O’KANE HOSTS GREAT GET TOGETHER EVENT AT SCOTTISH PARLIAMENT

Paul O’Kane has hosted a Great Get Together Event at the Scottish Parliament to promote keeping politics “civil and safe”.

The Labour MSP worked with the Jo Cox Foundation – a charity set up to honour’s the late Labour MP Jo Cox – to bring the event to Holyrood which was about honouring Cox’s famous message, “we are far more united and have far more in common than that which divides us.”

O’Kane was joined on the night by a group of MSPs and party leaders, including Deputy First Minister Kate Forbes, Scottish Deputy Leader Jackie Baillie, Scottish Conservative Deputy Leader Meghan Gallacher and Scottish Liberal Democrat Leader Alex Cole Hamilton.

Commenting Scottish Labour MSP Paul O’Kane said:

“It’s not often heard of for politicians to put differences aside during a general election but that’s exactly what we did at that event.

“Coming together during the build up to the election was an especially fitting tribute to Jo.

“It was opportunity to hear about the work of the Jo Cox Foundation, including the Jo Cox Civility Commission which has set out practical recommendations on we can tackle abuse and intimidation in politics.

“We got the chance to hear from some party leaders on Jo’s message and the importance of being able to come together despite our political differences.

“I’m really delighted to have hosted the Jo Cox Foundation’s Great Get Together because it’s so important that we keep our politics civil and safe, and we remember we have more in common.”
