I wrote to the Foreign Sec in February asking on what basis the Govt decided to suspend UNRWA funding. Their position is woefully lacking in transparency. Shockingly, there has been no response. Here’s my point of order seeking guidance on holding the Foreign Office to account.
Today I asked UK Gov what action they are taking to ensure PM Netanyahu complies with int. peace process - which requires the creation of a Palestinian state. Some recognition of need for 2 state solution in reply, but no answer to my question.
Today with @theSNP MPs, I met SubPostmasters. We will continue to push hard for Scotland to be included in the Horizon Bill & Westminster compensation schemes.
Currently in a packed Westminster Hall listening to response to public petition in favour of #AssistedDying. Debate covers England and Wales but the sheer breadth of support amongst MPs is remarkable. If Scotland changes law I predict England will soon follow. @Humanists_UK
Today, I’ve written again to Foreign secretary @David_Cameron asking for a response to my letter in February on UNRWA funding. This support should be restored to get aid to those in desperate need within Gaza.
Rwanda plan is all about creating scapegoats and politicising misery - my piece in yesterday’s Sunday @ScotNational tommysheppardmp.scot/2024/04/29/blo…
Thanks @HumzaYousaf for all you have done.
An emotional & moving event over the weekend at unveiling of memorial to baby “Craig Millar”. Beautiful stories told by Heather “the blether”. That his life is still commemorated is testament to the community spirit of people in Edinburgh East.
At Meadowbank to catch @EdinburghCityFC penultimate league match of the season. Great game but sadly not the result we were hoping for.
Huge numbers of local people & I objected to this plan to flip an approved housing site (inc 25% affordable homes) into student flats. But Council has failed us by not making decision in time & now we won't get our say in a public forum. Disgraceful. edinburghlive.co.uk/news/edinburgh…
Proud of my city not letting the horrific Rwanda bill pass without protest. This law must be challenged and repealed. @RacismStandup
Really interesting meeting this afternoon with constituents affected by the change in state pension age, with input from @agescotland. I’ll keep campaigning for the justice and financial compensation #WASPI women deserve.
Very productive meeting with residents of Greendykes last night about skyrocketing district heating charges. Lots to take away and I will keep pressing the UK Government to act to protect hard-pressed households against these extortionate bills.
I'll be speaking at the Edinburgh protest tomorrow - join us if you can👇

Great to be at the @workingrite awards ceremony this morning as students from @leithacademy and @CastlebraeCCC graduate from this year’s Rite to Work course.
Packed @PortyTownHall campaign event this evening with @TommySheppard and @valmcdermid. Powerful speech from Tommy on how Westminster’s values are not Scotland’s values. @theSNP MPs like Tommy will always stand up for Scotland and a better, fairer future with independence.
Brilliant campaign event with @HumzaYousaf and the wonderful Val McDermid at a packed @PortyTownHall @theSNP
Residents are worried & rightly angry about the impact of these eye-watering rises. I’m demanding action from UK Ministers. They’ve been asleep at the wheel while residents are suffering, they need to fix this now. dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-…
Really looking forward to Val McDermid in conversation with FM @HumzaYousaf tonight! You can still get a last-minute ticket 👇 see you there! eventbrite.co.uk/e/val-mcdermid…
I’m voting against the hideous Rwanda legislation (again). This is a clear attempt by the UK Government to weaponise immigration & whip up prejudice. An expensive gimmick that won’t work & won’t deliver the safe routes people need who are seeing sanctuary.
