Edinburgh is awesome

@cllrcammyday @JohnSwinney @Edinburgh_CC Holiday let's are a HUGE success story. Est £154m brought to city’s economy & 5,580 jobs created in 2023. It is time to celebrate the tremendous amount of work that makes this happen & our wonderful community. bit.ly/3UjSKB6

In case politicians are unaware, a raft of ill-considered legislation & poor communication with Scotland's self-catering sector has made problems for local operators 10x worse. We're on a cliff edge. Locals go abroad as we're pushed as a playground for the wealthiest. #SaveSC

On your watch @PaulMcLennan7, @_KateForbes, @JohnSwinney - was it arrogance,ignorance or sheer incompetence that led you to ignore industry experts (@ASSCnews @FionaCampbell74),who warned this would happen? 😡Do something about it - stop destroying the industry! @SaveSCScotland

@oldtownrez @JohnSwinney Couldn't have said it better.

@JohnSwinney This is just one of many instances where your government has waged a war against its own people.. in pursuit of a niche activist agenda that damages society.

The Scottish Government accepts today’s Supreme Court judgement. The ruling gives clarity between two relevant pieces of legislation passed at Westminster. We will now engage on the implications of the ruling. Protecting the rights of all will underpin our actions.

@macdon3026 @ASSCnews Unfortunately politicians either don't care (unless it impacts their re-election) or just don't understand how businesses actually run & have no idea how the barrage of ill-judged legislation is destroying local operators in favour of offshored investors. #SaveSC

@SaveSCScotland @Edinburgh_CC @CllrChasBooth @susan4leithwalk , any leads for this constituent? Oh... I forgot you've shut them all down 🤡.

In case anyone thinks that killing off local self catering in @edinburgh_CC would not have consequences for the many people who NEED S/C for reasons other than a wee holiday. Plus, if they can actually find something they'll soon be paying the tourist tax too. 🙄 #SaveSC

@SaveSCScotland @scotgov As predicted Shutting down local economies so foreign investers can swoop in. Does the government not care? Why the silence? When will you sort this mess out?

@scotgov repeatedly told STL legislation would have negative consequences & self catering operators were ignored or told we were wrong. This is what will happen in many rural parts of #Scotland telegraph.co.uk/money/property… #SaveSC

Caithness hotelier warns visitor levy plans are ‘flawed’ and ‘bad for Highlands’ johnogroat-journal.co.uk/news/caithness…

@bbcdebatenight @FionaCampbell74 @zubirahmed @EmmaRoddickSNP When even the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 B&B of the Year in Ayrshire was forced to closedown.. it was a sign that the legislation was having unintended consequences. To not rectity the law now is callous neglect by @scotgov.

Delighted that the Tour de France 2027 is coming to Scotland, in a historic first. The Grand Départ from Edinburgh will be spectacular - and it’s a real vote of confidence in Scotland as a top destination for major events.

My first appearance on @bbcdebatenight tonight with @EmmaRoddickSNP, @BrianWhittle, @zubirahmed and Alan Taylor. A great panel. Expertly hosted by @StephenJardine. Great to be part of the conversation! #bbcdn @ASSCnews

“The term ‘radical reform’, it gives me the absolute fear… any reform requires data, evidence… driven by the needs of the patient” CEO @FionaCampbell74 and journalist Alan Taylor discuss “radical reform” of Scotland’s NHS #bbcdn

“Any reform that is done needs to be done fairly and compassionately” “We can’t simply just add to the waiting list every single person with a mental health issue” @FionaCampbell74 and @zubirahmed discuss mental health and the benefits system #bbcdn

@bbcdebatenight @FionaCampbell74 @zubirahmed On point regarding business closures and impacts on mental health. STL licensing legislation will be considered one of the most damaging pieces of legislation forced on Scotland since the establishment of Holyrood. What else has destroyed thousands of jobs? @EmmaRoddickSNP
