A productive meeting with The City of Edinburgh Council & Leonard Cheshire in Scotland about the prospect of installing a wheelchair platform at Portobello beach.
There’s still work to do, but this would be a valuable addition for inclusive local facilities for wheelchair users.

👏 Congratulations to John Swinney who has been elected by the Scottish Parliament as Scotland’s First Minister.

Congratulations to John Swinney on becoming Leader of The SNP and FM-elect.

John's central message has been one of unity. As a party, we must heed his call, whatever has happened in the past should remain there.

Let's get behind John & his team so they can deliver for Scotland.

Full house Canongate Kirk for Scottish Poetry Library celebration of Scots poet Robert Fergusson. Astonishing legacy for a man who died aged 24.

Tories & Labour will both impose savage cuts on Scotland if they win the next election.
We need to fight their austerity plans every step of the way.

As STV journalists walk out today, at Scottish Questions in the Commons, The SNP MP Tommy Sheppard MP says: 'I implore the management of STV to get back round the table with the NUJ Scotland to improve their pay offer and to try and settle this dispute.'

Today in Parliament I called on STV News bosses to get back round the table with NUJ Scotland , agree a fair pay deal and get the brilliant news programme back on our screens.

I wrote to the Foreign Sec in February asking on what basis the Govt decided to suspend UNRWA funding. Their position is woefully lacking in transparency. Shockingly, there has been no response. Here’s my point of order seeking guidance on holding the Foreign Office to account.

Today I asked UK Gov what action they are taking to ensure PM Netanyahu complies with int. peace process - which requires the creation of a Palestinian state.
Some recognition of need for 2 state solution in reply, but no answer to my question.

Today with The SNP MPs, I met SubPostmasters.
We will continue to push hard for Scotland to be included in the Horizon Bill & Westminster compensation schemes.

Currently in a packed Westminster Hall listening to response to public petition in favour of #AssistedDying . Debate covers England and Wales but the sheer breadth of support amongst MPs is remarkable. If Scotland changes law I predict England will soon follow. Humanists UK
