The claim that "my constituents are looking to the UK Government for help" is a standard parliamentary formulation made by Brian Leishman MP (Labour, Alloa and Grangemouth) regarding the Coalsnaughton evacuation crisis. Its core factual assertions are supported by the evidence: 1. **The evacuation and crisis are real and well-documented.** 97 homes were evacuated across four streets in Coalsnaughton (Benbuck View, Dunmoss View, Nechtan Drive, and Langour), affecting 256+ residents. The Mining Remediation Authority (MRA) confirmed an eight-week investigation timeline. 2. **Constituents are actively seeking help.** Brian Leishman himself wrote in the Alloa Advertiser: "my office continues to receive pleas for help regarding a whole host of issues," and "My office is in contact with affected people every day." This confirms constituents are reaching out for assistance. 3. **The MP is their channel to the UK Government.** As the Labour MP for Alloa and Grangemouth, Leishman is the constituents' representative in the UK Parliament. By contacting his office with pleas for help, constituents are looking to their UK parliamentary representative — and through him, to the UK Government — for assistance. Leishman raised this directly at PMQs on June 3, 2026, asking the Prime Minister to commit to working with the Scottish Government and Clackmannanshire Council. 4. **The UK Government subsequently engaged.** On June 10, 2026, the UK Government joined Coalsnaughton crisis talks for the first time, with Clackmannanshire Council's leader welcoming "the positive engagement from the UK Government." 5. **Other officials also sought UK Government involvement.** Keith Brown MSP wrote to UK Energy Minister Michael Shanks asking him to visit the village, and Scottish Justice Secretary Neil Gray wrote to UK Energy Secretary Ed Miliband urging swift MRA investigation. While constituents may also be seeking help from other levels of government (Scottish Government, local council), the claim does not assert exclusivity — it simply says they are looking to the UK Government, which is accurate given they are contacting their MP and he is raising it with the UK Government at PMQs.
