Police make a plea to locate a man who went missing in Kilmaurs.

Police have launched an appeal to try and trace a man missing from Prestwick.

Jordan Hopkins, 31, was last seen in the Ayr area around 1.45am this morning (Tuesday). Jordan is described as being around 5ft 10in tall, with brown hair and a beard. He was last seen wearing a bright blue and yellow hoodie, a grey jacket and a dark hat. He is known to frequent the Irvine, Kilmarnock and Kilmaurs areas.

Sergeant Steven Presslie said: “Our enquiries our ongoing to trace Jordan and we are appealing to anyone who may have seen him to come forward.

“Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to contact police on 101 quoting 0724 of 30 January, 2024.”

Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar suggested that more teachers should be hired and hunger alleviation should be the priorities for the money raised by imposing a value-added tax on private school tuition.

A £150 million increase for state schools to use for breakfast clubs and additional teachers has been pledged by Anas Sarwar.

The money, according to the Scottish Labour Leader, will come from the Keir Starmer Government raising the VAT on private school tuition.

Last week, Starmer revealed his intentions to raise £7.3 billion from targeted tax increases, which would include £1.5 billion from independent schools.

A major component of Scottish Labour’s manifesto, which will be unveiled today, will centre on how Holyrood will be allocated the money from cutting tax breaks for affluent schools.
