Today in #PQs I pressed Scottish Government Ministers to work with me and other MSPs to protect community mental health services in Edinburgh. These cuts should be delayed until a new preventative service which protects vulnerable people is created. #PortfolioQuestions

☀️A lovely afternoon in Hamilton with Davy Russell for Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse speaking to local residents. 🗳️Only Scottish Labour can deliver a new direction for the people of Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse on 5 June.

What a week it's been across Lothian! From celebrating cultural festivals to supporting local sports and arts initiatives, I've been privileged to engage with our vibrant community. Here's a glimpse of what I have been up to in the last week 👇 #WorkingForYou #Lothian

At yesterday’s Citizen Participation and Public Petitions Committee debate, I spoke about the need to keep people at the heart of Parliament. From petitions to people’s panels, real voices must shape the decisions that impact us all. #CitizenParticipation #ScotParl

Proud to convene the Cross-Party Group on Bangladesh at Scottish Parliament yesterday. We discussed the impact of aid cuts on Rohingya camps in Cox’s Bazar and called for urgent action to protect those affected. Grateful to all who joined in solidarity. #CPGBangladesh

Last night at the Scottish Parliament, the CPG on Culture & Communities explored how culture acts as “social glue”, from libraries & museums to health, equity & belonging. Let’s build a cultural future rooted in community. #SocialGlue #CPGScotland #LibrariesMatter

Today, I raised concerns with Scottish Government Ministers about the challenges of temporary accommodation. It's heart-breaking to hear from constituents facing uncertainty and hardship, with many families caught in this crisis. #ScotParl #TemporaryAccommodation

Last week, I connected with Stroke Association to gain a deeper insight into the urgent need for equitable access to stroke care across Scotland. From prevention to rehabilitation, every stage of stroke care matters, and too many people are still facing barriers. #ScotlandHealth

Great to speak with Soil Association Scotland at Parliament about the growing gap between demand and supply of organic food. Scotland has the potential to lead in sustainable farming, we must back our farmers and grow local, healthy food. 🌱 #OrganicScotland #ScotsParl #Scotland
