What I raised in the Scottish Parliament today on public safety and crowd management around large-scale celebrations in our city centres.

A good first day at Holyrood…

There are major challenges in Scottish education but there are also solutions. #education #elections #scotlibdems

@adamharley.bsky.social for #Strathkelvin&Bearsden will graft for his constituents, staying in touch all year round (not just at elections) and will raise their issues in the @scotparl.bsky.social . #scotlibdems #election #scotland

What's a Lib Dem's favourite fruit? Peaches! 🍑 That's because wherever you live you can use your peach ballot to elect a hard-working Liberal Democrat MSP who fill fight for you and your community.

Liberal Democrats are winning again. We are poised to take constituencies off the SNP right across Scotland. In seats right across the Highlands, in Argyll and Bute, Strathkelvin and Bearsden and Edinburgh Northern, it is only the Liberal Democrats who can beat the SNP.

Scottish Liberal Democrats are aiming to beat the SNP all over Scotland. Right across the Highlands, in Argyll and Bute, in Strathkelvin and Bearsden and in Edinburgh Northern only a vote for the Liberal Democrats can beat the SNP and deprive John Swinney of a majority.

At the @channel4news.bsky.social debate tonight @alex.scotlibdems.org.uk set out the @scotlibdems.org.uk positive vision for change in Scotland - focused on fixing the NHS, tackling the cost of living, and improving education. Both votes Lib Dem on 7th May. 🔶

All across Scotland, people are feeling the pain of Trump’s illegal war with Iran. Kemi Badenoch, Nigel Farage and Lord Offord should apologise for cheering on this war and driving up the costs for ordinary, hardworking families.

Caught in hailstones today while out door-knocking. Didn’t stop me. Only the Lib Dems can beat the SNP in Strathkelvin & Bearsden. Both votes Lib Dem on 7th May.

Scotland needs change with fairness at its heart. On 7 May you can vote for it by backing the Scottish Liberal Democrats on the peach-coloured regional ballot.

The Bearsden South by election made it obvious. With every poll, and on every doorstep it’s becoming clearer. Strathkelvin & Bearsden is a straight choice between the Lib Dems and the SNP. People want change. Vote Liberal Democrat on May 7th.🔶 @scotlibdems.org.uk

Great to launch the campaign in Strathkelvin & Bearsden today with Ed Davey and Alex Cole-Hamilton. But we’ve already been out for over a year - knocking on doors, listening, and working hard for our community. Only the Lib Dems can beat the SNP here. Back us on 7th May.🔶

Too many young people are written off in Scotland. I’ve seen how quickly lives can go off track without support. That’s why the Scottish Liberal Democrats want to expand youth work. Get this right, and we build a stronger, safer community.

We’ve proved something in East Dunbartonshire. When you knock doors and listen properly, you can win. I’ve spent the last year speaking to thousands of people across Strathkelvin & Bearsden - and I’m not stopping. Vote Lib Dem to replace the SNP on 7 May. #eastdunbartonshire

If you want to open a café in Kirkintilloch, a shop in Bearsden, or a service in Bishopbriggs, you should be set up to succeed - not struggle. We need to back small businesses and make it easier to start and grow. In Strathkelvin & Bearsden, only the Lib Dems can beat the SNP.

If you’re under 30 in Scotland and tried to get mental health support, you probably waited months. We need local services that help people quickly. The SNP has failed on mental health. In Strathkelvin & Bearsden only the Lib Dems can beat them. #mentalhealth

Young people are scunnered with politics. Honestly, I don’t blame them. But ignoring politics doesn’t mean it ignores you. #eastdunbartonshire #scottishpolitics

What people said in Bishopbriggs & Lenzie this weekend… 🚧 They’d fed up of crumbling roads and the local area going backwards. The SNP has squeezed councils for years. I’ll fight for fair funding at Holyrood. On 7th May, only the Lib Dems can beat the SNP here.🔶

In Bearsden South, the SNP slumped, Reform underperformed, the Conservatives collapsed - and it's clear Labour has no chance of winning here. Ben Langmead's victory proves Strathkelvin & Bearsden is a straight fight between the SNP and the Scottish Liberal Democrats.

