Adult Disability Payment was never intended to be an income replacement benefit. It helps disabled people to get into (and stay in) work. Cutting ADP will not encourage people into employment, it will force disabled people out of it.

We are introducing a bill to Parliament that will make it a criminal offence to damage a war memorial. These memorials serve as a constant reminder of the sacrifices made by our armed forces. Meghan Gallacher MSP

Great to welcome young people to the @scotparl last week who were showing off construction skills like tiling and stonemasonry. We need traditional construction for the upkeep of our historical buildings, and governments must help young people to pursue these valuable careers.

Edinburgh's community mental health services are facing devastating cuts, threatening support for over 4,000 people. These services are lifelines so please sign and share the petition before the June 17 vote: change.org/p/stop-mental-…

Too much money is paid by The City of Edinburgh Council for poor standard of temporary accommodation. The Scottish Government needs to put aside the warm words and look to creative alternatives to ensure that these homes are at a high standard.

The left-wing Holyrood parties today staged an ‘urgent’ debate about parliament’s toilets 🚽. What an utter waste of time. 👇

Stories like these really drive home how devastating the proposed cuts to organisations like CAPS by the IJB will be to vulnerable people across the Lothians. The City of Edinburgh Council and NHS Lothian must find a way to fund these vital services. edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/this-char…

It's time to fix the bottleneck at Sheriffhall. For too long, the SNP have refused to make vital changes.. It is time to take action! Support the campaign for a long-overdue upgrade to this vital junction 👇 edinburghconservatives.org.uk/campaigns/its-…

Children who are in hospital for extended periods and their families are already going through the hardest of times. They shouldn't have to worry about paying to ensure that their educations doesn't fall further behind. The City of Edinburgh Council and Scottish Government must reconsider.

It is unacceptable that the Scottish Government is dragging their heels on dangerous cladding. The Minister needs to get a grip, instead of refusing to answer questions in the chamber.

Pleased to have my amendment passed Scottish Parliament yesterday at Stage 3 of the Social Care bill. It is important to make the process as simple as possible for carers to access the full amount that they are entitled to. Carers Trust Carers Scotland VOCAL Edinburgh

John Swinney wastes YOUR money on an industrial scale. But rather than learn from the reckless SNP, Labour have decided to copy them. 👇
