Letters / Thanks for your support

I would like to thank those who voted for me and those who supported me in last week’s election. Campaigning this year was not straightforward and much of our work was done through press releases and social media.

I would also like to thank the Shetland Islands Council staff for the efficient and well-run counting procedures, both for postal votes and on the day.

As you may know, I was not able to come to Shetland personally for the campaign but will do so when I can.

The Labour Party will continue to focus on a national recovery post-Covid and concentrate on getting the country back on a steadier economic path, with a robust National Health Service and education service in place.

Martin Kerr
Scottish Labour Party
