Alex Cole-Hamilton has announced the Scottish Liberal Democrats new spokesperson team, declaring that they are “ready to roll up their sleeves and get things done”.

And the party’s social media gurus clearly had the World Cup in mind when they did their comms on this:

The spokesperson line-up will be as follows:

• Andrew Baxter – Rural Affairs

• Yi-pei Chou Turvey – Justice

• Sanne Dijkstra-Downie – Climate, Environment & Energy

• Duncan Dunlop – Education, Children & Young People

• David Green – Public Service Reform, Europe, External Affairs & Culture

• Adam Harley – Health & Care

• Morven-May MacCallum – Housing, Social Security & Local Government

• Liam McArthur – Economy, Finance & Tourism

• Willie Rennie – Chief Whip & Transport

Alongside his duties as leader, Alex will take on the equalities brief.

Alex said:

I am delighted to be leading a party with so much fresh talent and so many more MSPs. They are ready to roll up their sleeves and get things done.

They are bringing with them to Parliament experience and expertise from right across the country, from running a post office to working with kids let down by the care system.

In this new Parliament we’ve got a responsibility to use our bigger influence with care. The government doesn’t hold all the cards.

I believe Scotland’s best days are ahead but we won’t bring that better world into existence just by complaining from the sidelines. We will work bill by bill and vote by vote to deliver change on the issues that matter to people across the country every day, from the NHS to the cost of living.

Scottish Liberal Democrats have so much to offer the people of Scotland.
