It was a real pleasure to visit Aire Street Workshops today to meet some of the talented people who have built a remarkable creative community there. I welcome what the Council has now said about working with them to find a way forward, and I will do everything I can to help.

I marched against Thatcher’s anti-gay hate laws in the 1980s. I voted for Equal Marriage as an MP. I've now got a ring on my finger. Never let people tell you politics can't make a difference.

Thirty years on from his passing John Smith is still much missed. As a young man I had the immense privilege of spending time in his company and cherish to this day what turned out to be our final conversation, standing together on the jetty on Iona where he now rests.

Some personal news. After 14 very happy years, I’ve decided the time is right to move on from a job and city that I love. I’m here until the end of 2024. More to come on what next for me then. Until then, lots to do. Thank you so much to everyone who has helped and supported me.

An Israeli offensive in Rafah would be catastrophic. It must not go ahead. We need an immediate ceasefire, the immediate release of hostages, and immediate unimpeded aid to Gaza.

An offensive in Rafah would be a humanitarian disaster, as well as risking the ceasefire and hostage deal. It must not go ahead. Extreme and dangerous rhetoric from Ministers like Smotrich must be condemned. We need an immediate ceasefire.
