Edinburgh Central as a place of diversity, creativity and compassion. Our city thrives when people feel secure in their homes, confident in their futures and connected to their communities. That is why I am standing to be the MSP for Edinburgh Central ๏ฟฝ

This is heartbreaking to hear about. It's more important than ever to take a stand against malicious misinformation from online hate-filled echo chambers. Solidarity with Edinburgh's Muslim and other religious communities!

Green walkers by the Water of Leith

Green walkers by the Water of Leith

After a morning door knocking we hosted this monthโ€™s @edinburghgreens.bsky.social Green walk - along the canal and down the water of Leith to Saughton Park. Lovely winter light.

on the regional list.

Old parties have abandoned their voters - Ross McKenzie Since I was elected in 2022, my constituents have told me they cannot continue to absorb ever-increasing fuel costs, rent rises and food bills.

I wrote a bit in the Evening News on why I've joined @scottishgreens.org

It's only been 2 weeks, but I've already learned a lot from Green councillors and I'm loving being part of a group that is so focused and hard-working.

๐ŸŽ No child should ever go hungry at school. Free School Meals are one of the simplest and most effective tools we have to reduce child poverty and level the playing field for every child in Edinburgh and beyond.

Amazing turnout despite the dreich weather for @edinburghgreens.bsky.social doorknocking around Leith & Newhaven today.

Lots of folk dissillusioned with governments at Holyrood & Westminster and warm to the positive message of the Greens.
