Labour (Co-op) — Lothian East

Speaking in the House of Commons on 14 January 2026

Debate

Cost of Living

Contribution

I think 19th-century nationalism is a bad prescription for Scotland, and it is also a bad prescription for Wales. We are proud of the fact that we are increasing public investment not just in rail, as we have heard today from the Transport Secretary, but more broadly across public services in every part of these islands.
