Visited Prof Sir Geoff Palmer KT (Sir Geoff Palmer) at Marie Curie today. He sends thanks to all who have wished him well and prayed for him. Sir Geoff has always been at the heart of equity. It was hard to see him unwell, but thanks to Marie Curie for their excellent care.

Last week, my constituents raised concerns about public safety following sexual assaults in Edinburgh's parks. Today at #TopicalQuestions, I asked the Scottish Government how it is working to prevent such attacks through our built environment. #PublicSafety #SafeCommunities

I was inspired by young leaders from 30+ schools at the 'Protect Our Future' demonstration, where their 6,000-message chain demanded we meet our climate promises.🌎 It remains our responsibility to equip our youth with the knowledge and skills to protect our environment.

Had an inspiring meeting with Cutting Edge Theatre this weekend 🎭 Since 1995, they have empowered communities, cherishing every moment of joy & laughter. Their passion for creativity & storytelling is truly remarkable. Can't wait to see what exciting projects they do next!

In England & Wales, Proton Beam Therapy is being used to improve cognitive outcomes for people with primary brain tumours. But in Scotland, patients cannot participate due to a lack of funding. What is the Scottish Government doing to ensure access to cutting-edge treatment?

Today I stood with MSP colleagues to support Our Seas and healthy, sustainable seas. Creel fisherman Hayden McKenzie from Skye joined us to highlight the importance of protecting marine life and coastal livelihoods. Let’s keep our oceans thriving. 🌊💙 #OurSeas

It was a pleasure to have the North Bangla Press Club, Scunthorpe United Football Club, and their director Roj Rahman with us. We had a great afternoon reflecting on the importance of representation, the power of sport, and the role of education in driving positive change.

Had a great visit to Carewise Pharmacy and a meaningful chat with Nuhan. 💬 They’re raising the bar in Edinburgh, offering not just meds, but personalised care, wellness support, and real community impact. Carewise isn’t just a pharmacy, it’s a team that truly cares. 💙

At #FMQs on 19 June, I asked First Minister John Swinney about the legacy of Professor Sir Geoff Palmer KT, a dear friend & tireless human rights advocate. His loss is profound. Scotland must honour his legacy by striving for a more just, equal & prejudice-free society. #Equality

It has been a privilege representing the city I love and it would be an honour to keep doing so as part of a Scottish Labour Government led by Anas Sarwar. I am applying to be a Scottish Labour candidate for the twinned seats of Edinburgh Northern and Edinburgh South Western. 🌹

Reading the Edinburgh Reporter tribute to Professor Sir Geoff Palmer reminded me just how much he shaped conversations in Scotland around race, history, and justice. 📰 Read the full article in the July edition of The Edinburgh Reporter.

Foysol is a fantastic MSP who works extremely hard for his constituents and underserved communities across Scotland. It’s brilliant that Foysol is standing to be part of Scottish Labour’s team for 2026.
