We'll be out campaigning in Wallyford this Saturday. Join us at 11am outside the Day-Today supermarket to chap some doors and speak to voters.

If you've never done it before it's the perfect time to learn, we'll be going out as a team and buddying up with experienced activists.

The SNP is funded by our members, not taking large donations from private healthcare providers like Labour.

But we do need your help.

If you can, please contribute to my campaign to win Edinburgh Eastern, Musselburgh and Tranent.

I know a lot of people are really worried about what the closure of Marionville Fire Station will mean. The SFRS are holding public consultation meetings, so definitely go along if you have strong views or any questions for them. Itโ€™s so important the community are heard on this.

If elected I'll be a hard working local representative fighting the corner of the communities I represent.

Team Edinburgh out for @katyloudonsnp.bsky.social in Hamilton. Fantastic chats with voters. People are pretty fed up with politics on the whole, but thereโ€™s still strong support for @snp.org as the only party standing up for Scotland.

Labour creating yet another made up role for a Tory councillor. Wasting public funds to keep themselves in power. Outrageous.

A lot of people worried about the sinkhole at Towerbank - I can understand why!

The council is investigating and theyโ€™ve promised to keep ward cllrs informed. Iโ€™ve asked for reassurance on safety & more info on the cause.

Residents need to understand the next steps asap.
