It has been a privilege representing the city I love and it would be an honour to keep doing so as part of a @ScottishLabour Government led by @AnasSarwar. I am applying to be a @ScottishLabour candidate for the twinned seats of Edinburgh Northern and Edinburgh South Western. 🌹
🏘️ Positive steps for Wester Hailes! Great to see @Edinburgh_CC delivering real progress in Wester Hailes. 73 new net-zero affordable homes will bring much-needed housing, jobs & green space to the area👏🏽
We're building 73 net-zero carbon homes in Wester Hailes as part of our work to transform the area 🏠 The development will offer a mix of one, two and three-bedroom flats - all affordable housing, with five properties designed to be wheelchair accessible.
The UK says it condemns Israel’s actions, yet continues to approve arms exports and offer diplomatic cover. You can’t condemn atrocities while enabling them. Real accountability means action, not just words.
We welcome the statement by the U.K. and 25 international partners calling for an immediate end to Israel’s aggression on Gaza. The time for “strongly worded statements” has long passed. Israel will not stop this genocide unless compelled. And it will only be compelled when met…

Honoured to speak at VJ Day 80 at Edinburgh Gurdwara. Remembering the Forgotten Army of South Asia - 2.5M soldiers from Bangladesh, India & Pakistan who served in WWII. Their sacrifices for our safety & future must never be forgotten. #VJDay80 #ForgottenArmy #HonourAndRemember
The Scottish defence industry is vital to our national security and creating opportunities for our young people to learn skills, fulfill their aspirations. The UK @UKLabour Government is making the right investments to make that happen while the SNP flounder and flop.
A £250m investment in Faslane. That’s Scotland’s Defence Dividend in action. Spoke to @BBCRadioScot this morning about the jobs and industrial opportunity for Scotland from Labour’s increased defence spending.
By the next General Election, 16 and 17 year olds will have the right to vote - ensuring young peoples' voices are heard. Labour promised it. Labour will deliver it.
1 in 6 Scots on an NHS waiting list or @AnasSarwar - the former NHS dentist who will do whatever it takes to drive down waiting lists. Your choice next year.
Billions of taxpayer's money down the drain under the SNP. Scots deserve better.
One in six Scots are on an NHS waiting list. The priority must be bringing down waits and fixing our NHS.
The first task of @AnasSarwar's Scottish Labour government will be to fix our NHS.
Delighted to see Edinburgh Community Solar Co-operative highlighted as a model of what's possible when we put power in the hands of local people. 🔗 Read the full report: party.coop/community/power
