✊ Solidarity with University of Edinburgh staff taking action for better conditions, and with everyone organising, supporting each other and refusing to be divided.

Thank you so much to my team of collaborators who helped me pull this together (Dan, Rhianna and Matt) and to East Lothian Bob the Druid for supporting me from the gallery.
What an honour to be able to do this...

Earlier this week I raised the issue of the unacceptable punitive measures beign taken against string staff with the First Minister (only to recieve a quite disappointing response).
To everyone feeling scared after the racist violence we saw across Scotland: you are loved, valued and you belong here.
Condemnation is not enough. Communities affected by racism and racist violence must be listened to, supported and centred in our responses.
For those interested in the detail, I'm shadowing Minister Simita Kumar and have the same set of portfolio responsibilities: www.gov.scot/about/who-ru...
Do you know someone who deserves special recognition? I'm seeking nominations for a local hero to be my guest at the official opening of The Scottish Parliament on Sat 27 June. They must live in the Edinburgh and Lothians East region. Email [email protected] with your suggestions 💚

Officially my fave thing that's happened in parliament so far: meeting my fellow MSP @kaykinoneill.bsky.social 's community group from the Mustard Seed in Leith.
More than 20 folk came to congratulate Kayleigh on her election & share food with us. Totally delightful & I hope the first of many
