It has been the privilege of my life to serve my constituents in Edinburgh South since my election in 2010. I have always worked hard to represent everyone in the constituency, whether they voted for me or not.

In 2024, I will be standing again in the general election and I hope to be returned to the seat which I have served for fourteen years and which I call home.

However, I cannot do it alone. At previous elections, it has been the crucial work of volunteer canvassers, phonebankers and leafletters who have helped me get re-elected, whether members of the Labour Party or not.

Whether you support me personally or you want to see the change that a Labour government could bring to the UK, I’d be honoured to receive your help and support at the next election. Big or small, your contribution matters in changing our country.

Whether you are an experienced door knocker or new to campaigning entirely, my team and I would be glad to help you and get to know you.
