Marion Fellows is MP for Motherwell and Wishaw

Battled on and off rain while canvassing in North Motherwell today!

Thank you to those who came out to help!

#ActiveSNP #VoteSNP #ScottishIndependence

Amazing work everyone !!!

The long wait for justice for WASPI women shows the same pattern of government failure we have seen with Windrush or the Post Office scandal.

To WASPI women: I and my SNP colleagues unequivocally stand with you and will continue to raise this in parliament at every opportunity.

It is absolutely disgraceful that Westminster is saying to Scottish postmasters they can’t get justice at the same time as their English, Welsh & Northern Irish counterparts.

This is a Westminster problem. Westminster must & should sort it.

Here’s a 🧵on what I said last night

Alan Bates & his tenacity of bringing the Post Office scandal to light has been truly inspirational. He represents the hardworking, community orientated people that run Post Offices across the country.

His honesty & integrity are in stark contrast to those of Post Office Limited

For as long as Scotland remains under Westminster control, our NHS is under threat.

Labour are no longer hiding their desire to privatise the NHS. They have made it abundantly clear: a vote for Labour is a vote for NHS privatisation.

⬇️Important read

🗣️🗣️“Motherwell and Wishaw MP has called for the WASPI women to be given full compensation and has demanded that the UK Government act immediately”

While Labour refuse to commit to compensation despite years of saying otherwise, the SNP will continue to stand with #WASPI women.

Grateful for the First Minister's comments and he is spot on - had it not been for @theSNP, there are so many issues which would have gone unchallenged.

Westminster's two main political parties in Tory and Labour simply do not represent Scotland's interests or values.

My urgent question yesterday: What steps are being taken to restore public confidence in the Post Office board and governance following the serious revelations at the Business & Trade select committee?

After the inadequate response I received, here’s what I said. Please watch⬇️

What a farce.

If it wasn’t obvious before why we need an independent Scotland, last night made it crystal clear.

The UK Parliament had the opportunity to do the right thing, instead self-serving Westminster reminded us how utterly broken it is.

What I said ⬇️

#Independence

Waiting patiently on @theSNP Motion Gaza debate. Labour stalling proceedings with Points of Order and now a manufactured vote on a 10 Minute Rule Bill. I'll sit here day and night if I have to. SNP Opp Day Debate must NOT be obstructed. #CeasefireNOW

Another Monday, another Post Office scandal. I had a few questions for the Secretary of State today. Here's two of them:

1⃣Did Nick Read write to the Justice Secretary defending convictions?
2⃣Why have so many subpostmasters been given derisory compensation offers?

Watch below

Whatever next,? Labour lying?

The violence must end. Next week I will be voting for an immediate ceasefire.

Great to be out and about in North Motherwell. Chapping doors is where it's at. #ActiveSNP

Salman Aslam is a young man who ran a Post Office in Motherwell for 5 years before walking away a year ago. Sal’s relentless five-year battle with POL over major discrepancies destroyed his life.

Today I led a debate on POL's appalling management culture. Watch part of my speech

Fruit & veg imports to become more expensive over last-minute Brexit rule

Brexit has been a disaster. Yet both the Labour & Tories are quiet on its impact. Only @theSNP are offering Scotland a route back into the EU & the world's largest single market.

📍Spot on yet again @PGibsonSNP

Here are two facts:

1⃣No UK Government has delivered a balanced budget since 2000-2001
2⃣The majority of people in Scotland pay less tax than they would if they lived in England

Watch this exchange ⬇️

After yesterday’s committee meeting, I have written the below letter to Paul Patterson, Director at Fujitsu.

I am urging Fujitsu to provide an initial contribution towards financial redress for victims, a minimum of at least £10m before the end of this calendar month.

⬇️

The print version of the story below.⬇️

I am appealing to subpostmasters & anyone that has been affected by the #HorizonScandal to come forward.

Justice must be served.

(Please note there is a typo in the date I spoke in the House. It was December 19th not the 9th.)

I am absolutely floored at what I heard at the Business & Trade Committee.

It was admitted that: There was pre-2015 records that showed Horizon evidence was unsafe. The PO does not have full records of their suspense accounts. Claiming they are not aware of any NDAs.

Shocking.

People diagnosed with a terminal illness face a spike of 75% in energy costs – making an incredibly difficult situation that much harder.

Watch my question yesterday urging the Prime Minister to implement a social energy tariff for our most vulnerable. ⬇️

For years myself & @theSNP colleagues have been calling for an independent inquiry into the #HorizonScandal – the most widespread miscarriage of justice in British legal history.

