Introducing OorParty.scot! It's our branch's online page, bringing together our events, grassroots activities, and showing anyone how they can get involved in seconds! Congratulations and thanks to the volunteers for this valuable platform that will amplify so much of our work.

Branch meeting tomorrow! We’ll discuss policy pledges needed to endorse Holyrood candidates, review potential candidates who share our values, and more. Hope to see you there!

Yesterday we marched for an Edinburgh that rejects fascism and racism! Great to see our branch banner make its debut and so many members on the streets. This is what solidarity looks like!

Our Listening Campaign is heading into its fourth session! Branch members have been tirelessly knocking on doors to listen to communities all over Edinburgh. And this Saturday we'll be at it again in Dalmeny, join us!

Hear from Max from the Scottish Borders, who joined Your Party after years as a social worker witnessing our dysfunctional system’s human toll. He calls for honest politics that fights hardship’s real roots, not lies blaming the vulnerable, as do we! Thank you for your words Max!

Listen to Marlyn's experience from day 1 of the Listening Campaign in Leith. Real doorstep talks – this is Your Party going out and having crucial conversations with our communities, the moment we've all been waiting for! The campaign continues, join us this Saturday in Craigmillar!

Important decisions were made at today's branch meeting! We chose our Election Oversight Committee reps, voted to turn the branch into a Regional Association, and decided not to stand branch candidates for Holyrood 2026. Thanks to all members who joined us today to shape the future of our branch!

Our first Listening Campaign canvass is done and we couldn't be more happy! Members were out asking the people of Leith what would make life better for them and we had great conversations! We’re thrilled to be back on the streets talking with the public every week from now, see you there!

This appalling case of an elderly tenant with multiple sclerosis struggling up to her third‑floor flat is not a one‑off. It is the result SNP austerity and weak regulations that enable landlords and factors to neglect basic repairs while tenants suffer!

Jennie spoke to us at conference about why she decided to join Your Party, and her story will resonate with a lot of our members. Her words are a powerful reminder of the fight for equality and peace that has brought all of us into this political project.

The FWS legal challenge attacking trans women’s right to be held in women’s prisons is dangerous and dehumanising. Trans women are women, and denying their safety is a violation of basic human rights. We condemn this legal review as the latest assault on trans people's civil rights and dignity.

That was a fantastic event! Thank you so much to everyone who came out last night. A special shout out to Bob Goulpillot and Richard Green for leading the session—their presentation sparked a brilliant, most necessary discussion on the national question.

We're holding an important discussion tackling the question of Scottish independence in relation to Your Party. It will be led by branch members Bob Goulpillot and Richard Green, and framed around their article “Your Party: forging a new Scottish socialist party”.

A huge thank you to our friends over at Ecosocialist.scot for this brilliant write-up on the incredible work of Your Party Leith members! They've inspired us all by standing alongside Rockstar workers against union busting, and by organizing effective resistance to fascists in Falkirk.

Two days ago, branch member Ian Drummond's nomination for the Central Executive Committee of Your Party was blocked on erroneous grounds of dual membership. We're delighted to hear Ian's appeal was accepted and that he will be able stand for the Scottish seat in the CEC!

Your Party Edinburgh and Lothians condemn the hateful act of vandalism carried out at the Edinburgh Central Mosque. We stand in solidarity with the Edinburgh Central Mosque community, confident it will come out of this saddening incident strengthened as a space of compassion and communion.

Thank you to everyone that attended the screening of “Severed: The Story of a Boy From Gaza”, by Jen Marlowe. It follows the life of Mohammed Saleh and his harrowing escape from Gaza under Israeli bombardment.

Coming off the humiliating apology BBC bosses wrote to Trump for their editing of his January 6 speech, Trump’s lawsuit has easily cowered these "journalists", who bow so low to power. Now, they launder his every word.

STAND WITH VENEZUELA 🇻🇪 Attacking a sovereign nation, kidnapping its President and demanding its oil: the United States' actions are indefensible. ✍️ Sign and share our petition demanding Keir Starmer condemns Trump's coup: in.yourparty.uk/en/petitions...

Bombing a sovereign nation and kidnapping the President is the behaviour of a cowboy state. The United States’ attack on Venezuela is illegal — and it is utterly shameful that the UK government refuses to condemn this reckless act of war.

Donald Trump won’t stop with Venezuela. Cuba, Greenland, Colombia and Mexico are already in his crosshairs. This is U.S. imperialism, plain and simple — and it must be resisted in all its forms.

Edinburgh YP Branch members will be screening the 2025 documentary "Severed" by Mohammed Saleh - an 18-year-old from Gaza who has lived through five major assaults on the Gaza Strip. Join us for the screening and discussion at Augustine Church, 7pm!

We are proud of our volunteers who organized in “Keep Leith Warm”! Branch members joined Trade Unions in Communities, Zionist Free Leith and other groups, to hand out festive hot food, soup and drinks, plus warm clothing at the Leith Community Centre in the run-up to Christmas.

Our inaugural branch meeting was a blast! We agreed a branch structure, set in motion dozens of member actions in our breakout groups and will be running our first committee elections THIS MONTH 😱

We remember our murdered siblings not only as victims of an unjust world, but as part of a movement of resistance. We hope that our trans and non-binary siblings can take time today to remember and to grieve. Tomorrow, we turn those feelings into determination.

The “magic money tree” exists: it’s in the City of London with the billionaires. What’s missing isn’t money, it’s political will. Establishment parties bankrolled by billionaires aren’t going to tax their donors. We are not going to take this anymore.

Join us for our first branch meeting! tktp.as/EPVYUU

The Mayor of New York City 🍎 This is what socialist representation looks like!

LET'S GET READY TO R̶U̶M̶B̶L̶E̶ ASSEMBLE! This is when the real scrap* begins, as hundreds of members from the Lothians and beyond converge in Tollcross on Saturday to hash out the founding documents of Your Party - book now to secure your spot! *no actual fighting please tr.ee/gv_9afucTr

The media in this country are a disgrace — too eager to lick the boots of their billionaire owners by churning out clickbait headlines like this.

A huge Your Party rally in Glasgow on Friday — and three new councillors defecting from the Greens to mark it! ✊🏽 Independence is a question of democracy: our Scottish members will choose our path. Your Party is the only party that would actually deliver independence with socialism at its heart.

Zarah is coming to Scotland! She and former SSP MSP Frances Curran will gost an event in the CCH on Maryhill Road on 24/10 - tickets will be available via Your Party Glasgow at 6pm tomorrow. ticketpass.org/o/255579258/...
