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.

Had a great (and windy!) visit to Musselburgh beach with @youth4seas.bsky.social to hear more about much-needed efforts to preserve and protect blue mussel beds in Scotland's seas. Really excited to work with the Young Sea Changers over the next five years as blue mussel champion!

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.

Anti-social behaviour can be particularly scary for our children and young people. The brilliant P6s and P7s I met at the Burgh primary school yesterday asked if I could raise their concerns with the First Minister, and I was very happy to do so in the chamber today.

Sadly, since Brexit, the narrative around immigration in the UK has become pretty toxic. Scotland has a long history of welcoming folk from all parts of the world to our country. We cherish the contribution migrants make to our communities and our economy.

Every drug death is an absolute tragedy. We must listen to the families and act on the evidence. We must break the cycle of deep-rooted intergenerational poverty, make sure there are pathways to recovery and access to harm reduction.

The great team at Trade Unions in Communities are hosting a free showing of Everybody to Kenmure Street THIS Saturday, 26th September. A great way to spend a Saturday if you've got some free time.

Like so many people, I’m really concerned about the potential impact of data centres on energy supply, costs, water, the environment and local communities. I'm glad parliament voted to prevent any applications being decided until there is clear guidance in place.

The proposed reform of local government must prioritise delivery of frontline services that meet the needs of local communities. We also need to see more, and better resourced, frontline workers. Great to be able to ask the Deputy First Minister about this.

Kate Campbell @katecampbellsnp.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
We need a strategic plan for how to manage applications for AI data centres. There are very real risks to energy supply, energy costs, water consumption, heat generation and the impact on local communities. These risks need to be addressed in a coherent, overarching plan.

A pleasure to meet with @aberlourcharity.bsky.social in Holyrood to discuss how we can work to eradicate child poverty in Scotland. In the last parliamentary term alone, they provided aid and advice to over 2,300 people in Edinburgh and Lothians East. Aberlour's work is truly invaluable.

Kate Campbell @katecampbellsnp.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
While we are over-reliant on fossil fuels our energy prices will remain unstable. We need to break the cycle of energy insecurity by investing in renewable infrastructure here in Scotland, with full powers over energy for Holyrood. Those powers can only come with independence.

The people of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have the democratic right to self-determination. Today’s agreement between the SNP, Sinn Féin and Plaid Cymru represents a historic moment for these islands. Westminster cannot bury its head in the sand any longer.

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

🗳️ 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.

Between 1917 and 1948, British forces committed grave abuses against the Palestinian people while denying their right to self-determination. From the Mandate to the ongoing genocide, the UK's complicity in Palestinian suffering shames us all.

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!

Scotland’s future should be decided by the people who live here. A draft Independence Referendum Bill has now been published, setting out the question and who would have a vote. Now Westminster must transfer the powers and let Scotland choose its own future.

Anti-social behaviour has no place on our high streets. I’m glad that the Scottish Government will take steps to empower our police service to confiscate e-bikes and e-scooters used in an antisocial way, as well as calling on the UK Government to properly license these vehicles.

👩‍🏫 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!

Living in poverty and facing societal disadvantage are not choices people make. As a government, and as a country, we must continue to invest in our most vulnerable from an early age, so that less people are driven to crime as adults. When we make Scotland fairer, we make Scotland safer.

Such good chats in Portobello today. Plenty of support for the work the SNP is doing to improve our NHS. With waiting times down, GP numbers up and the first walk in GP clinic open there’s still work to do but people know we’re on the right track. #ActiveSNP
