Torness has been foundational to Scotland’s power generation for decades. It has also delivered well paid, unionised jobs here in East Lothian. It’s an outstanding site for new investment in nuclear power but sadly the SNP remain opposed to this carbon free power source.

@annsimpson21 @DalgetySusan Thanks Ann, much appreciated 🙏

[Kirsteen Sullivan MP @kittysull1]

@DalgetySusan Thank you! Just doing my bit to help the work being done by advocacy & support groups across the country, and to be fair, by the UK government which recognises medical misogyny and the need for streamlined diagnosis, treatment & care pathways.

[Kirsteen Sullivan MP @kittysull1]

Yesterday I took part in a documentary for Latest TV, based in Brighton.

I spoke to the host Bella on the work of the Endometriosis APPG and the need for women to have swifter access to diagnosis, treatment and care pathways across the UK.

[Kirsteen Sullivan MP @kittysull1]

There is a sense of momentum as women’s voices are being amplified right across the country, in their demands for better. I stand with them, and for them.

[Kirsteen Sullivan MP @kittysull1]

Together, we can help ensure women's voices are heard and taken seriously.

[Kirsteen Sullivan MP @kittysull1]

I'm supporting Unheard - a powerful and important collaboration between Creative Media students at Shipley College and Endometriosis Awareness North.

Through a moving documentary, students have helped share the real life experiences of women living with endometriosis.

[Kirsteen Sullivan MP @kittysull1]

voices that have gone unheard for too long and calls for a system that listens, understands, and responds.

You can view the Unheard page here https://t.co/3hRuI8WTQf and I encourage others to watch, engage and support this vital work.

Resident doctors have just agreed a deal with us to stop the strikes.

This deal will see better pay progression, better career opportunities, and better working conditions for resident doctors.

Together, we can get on with delivering for patients and cutting waiting lists.

With thousands of public messages calling for change, it’s clear people care. It’s time our laws caught up and we ended cages for laying hens🐓

[Kirsteen Sullivan MP @kittysull1]

Last week I attended an eye catching exhibition in Westminster, hosted by Josh Newbury MP and organised by Compassion in World Farming, highlighting the urgent need to #EndTheCageAge.

[Kirsteen Sullivan MP @kittysull1]

Around 6 million hens in the UK are still kept in cages, unable to express basic natural behaviours. A striking phone box display showed just how little space they have.

[Kirsteen Sullivan MP @kittysull1]

As ever, an excellent read from @DalgetySusan

The question that won’t go away. No, not about Andy (an unfathomable comment) but why Labour hasn’t had a female PM 👇

[Susan Dalgety @DalgetySusan]

Is Andy Burnham about to be Labour’s first female Prime Minister? No, I haven’t been on the gin (yet), but one ‘senior’ Labour figure says the former Manchester mayor is a “female PM in all but sex”. Me ✍️on Labour’s sexism (link in replies)

[Kirsteen Sullivan MP @kittysull1]

Agree

[Scottish Labour Women's Declaration @LWDScotland]

Does it matter that @EdinburghCC councillors passed a motion condemning the EHRC Code of Practice as discriminatory & unworkable, forcing the @ScottishLabour council leader to write to Westminster saying so? Simply an irrelevant performative gesture? 1/5
