Standing to be your Scottish Labour candidate for 2026 in Edinburgh North Eastern and Leith/Edinburgh Eastern, Musselburgh and Tranent.

[Michael Davidson @Michael4Edin]

I'm asking @ScottishLabour members in the new constituencies of Edinburgh North Eastern and Leith and Edinburgh Eastern, Musselburgh and Tranent to put their trust in me to be the candidate for next year's Holyrood elections.

Last year, we built a people powered campaign in Edinburgh West. We knocked the Tories into fourth place, and increased the Labour vote.

I'm excited to get out and speak to members about their priorities for next year.

Country first, party second.

I held my first Cabinet meeting this morning. My government is ready to serve the people of Britain.

@sus176 She's been very understanding and I will be taking her on the greatest holiday ever (this is not Lauren 👀👀)

[Michael Davidson @Michael4Edin]

My closest ally, my most sage adviser, my comms extraordinaire and future wife. I couldn't have done any of it without her ❤️

[Tim Farron @timfarron]

We have recalled Agent Truss from the field, her work is complete.

@gregorpoynton Congratulations Gregor!

[Michael Davidson @Michael4Edin]

@EuanHyslop @theSNP @cajardineMP @kvisleis Thank you Euan, and to you and @kvisleis too. There is more than that which unites us as than divides us ✊🏻

[Scottish Young Labour @scotsyounglab]

Congratulations to our very own Euan Stainbank MP!

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

My government will serve you.

Politics can be a force for good.

The work of change begins today.

[Michael Davidson @Michael4Edin]

@liamchallenger And thank you! Your knowledge and experience has been invaluable.

[Chris Murray MP @ChrisMurrayMP]

At the last election, Scottish Labour had one MP.

We listened, we learned, we changed.

Look at us now.

[Michael Davidson @Michael4Edin]

@ceciliapeartree @cajardineMP Thank you for your support. Much appreciated!

[Michael Davidson @Michael4Edin]

It was a great result across Edinburgh for Labour and it's brilliant to be returning four MPs. Edinburgh West was the outlier but we increased our vote share here by 6.3% with limited resources. Congratulations to @cajardineMP for her stunning victory here!

[Michael Davidson @Michael4Edin]

I also want to give my commiserations to @EuanHyslop who was a great candidate. I hope our paths cross again soon.

[Michael Davidson @Michael4Edin]

Took some time during the campaign to speak to the formidable @EdinReporter on Labour's election campaign here in Edinburgh West 👇

@Euan4FKSouth Good luck Euan!

[Michael Davidson @Michael4Edin]

I was at school the last time Labour was in government.
I've lived under a Tory government for my entire adult life.
It's time to turn the page and have a fresh start.
#VoteLabour for Change today.

[Michael Davidson @Michael4Edin]

Polling day. A chance to kick out this rotten Tory government for a generation.

Vote Labour today 🌹
