Why I’m Standing

My name is Daniel Coleman, and I am proud to be standing as your Scottish Labour candidate for Midlothian South, Tweeddale and Lauderdale. This is one of Scotland’s most dynamic constituencies, with fast-growing towns and strong rural communities, but it has been underinvested in for too long. All too often I hear from people waiting months to see a GP or dentist, years for surgery, resulting in privatisation by the back door, inadequate public transport, roads full of pot-holes, all at a time when there is a cost of living crisis in Scotland.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

Scottish Labour has a plan to fix Scotland’s economy, create well-paid jobs and invest in our NHS and public services. I want to know what you think the priorities should be for Midlothian South, Tweeddale and Lauderdale. Please get in touch or fill out the survey at survey.labour.org.uk/mstl.
