Thank you Emily for your time and support.

I cannot believe Labour cllrs. has once again chosen to vote with their Tory and Lib Dem coalition partners to stop safe travel for pupils and parents. I’ve been inundated with emails supporting the Greenbank to Meadows quiet route and how transformational its been!
It’s exhausting and I’m just so ashamed that folk like

Welcome to Starmer’s Labour. Regardless of political differences, it's appalling to see someone treated so cruelly for sharing their personal experiences. The worst part? This isn't an isolated incident—it's becoming a disturbing trend.

Are we able to level up without a level playing field?
We lost the vote today to the 3 administration parties who will be ‘more mindful in the future’. But actions have consequences and some of our grassroots communities have already lost a share of £10M.

Excited about this transformational plan to expand free childcare on Friday afternoons. This will come as a huge relief for families struggling in the cost of living crisis but also for one parent families & for majority of mums who bear the greatest burden of care responsibility
SNP Council budget plans include a free, universal after school club in all Primaries on Friday afternoons to help families with half days & give our kids the best start.
From opposition, we’re showing how our City can make residents’ lives better.👇

As a young woman just starting my political career, I’ve received my ‘fair share’ of online abuse. I choose to largely ignore / block it. But let’s not ignore it!

A couple of weeks ago, I was racially abused on the doorsteps with the usual “go back home” and “you don’t belong here”. I’m so used to this and as much as I try and rise above it - it is so deeply hurtful. 1/3 🧵

Labour, Tories and Lib Dem’s have repeatedly voted down our ask to save EWO’s. This is a costly mistake. We’ve heard from teachers that without this team working to help families overcome challenges to attend school, some kids will simply disappear 🧵
On Thursday, the SNP will try for the second time to allocate council underspend to save the Education Welfare Officer service.
Described as ‘invaluable’ by Trade Unions and education experts - will Labour finally join us in reversing this Lib Dem Education cut?

I was internally screaming at Labour/Tory/Lib Dem cllrs to do the right thing when we met in Dec. Only one item on the agenda and Convenor refused my request to extend time limit for scrutiny and then refusing to publish full documents in public despite this being common practice
This is appalling.
Labour/Tory/Lib Cllrs kept info secret & blocked SNP attempt to take funding decision in public.
Serious questions for those responsible but AGAIN it’s young people most in need being abandoned by Labour & their pals.

has a helpline for anyone needing support following the decision on Winter Fuel Payments 👇
The Chancellor's decision to means-test the Winter Fuel Payment will come as a blow to many pensioners in Scotland struggling on low incomes.
Our helpline can carry out a free benefits check to make sure you're getting all the support you are entitled to.

Part of a councillor’s role is to scrutinise and to ensure that the diverse voices of the communities we serve are represented. Incredibly disappointed that this wasn’t the case when assessing bids for Shared Prosperity Fund

UK Shared Prosperity Fund (successor to EU structural fund): Over £10million to be dished out over 3 years. Some serious concerns about the bid assessment process being raised by
@SimitaSKumar
and
@KateC_SNP
. Confirmed that assessment panel consisted only of white professionals.

Honoured to meet and listen to Dr Hynda Kleinman who was presented the Dr Herzfeld Int’l Jewish Woman of the Year award for Health. I’ve met so many incredible women in healthcare and sciences - they never fail to inspire me 🧬🔬👩⚕️💪

Vile, disgusting and frankly scary behaviour from Tory MPs!

#StopTheFlights
'Instead of booking 50 people on each flight to Rwanda, book 250 people on it then when they stop half of them from travelling you still have a full flight - come on, get on and send them'
Tory MP Peter Bone says 'lefty lawyers' have blocked Rwanda deportations

Delighted that we are pledging to fully fund youth work organisations that have only received partial funding at the recent Connected Communities fund. Shame that Labour couldn’t commit to do the same or agree to publish complete council papers for public scrutiny.
SNP Budget Pledge.
Today Cllr
@SimitaSKumar
has called on the Labour-led Edinburgh Council to match the SNP pledge to provide an additional £465,000 in their budget to secure the future of essential youth work services in the city.

Another day another bitter reminder that Labour cllrs. voted an end to no compulsory redundancies and outsourcing of waste and cleansing services to keep their coalition with the Tories. Hope they choose better!
This morning we’re meeting Labour & Green reps to discuss undoing the LibDem budget.
Labour have a clear choice, we hope they choose social justice.
