My Pledges to you in Dumfriesshire Clydesdale and Tweeddale

Ø Fairness coming out of recession

I will fight to protect frontline services with Labour colleagues at this critical time.

Ø Jobs for the future

I will work with businesses and unions to develop skills and will promote green jobs           and co-ops.

Ø A ‘living’ minimum wage and support for pensioners

I will argue for a ‘living’ minimum wage and equal pay while supporting pensioners and those in need.

Ø Tackling climate change and poverty

I will strive for fair and just solutions in this country and abroad. I promote Fairtrade.

Ø Listening to young people

You are our country’s future. I will respect and fight for you.
