Packed Portobello Town Hall campaign event this evening with Tommy Sheppard MP and Val McDermid.

Powerful speech from Tommy on how Westminster’s values are not Scotland’s values.

The SNP MPs like Tommy will always stand up for Scotland and a better, fairer future with independence.

Brilliant campaign event with Humza Yousaf and the wonderful Val McDermid at a packed Portobello Town Hall The SNP

Residents are worried & rightly angry about the impact of these eye-watering rises.
I’m demanding action from UK Ministers. They’ve been asleep at the wheel while residents are suffering, they need to fix this now.

I’m voting against the hideous Rwanda legislation (again).
This is a clear attempt by the UK Government to weaponise immigration & whip up prejudice.
An expensive gimmick that won’t work & won’t deliver the safe routes people need who are seeing sanctuary.

Today I’ve written again to the UKGov to stress the urgency of action required on district heating bills.
Residents face a 500% increase in bills if no action is taken. Around 500,000 households are affected across the UK.

Here we go. Fabulous sunshine as crowds assemble in Kelvin Way for today’s Believe in Scotland march and rally for independence Edinburgh Eastern SNP The SNP

Residents getting their heat from district heating systems are currently not covered by the energy price cap. Some bills have just went up 500%!
I’m standing with affected constituents & pressing the UK Government for immediate action.

🚨135 MPs and Lords have signed a letter urging the UK government to suspend arms sales to Israel.

The letter notes that UK-made weaponry was likely used by Israel to bomb British doctors in Gaza.

The UK Government must stop arming Israel and end its complicity with war crimes. Pleased to add my name to this important cross-party letter.

Fab new initiative at The Ripple - the Refillery. Everyday essentials like pasta, toilet roll, tatties and much, much more, all at fair prices - exactly what's needed in this cost-of-living crisis. Great to cut the opening ribbon!