This Budget was going to pass anyway. So we squeezed it. £300m for businesses, colleges, social care, hospices, and autism & ADHD assessments. That’s the difference a Lib Dem MSP makes. 🔶In Strathkelvin & Bearsden, only the Lib Dems can beat the SNP. #eastdunbartonshire

Out again in Kirkintilloch this evening. For more than a year I’ve been knocking doors across the constituency — listening, learning and standing up for local residents. I’ll keep going right through to May. Only the Liberal Democrats can beat the SNP here in May. #libdems #eastdunbartonshire

Out in Lenzie this evening - and the conversations were hugely encouraging. People want someone local. They want someone who’s put the work in. They want change. And they know the Lib Dems are the only party who can beat the SNP here. #libdems #lenzie

So many people feel stuck and ignored right now. That’s why I’ve spent the last year knocking doors across Strathkelvin & Bearsden - to listen to people. And if we’re serious about beating the SNP here, the only party that can do it are the Liberal Democrats. #libdems #eastdunbartonshire

Back out knocking doors in Torrance this afternoon, we’ve now knocked every single door in the village for the second time. I’m listening and getting stuff done. Only the Liberal Democrats can beat the SNP in Strathkelvin and Bearsden in May. 🔶

Some absolutely brilliant chats in Kirkintilloch this evening! The great vibes are keeping me going through the cold and rain. Back out again tomorrow! #kirkintilloch #libdems

Been out speaking to people across Bishopbriggs and Kirkintilloch recently. There’s a real appetite for change and people know that on 7th May, only the Lib Dems can beat the SNP locally. If you want change, this is how we make it happen. #eastdunbartonshire #libdems

I grew up in Strathkelvin & Bearsden. Now I’m raising my family here. After knocking thousands of doors, I know this community wants stronger local representation. If we want to beat the SNP here, only the Liberal Democrats can do it. Both votes Lib Dem in May.

In many constituencies across Scotland, we are on the verge of winning against the SNP. But wherever you are, every vote for the Scottish Liberal Democrats on the second peach ballot will deliver change with fairness at its heart.

Feeling the cost of living squeeze in Strathkelvin & Bearsden? You’re not alone. I’m Adam Harley, Lib Dem candidate and local parent, and I know how tough life is getting. I’ll fight to make life easier and more affordable. Only Lib Dems can beat the SNP here. ✅ Vote Lib Dem, both votes, 7th May

I’m concerned by East Dunbartonshire council’s decision to remove school crossing patrols outside some primary schools. Traffic lights alone aren’t enough. I’ve launched a petition to reverse this and keep children safe. Sign & share 👇 👉 www.edlibdems.org.uk/crossingpatr...

Young people lost freedom, opportunity and experience because of Brexit. Re-joining Erasmus matters — but it’s only a start. That’s why Lib Dem MPs backed re-joining the Customs Union: supporting jobs, businesses and cooperation over isolation. #Erasmus #LibDems #politics

Good afternoon on the doors in Bishopbriggs, and great to have @alex.scotlibdems.org.uk join us! We heard from so many people ready to vote Lib Dem for the first time because they feel let down by the other parties. I’ll keep meeting people face-to-face, and earning that trust.

Out on Holyknowe Road in Lennoxtown tonight speaking to former Labour and SNP voters who are fed up and want something different. They know that a Lib Dem vote here means a local candidate who’s ready to serve this community. #lennoxtown #strathkelvinandbearsden #eastdunbartonshire #libdems

Six months until Scotland chooses a new direction. Strathkelvin & Bearsden deserves competence and service. I’m standing to fix GP waits, soaring bills and failing services, and get Scotland back on track. #eastdunbartonshire #scottishpolitics #libdems

Door-knocking in #Lennoxtown this afternoon. People told me the same thing again and again: it doesn’t feel fair anymore. They’re right — the system isn’t working for ordinary families. I’m in this race to change that and to fight for a fairer deal for everyone here. #libdems #holyrood

Cold day on the doors in Bishopbriggs, but strong conversations with people who want a fresh start locally. Great to have @willierennie.bsky.social alongside me. Plenty more to come! #Bishopbriggs #Holyrood #LibDems @libdems.org.uk @scotlibdems.org.uk

Absolutely stunning scenes!!!!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🎉🎉🎉

I attended the protest outside of Rockstar North in Edinburgh this evening to stand in solidarity with the more than 30 workers across the UK, including a number of my constituents who have been sacked.

The Conservatives and Reform are in a race to the right. Labour have wasted a huge opportunity on policies like the family farm tax and their jobs tax on businesses. Meanwhile Liberal Democrats are winning again, with more councillors, a record number of MPs and more to come.

Great to be out knocking on doors in my home town of Bishopbriggs today. Lots of honest chats about the NHS, local schools and trust in politics. I can’t promise I’ll fix everything — but I can promise to listen, work hard, and do this for the right reasons. 🔶 #Bishopbriggs

Great to be out speaking to residents in Fellsview Avenue in Kirkintilloch this evening! 🔶 #libdems #kirkintilloch

Lots of good doorstep conversations on Meiklehill Road in Kirkintilloch today. Thanks to everyone who took the time to chat! 🚪🔶

Thank you Susan Murray @scotlibdems.org.uk MP for visiting our stand and signing our pledge to make lung health a priority in Scotland. In the evening we also met @adamharley.bsky.social who is standing in Strathkelvin & Bearsden covering a similar geographic area #sldconf
