***IMPORTANT***We've had to cancel our session tomorrow, now meeting on Sunday at 11am instead, once the yellow weather warning from Storm Amy is no longer in place. Join us, sharing the positive message of the SNP and how much better Scotland could be as an independent country!

We're launching our crowdfunder for the Holyrood election campaign next year. Only an SNP win can deliver independence. If elected I'll be a hard working local representative fighting the corner of the communities I represent. Please donate if you can. www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/elect-kate...

Labour are increasing your energy bills, after promising to cut them - to pay for a nuclear plant in England.

❌ One year of Keir and the report card’s in - it’s a Fail for Keir Starmer.👇

It took a lot of luck, time and effort for @sarasheridan.bsky.social and myself to get a very small historical information board added near a cairn in the park, with considerable inside assistance, so it always irks me how easily a scheduled ancient monument and SSSI can be turned into a carpark

Really uplifting evening last night at Leith Academy's end of year awards ceremony. Huge congratulations to all the amazing young people who had their achievements recognised 👏

New student housing ban possible, following my motion to last week's Full Council meeting 👇 theedinburghreporter.co.uk/2025/06/new-... via @edinreporter.bsky.social

We’re taking action to support families with the cost of living. 💷 From August, a number of S1 to S3 pupils in eight council areas will get free school meals as part of a new trial - saving £450 per child per year. news.stv.tv/politics/fre...

While Labour cut PIP across the UK, we won’t let disabled people down here in Scotland. We will not cut Scotland’s Adult Disability Payment - our equivalent of PIP. www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politic...

Councillors backed my call to look at a halt on new student accommodation yesterday. Developers appear heedless of changing world around them. Vital then that @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social looks to act to rein in market. www.deadlinenews.co.uk/2025/06/20/c...

Political campaigning in general & by-elections in particular are a great way of seeing bits of Edinburgh (& elsewhere) that you wouldn't otherwise. Tonight, the Rosemount Buildings - what a gem! I assume that someone knows stuff about them - @threadinburgh.scot or @stevenrobb.bsky.social?

I was quoted in Sunday's @scotnational.bsky.social - Prof Ken Gibb of Glasgow University agrees with my assessment that the student accommodation development bubble mascotny be bursting. Developers haven't recognised that yet, so @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social must look to act.

I am proposing @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social explores halt to new student accom. After bubble bursts, our city may blighted by white elephant student blocks no one wants. The Council must consider stepping in now to rein in the market before it's too late. www.edinburghlive.co.uk/news/edinbur...

Brexit has cost the UK £140bn - £2000 per person - and sent prices skyrocketing. Farage is the cause of the cost of living crisis, not the solution. Will he apologise to Scots for the damage he’s caused tomorrow - or will he keep avoiding the obvious? www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottis...

Sums it up. 15 yrs of Westminster austerity has caused misery, public services slashed & benefits cut, anaemic economic growth, fuelling Brexit vote & rise of Reform. Labour promised change but are continuing failed Tory austerity. Scotland's only way for a better future is through independence.

The Prime Minister’s statement on immigration today will damage our economy, the NHS, social care and our universities. It ignores the need to boost Scotland’s working age population. This sort of divisive language only plays into Nigel Farage’s hands. Not in Scotland’s name.

🇪🇺 Today marks Europe Day - an opportunity to celebrate peace and unity in Europe. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland is a proud European nation - and the SNP will always champion Scotland’s place in the EU as an independent country. 🇪🇺

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

Amazing turnaround by City this season, after being at the brink. Enormous credit to everyone involved in the club 👏

Beautiful day to be out on the doorsteps for @katyloudonsnp.bsky.social She’s a fantastic candidate and it’s clear people are sick of Labour’s broken promises. The only party that will stand up for Scotland is the @snp.org

With one year to go to the Scottish Parliament elections, delighted to set out the positive case for Scotland’s future with our outstanding team of SNP candidates. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Absolutely delighted to be selected as the SNP candidate for Edinburgh Eastern, Musselburgh and Tranent. Thank you so much to members who took part, and @Lee-AnneMenzies.bsky.social who ran a positive campaign. Now let’s get to work taking the SNP’s message of hope to the doorsteps.

👀

Geoff is an active trade unionist, and long time campaigner for independence, so I am absolutely delighted to have his support. Ballots close at noon tomorrow - if you're a member in Edinburgh Eastern, Musselburgh and Tranent don't forget to cast your vote!

