Westminster policies on reserved matters like Energy and the Economy are failing communities throughout 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and Edinburgh. I look forward to highlighting my priorities for Edinburgh West over coming months as I stand for election here #GeneralElectionN0W

Fab new initiative at The Ripple - the Refillery. Everyday essentials like pasta, toilet roll, tatties and much, much more, all at fair prices - exactly what's needed in this cost-of-living crisis. Great to cut the opening ribbon!

“Women in Scotland have been badly let down by Westminster over this scandal. You must not break your promises and abandon WASPI women again - as it appears you are preparing to do.”

SNP MP Tommy Sheppard has put pressure on the owners of a historic art-deco cinema to stop it from 'falling into dilapidation'

thenational.scot/news/24206749.…

Local people are understandably concerned about the George falling into dilapidation, going past the point where it could be renovated and ending up being demolished by default. I’ll be keeping up the pressure alongside Kate Campbell - the George could have an amazing future.

'Planning convener James Dalgleish said it should be left to planning officers to decide'

Pretty much sums up the Edinburgh Labour approach to administration. Happy to double their salaries as conveners but no desire to take decisions or shape policy

Genuinely disappointing and surprising that Labour councillors voted against investigating re-establishing a council-run, in-house trade waste collection service, as proposed by Green cllrs.

Given their manifesto commitment to insourcing - why?

Well, they had a month to think about it-in light of data showing Labour will continue Tory austerity, I asked 👇 again & Labour STILL can’t name a single policy difference between Labour & the Tories…. 👎

Big haul of rubbish picked from Meadowbank, Marionville & Lochend. Thanks to Keep Scotland Beautiful & the lovely staff at KFC Meadowbank for having me along to join in #SpringCleanScotland this morning.

Tourist tax revenue can be used for affordable housing, says minister

Sorry to see Adam move on. The first and so far only SNP member to lead the country's capital city. Under his leadership we won the '22 election. He only lost the top job then because of Labour's shabby deal with the Tories to take over. Good luck to him in his pastures new.

Adam has been an amazing leader with endless ambition & vision for our city.

He's also been incredibly supportive, encouraging so many people to get involved in politics, and working hard to make sure our SNP group reflects the communities we represent.

We'll miss him! 💛

The SNP voted against the Tory budget tonight.

Labour MPs went home.

It’s been a privilege to serve the City & I’ll continue to serve Leith 💛
I’m so grateful for the trust so many people in Edinburgh have put in #TeamSNP & for the support of party members & Cllrs. 🙏
Excited for our Capital’s future, onto independence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
