I am incredibly excited to be on the shortlist to be the @ScottishLabour candidate for MSP in Edinburgh North Eastern & Leith/Edinburgh East, Musselburgh & Tranent. I'm talking to as many members as possible before the hustings, and you can follow my campaign @Oliver4Edinb

@MalcolmChishol1 Not sure how true that is, but it's what we like people to think! Will definitely get a copy of the book

[The Labour Party @UKLabour]

Farage’s party would cut our NHS and give the money to the wealthiest.

I’m calling for the Scottish government to invest in A&E opt-out HIV testing in Glasgow.

This game-changing approach to HIV testing will help to save lives and end new cases of HIV in Scotland by 2030.

600,000 Scots are currently living with Chronic Kidney Disease.

A privilege to host patients, clinicians and @Kidney_Research staff in @ScotParl and back their call for a Chronic Kidney Disease Action Plan for Scotland #CKDActionPlan

[The UK Kidney Association @UKKidney]

Kidney disease doesn't get the attention it deserves. It's underfunded & is often, mistakenly, thought of as a minor disease that doesn't affect many people. This has to change.

A moving contribution form Edinburgh North and Leith delegate Rosie Callander moving a motion about Maternal mortality and highlighting that these deaths are on the increase and higher still if you are a BAME woman.

Name a better way to spend a Friday afternoon, I'll wait

[Oliver Thomas @OliverPThomas]

Fascinating stuff. For 1st time access to primary care is tops list - top priority for 38% of respondents. Exactly why we need new direction for GP services @jackiebmsp & @ScottishLabour
announced at #ScotLab25 last weekend. Change cannot come soon enough

This afternoon I chaired a panel with those that live and breathe the NHS every day at #ScotLab25

The prognosis from NHS workers is that the SNP has broken our health service

@ScottishLabour will fix our NHS and give Scots confidence that they will get the treatment they need

[NHS Lothian @NHS_Lothian]

Calling all staff 📢

Do you know someone in Portering; Domestics; Catering; Laundry; Estates & Facilities; Hospital Sterilisation and Decontamination Unit who shows great compassion in their work❓ Nominate them for the Tom Waterson Award for #CSA2025 https://t.co/FY2DnyiRqL

[Oliver Thomas @OliverPThomas]

This will be no surprise to anyone in secondary care. In an overwhelmed system decisions have been made to concentrate risk in A&E. It's unbelievably dangerous. The solution is really complicated and far wider than A&E, but current approach is not working

[Scottish Labour @ScottishLabour]

Patients and staff across Scotland are being failed by this SNP government.

It's time for a new direction for our health service.

It’s nearly a decade since the SNP promised to end delayed discharge yet numbers are at a record high.

With just 30 per cent of Scotland's young women in good health, we need an NHS that works for all https://t.co/h19fkilJXC
