Commenting on his selection, Simon said:
"Labour's support is on the slide with ineffective national leadership from Gordon Brown..."
"Meanwhile Inverclyde's Labour-Tory run council is failing to deliver on key services since taking office."
"I look forward to challenging David Cairns on his voting record - supporting the Iraq War, Post Office closures and wasting billions on renewing Trident."
"Inverclyde needs a hard working local MP who will stand up for people."
