The Jenkinson family pets enjoying the sunshine today. Winifred the cat, Brian the tortoise and Angus the dog.

There is a worrying trend of ASB directed at drivers which should concern us all. I hope the driver is ok and those involved are caught and charged. www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/bus-dri...

It was great to be out speaking to voters in Oxgangs with Catriona Munro for Edinburgh South Western this morning before the worst named storm (Dave) in history hit. Who knew a priceless work of art was protecting a bin chute in Oxgangs Crescent?

Frustrating further delays to the delivery of Dalmahoy junction. www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/edinbur...

Once introduced and residents and visitors see and feel the benefits of CPZ’s in their area they rarely want to return to the free for all of old. The policy is sound and only introduced in areas with notable parking issues currently. www.google.com/url?rct=j&sa...

I enjoyed the Spokes Scottish Parliament Election Hustings last night. The format worked well, we had some tough questions from the floor and a good humoured debate. 🚴‍♀️ www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/council...

In light of this decision my Transport & Environment Committee will now have to revisit the vote taken on the Braids Estate LTN. www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/two-edi...

My concern here is we have spent a decade discussing George Street and delivered nothing. Unless there is some compromise across the political groups in the Council we’ll still be talking about ‘what should be done’ with Princes Street in 2036! www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/edinbur...

👏👏👏

Thinking of everyone in Clovenstone after the stabbing in Clovenstone Gardens. Hoping the man injured makes a full recovery. Incidents like this affect whole communities — wishing residents strength and support. Safer streets for everyone should always be the goal. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Angus is a star! theedinburghreporter.co.uk/2026/03/coun...

My wee dog Angus has just won first place at Crufts in the dog grooming intermediate asian fusion competition. I’m so proud of Angus and delighted for Kristie Rowe at Howl and Hound 👏👏👏

Standing for election WHILST being investigated for benefit fraud is a bold move I’ll give her that 😳 www.scotsman.com/news/politic...

It was a real privilege to attend Craig Gordon’s testimonial dinner tonight at Tynecastle Stadium. Even won a signed strip in the raffle as a bonus 👍

It’s a Saturday so must be another positive door knocking session with Daniel Johnson MSP in Buckstone 👏👏👏

🚨Calderglen EYC. Due to a problem with the roof and the associated costs in fixing it the Council has taken the difficult decision to demolish the building. The children will be relocated to surrounding nursery’s and parents have been informed. www.edinburghlive.co.uk/news/edinbur...

I am really proud of the work my good friend Dr Scott Arthur MP and his team have done with this bill. A very worthwhile endeavour and a law that will change and save lives. 👏 braintumourresearch.org/blogs/latest...

I’m pleased Lothian Buses are committed to electrifying their fleet instead of banking on hydrogen — a decision that will deliver cleaner air, lower emissions, and a more sustainable transport future for our city. ⚡🚌 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We struck a good deal for Edinburgh yesterday. Scotlands lowest council tax rise at 4%, one that protects vital services and invests in infrastructure while easing pressure on households. news.stv.tv/east-central...

Can’t believe they are still bothering to publish this rubbish.

Cllr Cowdy conveniently doesn’t mention he would cut services and jobs to fund his £9m single year Council Tax cut. 🤔 www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/opinion...

🚧 A new live interactive map of all planned roadworks across Edinburgh has been created by City Scope. You can see it here 👇 www.city-scope.co.uk/cycle-scope?...

Really great response on the doorsteps of Buckstone today with Daniel Johnson MSP. People are fed up of this tired SNP Government and know in May they have a great chance of sending them packing 📦

Not for the first time the Tories are wildly out of touch with reality. I’m determined to tackle city centre congestion whilst they are trying to make it worse 😩 theedinburghreporter.co.uk/2026/02/loth...

Scaremongering by the pro-congestion Tories. You’d never guess there is an election around the corner 🤦‍♂️ www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/edinbur...

Now that would be something special for Scotland 🏈 www.scotsman.com/news/politic...

The LEZ was introduced to change behaviour not generate revenue. The enforcement regime has been in place for one year and is still bedding in. We will take all available steps to ensure fines are paid. theedinburghreporter.co.uk/2026/02/coun...

It isn’t by accident that the Tories lose every vote 9-2 at TEC (Transport & Environment Committee). www.google.com/url?rct=j&sa...

It took three attempts but finally a decision was taken on the W Hotel access issues by my committee last week 👍 theedinburghreporter.co.uk/2026/02/w-ho...

Received this brilliant leaflet today from Daniel Johnson MSP. A vote for anyone else in May could allow the SNP to sneak in through the back door!

Fantastic team effort on the doorstep with Daniel Johnson MSP this morning. No love for the SNP or their tired and out of touch Government in Buckstone that’s for sure!

Lothian have announced a few (and mostly minor) service changes that will come into effect next month 🚌 www.lothianbuses.com/news/2026/01...

I delivered a speech to the Rail in Scotland conference this week on the “Future of Mass Transit in Edinburgh” the concept I presented seems to have taken on a life on its own 😬 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I’m aware it was a bit chaotic yesterday morning. This article explains what is happening and why www.scotsman.com/regions/edin...

🚨Weird Green Motion Alert 🚨Chas Booth just can’t get over the fact that I’ve done more to encourage cycling in Edinburgh in 4 months than he’s done in 40 years! A reminder that this service has been introduced at no cost and no risk to the taxpayer 🚲 www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/edinbur...

“this has been an issue for many years. What we’re trying to do is take reasonable steps and do what we can to improve conditions for the people who live around there.” www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/cctv-im...

Fantastic response on the doorstep for Daniel Johnson MSP in Greenbank this morning. 100 days to go! Well actually 103 but 100 sounds better 👏

All roads lead to tram 🚊 www.edinburghlive.co.uk/news/edinbur...

I was invited on to BBC Radio Scotland this morning to talk a little about Controlled Parking Zones (CPZs) and the effect they are having managing problem parking in Edinburgh.

It is indeed tragic that a fatality was the catalyst for change, however I am pleased these road safety measures have now been put in place on Whitehouse Road. news.stv.tv/east-central...

Encouraging to see plans being discussed to use a future visitor levy to help fund the long-awaited George Street revamp. If approved, it’s a chance for visitors to help support better public spaces and long-term investment in Edinburgh. www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/edinbur...

It was great fun campaigning with Daniel Johnson MSP this morning in Newington. A vote for anyone else risks the SNP sneaking in through the back door and it was clear Craigmillar Park are having none of that thank you very much. 👍
