Good campaign day with @snpenl members, on Scotland’s right to decide. Our pledge is simple: choice, fairness and democracy must guide Scotland’s path. Sign the declaration at yes.scot/decide. #activeSNP @theSNP

Great to be out in Fountainbridge and Craiglockhart today with our brilliant @theSNP candidate Murray Visentin. I know Murray personally, I know he’s deeply committed delivering for his ward and fighting for independence. On June 26, vote Murray Visentin—vote SNP! #ActiveSNP

“Scotland, as ever, being short-changed by the Westminster government” The SNP’s @MareeToddMSP says the “jury is still out” on Labour’s Spending Review because there is “absolutely no detail”, and questions whether there “is much good news there” for Scotland #bbcdn

Top day to be out helping elect @KatyLoudonSNP in Hamilton with members from @LeithWalkSNP and @BenMacpherson MSP Amazing to see the fantastic support from across Scotland from all our @theSNP family. Good luck Katy. Lovely to team up with Amity from C&D @YSINational @snpenl
Whilst the Labour Westminster government makes your life harder, the SNP is putting money back in your pocket. The SNP is always on Scotland's side. Vote SNP TODAY by 10pm to elect an MSP who will put Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse.

Immigrants are Scotland: your NHS nurses, your kids’ teachers, your next door neighbours. This ‘island of strangers’ rhetoric is dangerous and dehumanising. A stranger is just a friend you haven’t met yet—and Scotland is better off because of immigrants.

Delighted & grateful to be selected by @LeithSNP, @LeithWalkSNP & @CraigintinnySnp members to re-stand for @theSNP next year in the constituency of Edinburgh North Eastern & Leith.🙏 Good to attend @CraigintinnySnp branch meeting this evening as our campaign begins, together.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
I’m grateful to the many people who’ve been in touch recently encouraging me to stand for re-election next year! My current seat is splitting in half in 2026 due to population growth. I live in the new seat of Edinburgh North Eastern & Leith & have decided to seek to stand there.

“It’s time to get really angry about this because you are being had” Broadcaster @LesleyRiddoch says the Highlands have “so much potential” through “massive amounts of renewable energy” but the profits “are going everywhere else but the Highlands” #bbcdn
