Elena Whitham MSP

Thank you Alison, I look forward to working together on eradicating homelessness for good!

Excited to join the @shelterscotland.bsky.social Committee & use my lived & worked experience to help take forward the message that Home is Everything...the housing emergency must be a priority that reaches right across all policy areas at local and national level.
Housing doesn't sit in a vacuum!

Thanks to @elenawhitham.bsky.social for raising this issue in the chamber today. With 40 families of colour being denied the temporary accommodation they are legally entitled to every week, we need action to ensure a safe, secure and affordable home is available to everyone. #HousingEmergency

Great kayaking and SUP session on Loch Lomond this afternoon. Now time to relax with a cuppa under a blanket being soothed by nature ✨️ #VanLife

Almost quarter of SNP’s female MSPs to step down amid ‘hostile environment’ Women at Holyrood cite lack of support from party, abuse in chamber and online, and tolerance of bullying

"Holyrood is becoming a hostile environment for women.”

Why are so many SNP women stepping down from the Scottish Parliament in 2026?

We look forward to hearing this important matter debated in
Scottish Parliament on Thursday. ⚖️

Fantastic day collaborating with Dr Ingram and her colleagues from the School of Education & Social Sciences. I heard from academics on issues such as PMDD, health inequalities faced by women experiencing homelessness, poverty related stigma & research into pupil experience of new build schools 🙌

Post of me from a different era. Way back in 1989 standing in St-Laurent metro station downtown Montréal at the young age of 15. Seems like yesterday!

We don't have a cat but thought you would all like to meet Mr Mojo Risin our wee jack russell. He is very demure. Very mindful 💗

Just along a wee bit at Croy☺️

View from camper out to Ailsa Craig. My favourite place to be ❤️ #Ayrshire

I am still obsessed with Mind Bomb 🙌

Classic 👌

This is one of my all time favourite songs 👌 keep posting like this and I will be happy 🙌

Great story. You should see the transformation in New Cumnock 👌

It's like a new Dark Ages awaits....

It actually brought tears to my eyes. It evokes such passion. Feel like we could be doing with a dose of that in our Chamber 😉

Hoping this place will be a wee bit kinder. A wee bit more human. I am currently a politician so very ground down by our politics. Very much in need of things to make my heart sing 💜
