I voted against the Education Bill because it fails to deliver real change. Thousands of pupils finish school this week — will they look back and say this made a difference? When they have kids of their own, will they remember this Bill shaping their future?

⚠️Customer Information⚠️ Services 106, 113, 124, 140 & 141 - To allow an event to take place, several roads in Musselburgh will be closed between approximately 1845 hrs and 2030 hrs on Friday 25th July. Further information can be found on our website tinyurl.com/5hc4nr4b

I support the immediate recognition of the state of Palestine. But that in itself will not end the war. The mass starvation, indiscriminate killing and illegal occupation must end now.

Thanks to everyone in Portobello who took the time to speak to us tonight. Lots of conversations about local and national issues. Many people realising that Scotland needs a #newdirection and the SNP are out of ideas!

Congratulations to Rachel Reeves and Darren Jones for announcing the £500 million social impact fund which will help transform children and youth services in the coming years and into which social investors may add an additional £500 million.

⚠️ Ongoing water supply interruption across parts of Musselburgh. Follow the link below for information and updates from scottish water. The next update is expected at 23:00 (11/07).

Happy birthday to our NHS 🥳 For 77 years its staff have looked after us all 👏

Not Councillor related, but I am pleased to say that I have achieved a Bachelor of Engineering with Honours (2:1) in Cybersecurity and Forensics! :)

Households are reminded that the deadline to register for a 2025/2026 garden waste permit is next Friday (4 July) at 3pm. Applications can be made using a myeastlothian account on the council’s website with a permit costing £35. There will be no second sign-up window this year.

The global race towards clean power is on and Scotland should be at the forefront of it. Scottish Labour will end the SNP's ideological block on clean nuclear energy and bring jobs and investment to Scotland. heraldscotland.com/news/25258176.…

Sarah has been a tremendous figure in the Scottish Labour movement and a hardworking and dedicated MSP, I have enjoyed working alongside her on Musselburgh related matters. Will certainly be missed in the scottish parliament, but I wish her all the best 🌹

9years ago today Jo was murdered. I think about her every single day and am lucky to have so many wonderful memories, but the pain never goes. Whatever our views we must never normalise abuse, threats, intimidation and political violence #JoCox #Sisters #MoreInCommon

It was fantastic to have these pupils along at the Education and Children's Services Committee to present a report on school uniform guidance. I applaud the work they put into forming the guidance and their presentation and taking and answering questions.

Down at the Roman and Rennie Bridges looking good with the spans lit up

Tory austerity is well and truly behind us. This is the difference a Labour government makes.

It’s the honour of my life be elected to represent the community I love and call home. My promise to my new constituents is that I will work tirelessly to be a local champion for you.

A big thank you to all of the students and @scotsyounglab members who came out canvassing across Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse for @DavyRussell4HLS! Your hard work is part of the reason we’ve been able to return the first Labour MSP for the constituency in 14 years 🌹🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
