Fighting Poverty in the Western Isles


The Western Isles council SNP group extended an invitation to Councillor Angus McCormack in his role as Chair of the Western isles Poverty Action Group to hear the work Angus Brendan Macneil MP has been doing to address the island’s poverty issues and to support our future campaign.
 
Despite campaigning against Scotland having powers over welfare and just recently championing austerity through his support for London Labour and in December voting against the SNP's Living Wage amendment to council, Mr McCormack has been invited in his role as Chair of the local Poverty Action Group to join  the SNP’s campaign fighting poverty.

 A spokesman for the group said,”It is never too late to work together to right these wrongs. Our group is able to meet regularly with both MP and MSP because we arrange meetings around the availability of our parliamentarians.  We are happy to undertake to inform you of our next such meeting and will be pleased to extend you an invitation.”
