A lovely day in Leith campaigning for Oliver4ENE&L People feel passionately that the SNP have failed Scotland’s public sector. Over 17 years of SNP governance has been plenty. Oliver Thomas is dedicated to public service as a local Doctor and would be a fantastic MSP 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🌹

This is the ambition we need for Scotland's NHS. Recruit more GPs, end the 8am rush, give GPs the time and space to be the family doctors people need #newdirection2026

Many Scots are forced to wait hours when using NHS 24. I asked the First Minister to publish data on the time it takes from initial call to treatment.

Had a great time at Leith Festival Gala Day despite the weather! Rain didn't dampen our spirits - brilliant music, excellent food, & great conversations about what we can do to make Leith the best place to live. Thank you to everyone who came to say hello #leith #leithfestival

Great session on the doors today delivering my brand new leaflet! Thank you to everyone who took time to talk. Number of questions raised about proposed traffic changes at Smokey Brae & plans for Marrionville Fire Station. Lots to follow up on

Another great session meeting people in Restalrig today and listening to their stories. Thank you to everyone who took the time to talk to us about what matters most to you. People want a #NewDirection for our community and @scottishlabour are ready to deliver it

Come rain, shine, and both at once we're out knocking doors and talking to people about what matters most to them. Thank you to everyone who made time to talk, and to all the teams out this weekend around Edinburgh North Eastern and Leith

What a fantastic night at the Moonwake taproom with friends old and new. Thank you to everyone who came down to help properly launch my campaign for Holyrood 2026. Great beer, brilliant company, a quiz and a raffle - what more could you want on a Friday night!

Scotland’s buses and ferries should be built in Scotland.

Our NHS is at breaking point and we urgently need change. Thank you to those in Edinburgh last night who came to share their experiences with me.

Neil Gray participated in just one meeting discussing GP walk-in centres, on a Sunday, the day before John Swinney announced the policy in his SNP conference speech. This is not how a serious government makes serious policy.

As a former dentist in the NHS, I understand the pressures both patients and staff are under. As First Minister, I will deliver a new direction for our NHS. Oliver4ENE&L

“It’s not the children’s fault. These children don’t deserve to grow up in poverty” Labour's Anas Sarwar says scrapping the two child cap is part of a “moral mission” to “fight poverty”, but calls for “structural action” against inequality in Scotland #bbcqt

In four months, Scotland has a choice between more of the same or a better tomorrow with Scottish Labour. Let’s choose ambition over excuses and hope over division to deliver the change our nation needs.

It was fantastic to hear @anassarwarmsp set out his vision for Scotland today. This election isn't a proxy judgement on governments elsewhere, it's about Scotland's NHS, our schools, our future. That's why we need Anas Sarwar as our next First Minister

Another excellent doctor standing for Scottish Labour in this May’s election. Fixing Scotland’s NHS will be our first priority in government.
