This morning at the Dennistoun War Memorial service, we remembered all of those young men and women who left the familiar tenement closes of Dennistoun to serve their country and never came back home.
Lest we forget. โ at Glasgow, Scotland

What an incredible job the Musselburgh Air Cadets have done, I Visited the St Andrews High Church to see this and found it a very poignant and moving display as we approach Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day.

Want to say a big thank you to Stone Fired Pizza for dropping off fresh pizzas to the new Youth drop-in based in central Musselburgh.
This pilot youth project offers local young people an alternitive place to be away from the streets

This year's Landlord Report to Tenants has now been published, showing how the council is performing as a social landlord. Highlights include a high level of tenant satisfaction with the Housing Service and 100% compliance with essential safety checks. orlo.uk/p6veq

Time to end this era of power centralisation and chronic underfunding, East Lothian deserves #fairfunding
The Scottish Government has short-changed East Lothian Council by ยฃ16 million since 2014. That money could have made a real difference.
Too much power & funding is concentrated in Holyrood. We need more local decision-making & investment where it counts.

I'm relieved that Glasgow City Council has been forced to pause its shameful fire and rehire plan.
This is a massive victory for the joint trade unions and the 23,000 workers who stood strong to defend their livelihoods.
โWhile this pause is welcome, council workers should never have faced this threat in the first place. It should now be taken off the table completely.
The UK Labour Governmentโs Employment Rights Act will end this disgraceful practice and make fire and rehire illegal for good from January. We will continue to stand with council workers until a fair deal is secured.

Yesterday @CllrForrest and I attended the official opening of the Edinburgh Innovation Hub, which is the result of a successful partnership between ELC and QMU it was great to talk to some of the tenants of the hub and learn of their work in technology, sciences and innovation.
