I'm Lynn Thomson, your Labour candidate for Aberdeen North at the next General Election.

Full statement

I've lived in Aberdeen for 40 years and as well as being a city councillor, I'm an NHS manager. With my life and work experience, I'm well-placed to be a strong voice for Aberdeen North at Westminster.



Having worked in the NHS for almost 30 years, I've seen first hand how our public services are struggling. I believe that Labour must lead communities in campaigning against cuts and closures. We must set a new agenda and put forward a vision for a UK that is forward-looking, outward-looking and puts people first. I believe I have the energy and enthusiasm, the understanding of policy and the campaigning approach to make me an effective representative at Westminster for all the people of Aberdeen North.



The UK deserves better than the constitutional nitpicking of the SNP and the disastrous economic policies of the Conservatives. Labour must present them both with a robust challenge at the next General Election. I would relish the opportunity to take on that challenge and to be part of the change that both Scotland and the wider UK need.



It would be an honour if you were to lend me your vote.
