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



Honoured to be selected as the Scottish Conservatives candidate for the Edinburgh North Western Constituency. The constituency has a special place in my heart and I am looking forward to the campaign!


We’re proud to be hosting an exhibition at #Holyrood, shining a spotlight on the experiences of people living with the late effects of #polio and post-polio syndrome (#PPS). MSP Jeremy Balfour sponsored us to be here and we're very grateful Jeremy Balfour MSP



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.


This #NationalEpilepsyWeek, Epilepsy Scotland are running a campaign to raise awareness of Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy- SUDEP. I have lodged a @scotparl motion noting the campaign, and the need for greater awareness, research and open discussion👇

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…


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. Independent Schools Council


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



Congratulations to Pam Duncan-Glancy MSP very well deserved.

Really difficult situation for Sight Scotland and devastating for the residents of Linburn Estate. Scotland's Third Sector is crumbling as the Scottish Government refuses to step in. We need action. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
