Today I was denied entry into the West Bank, alongside other parliamentary colleagues from across Europe as part of a @ProgIntl delegation.
We were held for 8 hours, interrogated and ultimately prevented from crossing the border.
I came to stand alongside Palestinians being attacked for harvesting olives on their own land. Instead, we were turned away, with no reason given.
More than ever, Palestinians are being subject to terror and violence by the IDF and illegal settlers. Increased blockades, demolitions and unthinkable violence have become the norm for Palestinians in the West Bank.
It is more important now than ever that we bear witness and show our solidarity.
But we were prevented from doing so.
I will continue to do everything I can to apply pressure on the Netanyahu government, and those responsible for the persecution and genocide of the Palestinian people.

Independence is now supported by a majority of people in Scotland and people must have that choice.
If the Prime Minister backs the opportunity to revisit the 2016 EU referendum, it is completely incoherent to deny another referendum on independence.

Proud to support National Hate Crime Awareness Week 2026.
We must call out and challenge hatred in our society wherever we see it. Racism, sexism, xenophobia, transphobia, homophobia, ablism – all have no place in Scotland.
No one should have to face hate alone.

The UK’s Strategic Spatial Energy Plan (SSEP) will shape our energy strategy for decades to come.
But, like so much else, energy supply and regulation is reserved to Westminster.
I've got no confidence the UK government will put the interests of Scotland first.

Scotland is a nation and we have the right to decide our own future.
Burnham knows that we should have a mechanism by which we can express our desire to become independent.
Of course he's backtracked – he didn't realise just how close we are to meeting that threshold.

Adult Disability Payment is absolutely vital for many people across Scotland.
It helps cover the additional costs people with disabilities face, supporting them to participate fully in society.
Social Security is an investment in our people and our society.

Folk have real concerns around datacentres. I understand why. I do too.
Upcoming guidance must include an energy strategy to prevent any increase in fossil fuel use or energy bills for households. And it must make sure the heat generated can be re-used through district heating.

Majority support for independence delivers a referendum.
Welcome clarity from the new Prime Minister.
#yes

To go from “off limits” to this is an acceptance of the reality that the people of Scotland will decide their own future - not the UK Government.
For the first time since 2014, a British Prime Minister accepts that majority support for a referendum should mean one takes place.

Andy Burnham: If a majority of Scots want independence there should be a referendum
Scotland is a nation - and every nation has the right to choose its own future.
Our pledge is simple: choice, fairness and democracy must guide Scotland’s path.

The PM has said it himself: if a majority of people in Scotland support a second independence referendum, the call should be made to hold one.
This U-turn shows that reality is sinking in at Westminster - Scotland cannot be denied the right to decide our own future.

Musselburgh will be getting a new GP walk-in centre. Absolutely brilliant news.
This will be a game changer for healthcare access right across the town, allowing people to see a GP or nurse without the need for an appointment. And it will be open on weekends too!

Labour are so wildly anti-democratic.
Ermine✅
A woman who might discuss independence❌
Worst ever election result since devolution. The remedy?
Another bloke who'll do whatever the actual leader down in Westminster tells them.
Nevermind the ~50% of Scots who want indy.
EXCL: Scottish Labour leadership candidate Joe Fagan says there are no circumstances in which he will back indyref2.
He will also not support a cross-party agreement to agree a path for a second referendum.

EXCLUSIVE: UK government is in talks with large supermarkets about voluntarily capping food prices on basic food items, four people told @FT. Comes after SNP’s food caps were branded a 1970s style gimmick.

First week in the Parliament. Busy with casework, getting sworn in (and making it clear my first allegiance is to the sovereign people of Scotland) and even managed to get my advert for office manager posted. If you’re interested take a look here - ce1046li.webitrent.com/ce104…