I will do everything in my power to ensure those responsible are held to account. #Postofficescandal

Shortly before the holidays, I delivered a speech on the #PostOfficeScandal. Successive UK Govs have failed in their oversight, allowing the most widespread miscarriage of justice to continue for years.

While I encourage everyone to watch the full speech, here's a clip below 👇

The UK gov is removing DVLA services from the Post Office network that will impact millions of customers. This is unacceptable.

Tories have said post offices would be the ‘front office’ of gov in communities, yet this action is the opposite of that.

Always good to bump into the boss. Wonder where he's going? #independence. #BelieveinScotland

Lots of weel kent faces preparing for @believeinscot march today. #HappyBirthdayJungkook #believeinscotland

This is just bonkers! In the middle of a cost of living crisis? Who has asked for this? The Tories eh?

"Independence is always better than dependence"🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿#Budget2023

I asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how much more economic harm the Tories will inflict on Scotland, by forcing us through a disastrous Brexit, supported by the Labour Party. Independence is the only viable option in order to protect our economic interests.

Today, in a debate on Scottish Independence, I challenged the British Secretary of State for Scotland on his Government's rhetoric around "levelling-up funds" and behaving as if Scotland receives handouts from the UK. #IndyRef2

The Chancellor, Kwasi Kwarteng, has made an embarrassing U-turn on his & the PM's tax cut for the wealthy.

I'm sure we'll now see apologies from Douglas Ross, Stephen Kerr & all the other Scottish Tories who demanded we replicate this ridiculous, dangerous policy in Scotland…

Had to be corrected twice by the Deputy Speaker, not allowed to call the PM a liar or say he's not honest. #StandardsInPublicLife

Just been corrected twice by the Deputy Speaker. Not allowed to call the PM a liar or say he's not honest. I'll leave it there. #StandardsInPublicLife

148 votes of no confidence in the Prime Minister. 41% of his own party DON'T have confidence in him. Boris Johnson is now on borrowed time.

This is a tremendous win for the WASPI Women as the PHSO Ombudsman rules that they did suffer maladministration by the UK Government's Department for Work and Pensions. This is an extremely important step in securing justice.

Lovely night for leafleting for @AnumQaisarJaved 2 teams out in Newmains. Polling day tomorrow Thursday. #VoteSNP

Great to be out with this fab team to help elect @AnumQaisarJaved as the next MP for Airdrie&Shotts. #VoteSNP this Thursday

I'm #SNPbecause I want the best possible for my country &family - especially for my 4 wonderful granddaughters.I want them to live in a fairer & more equal independent country- without nuclear weapons where people who need a hand are treated with dignity & respect.

Back with my girls for the first time in more than 6 months! 😀🎉

My father was one of those armed forces. He was never the same because of what he witnessed. It is our duty must remember in order that it never happens again.

DWP Secretary confirms that no attempts were made to convince the Chancellor to even consider extending the £20 Universal Credit uplift to legacy benefits, depriving those people - 75% of whom are disabled - of vital support during COVID pandemic.

Today, I received my first injection of the COVID vaccine at the Wishaw Sports Centre. Thank you to the wonderful staff @NHSLanarkshire who are working hard to make the centre run smoothly and protect people from the virus.

Brexit has been a disaster for Scottish food and drink - especially the fishing sector and its workers. It is damaging the economy, jobs and the communities that rely on exports.

The UK Government cannot continue to stand by and allow Post Offices to be run into the ground through branch closures and mounting costs. Sub-Postmasters deserve justice with a statutory inquiry as promised by Boris Johnson, and the public subsidy must be increased.

I have written to Education Secretary John Swinney to ensure local pupils who have been denied a fair assessment of their ability due to the SQA’s flawed grading method have access to a robust and rigorous appeals process.

I really have no comment to make onDominic Cummings statement. I am literally lost for words. #DominicCummngs

Laughter from Tories on prospect of UK Gov forcing Scots back to work despite safety fears and risks to life. Ending Job Retention Scheme will undermine Scottish Parliament. This is a UK-scheme, so the UK Gov must commit to keeping it to save lives. #Covid19 #Covid19UK #PMQs

I'm glad that the UK Gov's Secretary of State has finally admitted that most Scottish tax payers pay less tax than others living elsewhere in the UK. The SNP Scot Gov is delivering a fairer tax system while still ensuring our public services - like our NHS - lead in the UK.

All Scottish MPs blocked from voting on matters which would affect our block grant due to #EVEL. Scottish people yet again being denied their say. With independence, can take control of all powers to build the country we want to live in and no longer be treated as second class.
