🗳️ Today is polling day in Portobello/Craigmillar! 🗳️ Polling stations are open until 10pm tonight. We need @snp.org voices on our city council to hold the Labour-led administration to account and stand up for local people. @silasmcg.bsky.social is a local champion who will do just that.

Government should work for people. John Swinney has set out an ambitious plan to cut NHS waits, build more homes, ease household costs and reshape public services around the people who use them. www.snp.org/a-government-that-works…

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!

👩‍🏫 A joy to visit Portobello High School recently to celebrate its 150th anniversary. It was great to hear from both teachers and pupils past and present, and fascinating to see just how rich the history of Porty High is. Here’s to another 150 years of Porty’s young people doing our city proud!
