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.

Shetland News is asking its many readers to consider start paying for their dose of the latest local news delivered straight to their PC, tablet or mobile phone.
Journalism comes at a price and because that price is not being paid in today’s rapidly changing media world, most publishers - national and local - struggle financially despite very healthy audience figures.
Most online publishers have started charging for access to their websites, others have chosen a different route. Shetland News currently has over 600 supporters who are all making small voluntary financial contributions. All funds go towards covering our cost and improving the service further.
Your contribution will ensure Shetland News can: -
- Bring you the headlines as they happen;
- Stay editorially independent;
- Give a voice to the community;
- Grow site traffic further;
- Research and publish more in-depth news, including more Shetland Lives features.
If you appreciate what we do and feel strongly about impartial local journalism, then please become a supporter of Shetland News by either making a single payment or monthly subscription.
