentcelebratoryAndy has shown what's possible when you back local communities with the powers and investment they need to succeed. His vision is simple, delivering good growth in every postcode. That's an approach I want to see right across the UK.
13 Jul 2026MP & ParliamentcelebratoryI've nominated Andy Burnham to become the next Leader of the Labour Party and Prime Minister of our country.
