Thank you Steve, and to all the delegates, activists and members who continue to be the lifeblood of this Labour Government. I’m sad not to be alongside you all in Liverpool this year, but I’m with you in spirit - and will continue fighting for working people.

Unexpectedly watching Wes Streeting speech from hospital this morning with my baby - she’s fine now, thanks to the excellent care of NHS Drs and nurses. Always remember: Reform UK would privatise our NHS and deport half the wonderful people who work in it. #Lab25

It's great to have a Secretary of State for Transport (Heidi Alexander MP) who sees investing in public transport as a route to boosting economic growth. I wish the Scottish Government had the same level of ambition.

What a conference! Ready to take the fight to Reform and the SNP. Ready to deliver a new direction for Scotland in 2026.

Liverpool ain't that bad. ❤️

It was a really profound moment seeing David Lammy being sworn in as our first black Lord Chancellor this morning. He’s going to do a great job. 🌹

Thank you to Dr Scott Arthur MP (Edinburgh South West) 🌍🌈🌹 for meeting us at #LabourConference to talk about our work on cancer prevention, particularly relating to alcohol. We were also pleased to discuss the Rare Cancers Bill, which aims to drive research & investment into treatments for rare cancers

Tough viewing for the SNP - Wes Streeting exposes how they are letting down staff and patients. Scotland needs a new direction!

It was great to catch up with Dr Scott Arthur MP (Edinburgh South West) 🌍🌈🌹 at #LabourConference alongside Solving Kids' Cancer UK 🎗 to talk about the progress of the Rare Cancers Bill, and the importance of strategic alignment for children and young people with cancer in Scotland who travel across the UK for treatment.

The High Court says the firm must repay £122m, with interest, within two weeks. This marks the beginning of a reckoning — the Government will hold to account every Tory crony who sought to exploit the taxpayer instead of asking how they could serve the nation. What they did was

Does Nigel Farage still think today's £122 million of damages is not a "great scandal"? Labour is cracking down on Covid fraud so you get your money back. Reform doesn’t care. scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/news/scottish-…

Smart Phone Free Schools - I feel gutted for Pam Duncan-Glancy MSP She has worked so hard to improve learning and wellbeing in Scotland's schools, but all that work was blocked today by the SNP/Greens. Parents, teachers and clinicians across Scotland are crying out for decisive leadership

Justice has been the thread through my life - from Tottenham to SOAS, Harvard, the Bar, and 25 years in Parliament. Swearing the oath as Lord Chancellor today was the greatest honour of my life. itv.com/news/2025-10-0…

➡️ Police Scotland has confirmed the successful sale of Balerno police station, which will be redeveloped by Balerno Village Trust. scotland.police.uk/what-s-happeni…

Well done to Balerno's Finlay Menzies, he took a bronze medal in the men's 100m T72 final at the World Para Athletics Championships in New Delhi. I'm proud to say he beat me many times at Edinburgh Parkrun! bbc.co.uk/sport/articles…

Today and every day, I stand in solidarity and friendship with Edinburgh's Jewish community. Love will always conquer hate.

Access to public toilets isn't just about convenience, it's about equality. Older people, people with kids, women, and people with certain health conditions are all much more likely to need them. Other countries get this right, but it feels like things are getting worse in

It is deeply troubling and counterproductive to hear protesters forcefully breach police lines at Waverley Station last night, especially when resources may havebbeen urgently needed to safeguard our Jewish community. If laws were broken, I hope arrests will follow swiftly.

It was a pleasure to welcome Louise Sandher-Jones MP to Edinburgh South West today. Louise served as an Army Intelligence Officer, and is a veteran of the War in Afghanistan. She now holds the position of Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Veterans and People. She is

Pleased to confirm a second cohort of students from Gaza with scholarships at British universities arrived in the UK today to begin their studies. They could play a vital role as future leaders in postwar Gaza.
