We are already overcoming this perception – the reception that David Cameron got when he visited was fantastic. I have met people all over the constituency who will be voting Conservative for the first time in their lives, and the reason they are doing this is that they can see we are a force for positive, safe change.

Firstly, I am in it to win it. And secondly, I don’t believe in voting tactically, you should vote according to what you believe. And if you want a positive, safe change, then you’ll be voting Conservative.

Glasgow East is a wonderful community with tremendous spirit. However, we do have problems to contend with and Conservatives are seeking to provide the answers. We forced the SNP to pledge 1000 extra police officers, forced them to bring forward a cut in business rates for small businesses and forced them to implement a national drugs strategy focusing on recovery, not management. We want to provide the framework that allows society to flourish – hand in hand with community groups I will work tirelessly to ensure this is the case.