🥀 Voters want a word with Keir Starmer. The PM should do the right thing and make a campaign visit to Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse ahead of the by-election, says Stephen Flynn. 👇 www.snp.org/voters-want-...

Absolutely unacceptable that this tree stump and broken pavement in Restalrig still hasn't been dealt with by @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social. The tree came down in Storm Eowyn - now over three months ago. I've escalated this with senior council officers.

All good wishes to the pupils and students across Scotland will be involved in the exams over the next few weeks. I’m sure your hard work will be a huge strength for you all. Best of luck! 🤝

This Saturday we're off to Polwarth to see some streets in dire need of resurfacing and bike infrastructure. See you there! As usual, meet on Middle Meadow Walk at 2pm.

SNP members in Edinburgh Eastern, Musselburgh and Tranent will get a ballot today so you can vote for who you want to be our candidate for the the Scottish Parliament elections next year. Here's why I'm asking for your support.

Prof. Danny Dorling writes: When UK countries and regions are compared, child poverty is now lowest in Scotland. This wasn’t always the case. The immediate reason for this turnaround in Scotland has been the introduction of the Scottish Child Payment. blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandp...

Just so everyone knows, there will never be any deals, under any circumstances, between the SNP and Nigel Farage. The SNP stand against his divisive politics.

Edinburgh SNP councillors and I are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Cllr Val Walker. Our thoughts are with Val's family and friends, and the Labour group at this difficult time. www.edinburgh.gov.uk/news/article...

Council tax is going up because the UK Labour Government increased costs for councils by increasing tax on Employer National Insurance Contributions.

Here's your first look at Tuesday's front page 📰 Double-digit lead for Yes in exclusive new poll 👀

EXCLUSIVE: Brand new independence poll just dropped ... and it's looking pretty great 👀 A double-digit lead for Yes. See the results here (and find out more from our poll all this week!) www.thenational.scot/news/2508945...

🗣️ 'Westminster is only interested in Westminster' Stephen Flynn hits out at the UK Government as MPs debate emergency law to save British Steel’s Scunthorpe plant

I can't believe the Scotch Whisky Association's secret plan to "steal a living from whisky manufacturers" by *checks notes* making it easier to export to some of their biggest markets?

Absolutely disgusting fly-tipping just off Niddrie Mains Road, opposite the White House. I’ve been asking for years for action on getting it cleaned up. I’ve been promised it will happen soon…

This alone should be reason not to vote Labour next year. Their Thatcherite legacy lives on in PFI schemes that continue to rob the public purse and public sector workers to this day, due to cost the Scottish taxpayer around £1.1bn this year with £13bn still to be paid.

So pleased to have Evan's support. He impresses me so much with his commitment to independence, his passion for, and in depth knowledge of, politics and his positive attitude to everything. He inspires me. So I'm delighted to have his backing. Find out more: www.katecampbell.scot

Seafield will likely change a lot over coming years, transforming into a residential area. We need new homes but developmt must work as a whole & benefit existing communities. Just under 3 weeks to have your say on draft plan: consultationhub.edinburgh.gov.uk/sfc/seafield...

As I’m asking SNP members in Edinburgh Eastern, Musselburgh & Tranent for their vote to make me our candidate for Holyrood next year - I wanted to share my thoughts on some of the policies I care about. Here’s my views on energy policy. (Find out more: www.katecampbell.scot)

Since 2017, over 335,500 Baby Boxes have been delivered, filled with essentials to give children the best start life. For thousands of families the success of the Baby Box isn't a headline, it's been a lifeline.

Delighted to be nominated as a prospective candidate for Edinburgh Eastern, Musselburgh and Tranent, on what looks like a (self selected) all woman short list. Looking forward to a positive, energetic and engaging contest. Whatever happens, our SNP candidate will be a woman🥳

This Anas column is going to age like milk left on a fucking lit stove.

Labour & Tory PFI schemes will cost Scotland £544 million in 2025/26. That’s money ripped from public services to line private pockets - pushing up Council Tax across the country. We scrapped PFI. Labour want to bring it back. Don’t let them.

Labour promised to cut energy bills by £300. Instead, bills went up in January and they went up again today. People across Scotland are paying the price of Labour’s broken promises - we deserve better.

If you haven’t already.
