It's time for change in Cowdenbeath & Kirkcaldy
People here are hurting badly after 14 years of the Tories and 17 years of the SNP.
Too many people in Cowdenbeath and Kirkcaldy, and right across Fife, can’t afford to switch the heating on over winter. Too many work hard, but struggle to pay the rent. Mortgage payments have rocketed.
Shockingly, some of the waiting times at The Vic are amongst the worst in Scotland. We’ve been let down - badly.
Only a vote for Scottish Labour can change this.
I’m standing to be our MP because we need change, and we need it now.

About Me
Growing up in Scotland under Thatcher, I watched my parents battle broken public services to get education and medical treatment for my brother, who has complex disabilities. When his condition worsened recently, I had to fight to get him social housing and a new care package. It’s a story I hear time and again. Families shouldn’t have to fight so hard for essential support. But our country is broken. To fix it, Labour needs to win - starting right here in Fife.
I believe that everyone matters. That’s why I joined the Labour Party more than twenty years ago. After leaving Stirling University, it’s what has shaped my working life as an anti-poverty campaigner and now Chief Executive of an international aid charity. I’ve worked in some of the toughest places in the world and I get difficult things done. I’ve faced down Presidents and Prime Ministers to get help to desperate people in war zones. This year, TIME magazine recognised me as one of the world’s top 100 most influential people working in health.
I fight really hard for the people I represent and I am absolutely determined to stand up for Cowdenbeath and Kirkcaldy. Let’s make sure we have a Labour government that will make change happen.
