@larabirdsnp, your constituents in Arbroath and Broughty Ferry didn’t send you to Westminster to play international activist and get detained at a border for eight hours while virtue-signalling about olive harvests in the West Bank; they sent you to represent them. Instead, the SNP’s entire project has become performative foreign policy and grievance politics while Scotland collapses under your party’s watch. Scotland recorded 1,133 drug deaths in 2025; an 11% rise and still by far the worst rate in Europe (277 per million among 15–64-year-olds). That’s more than 11,000 deaths in a decade. The most deprived areas suffer 15 times the rate of the least deprived. Dundee City, which covers part of your own constituency, continues to record among the highest local rates in Scotland. Your party’s “national mission” has failed catastrophically, yet here you are grandstanding about Palestinians instead of the Scots dying on the streets of Dundee and Arbroath. The SNP government has run health and social care into the ground for nearly two decades. Education has also flatlined at historically poor levels in Scotland under the SNP. Meanwhile Arbroath’s high street is full of empty units, food bank use has risen across Dundee and Angus, youth antisocial behaviour and crime have spiked in Broughty Ferry, and the cost-of-living crisis has hit hard here due to the long decline of traditional employment in fishing, engineering and manufacturing. These are the actual problems people raised in your own constituency. The SNP has governed Scotland since 2007. The structural deficit, record drug deaths, stagnant or declining public services, and eroded educational standards are the results. Flying to the Middle East for photo-op solidarity while ignoring the drug epidemic, the NHS waiting lists, and the unemployment at home is not solidarity - it is contempt for the people who pay your salary. Get back to Arbroath and Broughty Ferry and do the job you were elected to do.
