V exciting to do the Backbench Podcast w Edinburgh Uni students today! Bloody tough questions but great discussion about role of an MP, what the gvt is doing for the young, and international politics.

There are more homeless children in Edinburgh than the whole of Wales, acc to Shelter Scotland I raised this appalling legacy of 18yrs of the SNP with the PM today. We need action to tackle Edinburgh’s housing emergency.

I am increasingly dismayed by Israel’s actions, compounded by their outrageous behaviour towards two Labour MPs this weekend. I am proud to stand with my friends Yuan and Abitsam. Today I again raised my constituents’ concerns in parliament, and will keep doing so.

Be like Betty and vote Davy Russell - Scottish Labour on June 5th!

The SNP deserve to lose in Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse. Only Davy Russell can beat them.

We’ve spent the day in Hamilton canvassing for our excellent Scottish Labour candidate Davy Russell 🌹 Vote on the 5th June for a local champion

10 minutes in and it’s already clear that the SNP simply won’t take accountability for their 2 decades of failure - Scotland needs a new direction 🌹

Tune into Jackie Baillie on BBC Debate Night 👇

So you email your MP. What happens next?

Lovely to welcome Davy Russell MSP MSP, our new colleague, to the Scottish Parliament today. He will be an outstanding champion for his community and I can't wait to start working with him.

Truly phenomenal decision. They say data is the new oil, and Edinburgh is at the cutting edge of innovation. But this massive decision, that we’ll be home to the UK’s supercomputer, will turbo-charge for innovation and growth. Brilliant for Edinburgh, brilliant for Scotland.

Oh lord, get a grip Angus Robertson! Edinburgh Labour MPs have worked our socks off to secure this for Edinburgh (while you’ve… done a few tweets?) I get The SNP think politics is all performative, but it’s actually about delivering for communities. So let’s celebrate… (1/2)

…this massive investment in Scotland’s capital rather than trying to manufacture grievance for once? Thanks to Edinburgh having a voice at the heart of Government, we’ve been able to unlock massive investment in our city. Something to welcome!

This is excellent news for Edinburgh university thanks to all the hard work that went on behind the scenes by Chris Murray MP , Ian Murray MP, Dr Scott Arthur MP (Edinburgh South West) 🌍🌈🌹 and Tracy Gilbert MP!

This Labour government is committed to devolution. Over the next 3 yrs, it will provide an extra £9.1BN for Scottish public services - the biggest settlement since devolution began. The SNP must now step up and invest in our NHS, police, housing & schools. No excuses.

Since I was elected, Sarah has supported me like a big sister — always kind, wise, and generous with her time. A true team player who’ll be deeply missed when she steps down. Wishing her all the very best for the future. #ThankYouSarah #ScottishLabour #Holyrood2026

Great to be on #bbcpoliticslive today for a lively (!) debate about a range of issues, including children’s mental health… (1/4)

STATEMENT A few words and reflections from me:

Ian held the Scottish Labour Party together, quite literally single-handedly. He is a titan of Scottish politics, with lots more still to contribute. Every Scottish Labour MP owes their seat (and much else besides) to Ian.

From everyone at Scottish Labour: a restful and enjoyable Christmas to you and yours 🎄🎁
