    EVEL is (for better or worse) not a parliamentary "thing" anymore.

    Besides, anyone expecting a principled position from Scott Arthur is on a hiding to nothing.

    Exchange between AS and Labour Councillor Margaret Graham on 'X'. Basically AS thinks CEC is there for the taking and said so. Graham suggested he should 'keep quiet'
    National reports exchange...

    Arthur questioned Graham on which part of his post she “disagreed with” to which she replied “well basically all of it”.

    Arthur went on: “So you don't think Labour would work ‘cross-party to put our capital first’?

    Graham told Arthur that Labour “do not have the moral authority to do that anymore” and should have “a bit more respect” for the people of Edinburgh.

    Arthur then said: “I didn't mention ‘moral authority’. You didn't answer my question.”

    Graham then said: “So let's be clear. Working cross party is the inevitability of the current party structure in the city. All parties have been working this way since 2022. It is not unique to Labour.”

    Today marks 6 months since I was (unexpectedly) elected to serve as the MP for Edinburgh South West. It has not always been easy, but every day since I was elected I have been humbled by the faith people placed in me.

    This was a road safety debate on Tuesday - No Lib-Dems, SNP or Reform... and a total of one Tory!

    Checking out the ponies at Redford. Think they may be better off than many constituents in this cold weather!

    Today, I was proud to meet Cruachan IV (right) and his companion Nightcap (left) on a visit to Redford Barracks in Edinburgh South West.

    Cruachan IV (aka Four) is the Royal Regiment of Scotland's mascot, and is also known for eating HM the late Queen's flowers.

    He is a Corporal, and is entitled to proudly wear the operational medals awarded to the Regiment during his tenure as mascot.

    He is a formidable beast and much loved within the Barracks, so it's right that his welfare is a key part of the MoD's plans to leave the facility... I will post an update on this soon.

    "It’s a great place to start," Dr Scott Arthur, the MP for Edinburgh South West, previously told Cycling Weekly about Scotland potentially having the Grand Depart of the Tour de France. "What I’d be interested in is the route through and around the city, so we’ll see where that goes."

    "The first time in Scotland would be amazing, and our friends in Glasgow will be really annoyed at us taking the stage, which is even better," Arthur laughed. "Edinburgh is a fantastic city, and I’m always proud that people come from all over the world to visit, and this is part of that… It comes slightly before the peak summer period, which is great as well for the city economy."
