Allan Lyons Launches Reform UK Campaign for Rutherglen

<p>Allan Lyons has launched his campaign to become the Reform UK Member of the Scottish Parliament for Rutherglen, pledging to deliver genuine change for the communities of Rutherglen, Cambuslang, and the surrounding area. Allan says that Rutherglen, which made national headlines during the 2023 Westminster by-election, has demonstrated its willingness to look beyond the established parties — and that Reform UK is ready to build on that appetite for change. 'The people of Rutherglen sent a clear message in 2023 that they are not willing to accept the status quo,' said Allan. 'Reform UK is the party that is genuinely offering something different — lower taxes, a properly funded NHS, safe communities, and an economy that works for everyone.' Allan's campaign priorities include cutting NHS Lanarkshire waiting times, tackling anti-social behaviour, investing in Rutherglen town centre, and delivering relief from the cost of living crisis for households across the constituency. He will be spending the months ahead engaging with residents across Rutherglen, Cambuslang, and Blantyre, listening to their concerns and building a campaign that reflects the genuine priorities of local people. 'This is one of Scotland's most historic burghs and it deserves the very best representation. I intend to provide it,' he added.</p>
