I stand firmly with them. Staff and students did not cause this crisis, but they’re being asked to pay the price for it. Solidarity with Dundee UCU, UOD Students Against Cuts and all those standing with them. ✊02 Oct 2026 09:00 +0000at://did:plc:ejtzqoim3b3xtpv2rmav3sps/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwuz2yy4gm2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/maggiechapman.bsky.social/post/3mwthboqg4m2aIf you’re struggling with energy bills or keeping your home warm, there may be help available.

But that acknowledgement rings hollow while Labour maintains the ban on Palestine Action, criminalising people for protest and solidarity. 1/201 Oct 2026 09:16 +0000at://did:plc:ejtzqoim3b3xtpv2rmav3sps/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwsjjgvqkq24https://bsky.app/profile/maggiechapman.bsky.social/post/3mwqpqmxmdz2aIt's Climate Week, yet the Tories want us to double down on oil and gas. Jackdaw and Rosebank won’t solve the challenges facing the North East. We need a plan for good, secure jobs and investment in our green economy, with communities having a real stake. We need to change course. 30 Sep 2026 16:01 +0000at://did:plc:ejtzqoim3b3xtpv2rmav3sps/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwqpqmxmdz2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/maggiechapman.bsky.social/post/3mwqjs5kgxv2pIt’s Scotland’s Climate Week, so the perfect time to talk about the role Eden Project Dundee can play in building public support for net zero. I asked Scottish Government what role it sees for the project in helping deliver a greener economy for our future. There’s real potential here.30 Sep 2026 14:15 +0000at://did:plc:ejtzqoim3b3xtpv2rmav3sps/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwqjs5kgxv2phttps://bsky.app/profile/maggiechapman.bsky.social/post/3mwq74wj4ig2nSPSC Aberdeen is holding a special demonstration marking three years of genocide in Gaza at the hands of apartheid Israel.

As a North East MSP, I want to see our region’s incredible skills and expertise put to work creating good jobs for the future. 1/330 Sep 2026 10:00 +0000at://did:plc:ejtzqoim3b3xtpv2rmav3sps/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwq3ihdzec2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/maggiechapman.bsky.social/post/3mwnukittl527Today is World Heart Day, so I was glad to meet the British Heart Foundation team at their Red Bench outside Parliament. The stories behind these benches - with 5 benches across Scotland - are a powerful reminder of the people living with and surviving heart disease. 1/229 Sep 2026 12:50 +0000at://did:plc:ejtzqoim3b3xtpv2rmav3sps/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwnukittl527https://bsky.app/profile/maggiechapman.bsky.social/post/3mwnjduvhmm2iPrivate jets are never essential. Last week I raised concerns about emissions from Dundee Airport. Now, during Climate Week Scotland, the world’s fastest private jet has landed in Dundee from Atlanta for the Dunhill Links Championship. Dundee is facing huge pressure on its council budget. 1/229 Sep 2026 09:30 +0000at://did:plc:ejtzqoim3b3xtpv2rmav3sps/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwnjduvhmm2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/maggiechapman.bsky.social/post/3mwlldvpvgu23I was in Aberdeen yesterday to stand with the counter-protest against Unite the Clans and the far right. There’s no place for racism, hatred or scapegoating migrants in our communities. And I’m not prepared to stand by while groups like this try to make that kind of politics normal. 1/328 Sep 2026 15:00 +0000at://did:plc:ejtzqoim3b3xtpv2rmav3sps/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwlldvpvgu23https://bsky.app/profile/maggiechapman.bsky.social/post/3mwlaxkncwx2pLast week was a busy one in Parliament. 1/328 Sep 2026 11:54 +0000at://did:plc:ejtzqoim3b3xtpv2rmav3sps/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwlaxkncwx2phttps://bsky.app/profile/maggiechapman.bsky.social/post/3mwl2maogjg2i200 Police Scotland officers sent to Portadown. For what? I’ve written to Justice Secretary Neil Gray because I am seriously concerned about the decision to send 200 Scottish police officers to Portadown to support the policing operation around the Orange Order march down the Garvaghy Road. 1/828 Sep 2026 10:00 +0000at://did:plc:ejtzqoim3b3xtpv2rmav3sps/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwl2maogjg2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/maggiechapman.bsky.social/post/3mwggzvy72m2kLooking to get involved in local campaigns?

But so does the air we breathe. We need to be honest about where emissions come from and look at what we can do to reduce unnecessary flights, while protecting the connectivity Dundee relies on. Good connectivity and cleaner air should go hand in hand. 1/223 Sep 2026 15:01 +0000at://did:plc:ejtzqoim3b3xtpv2rmav3sps/app.bsky.feed.post/3mw6z2h4dkk23https://bsky.app/profile/maggiechapman.bsky.social/post/3mw6qxi72qh2sCreativity can be a powerful form of solidarity.

People in crisis deserve support from trained MH professionals, not to be passed from service to service while police pick up the pieces. We need properly funded mental health services there when people need them.22 Sep 2026 09:30 +0000at://did:plc:ejtzqoim3b3xtpv2rmav3sps/app.bsky.feed.post/3mw3w3v7lf42thttps://bsky.app/profile/maggiechapman.bsky.social/post/3mw23coo4ea2aAnother busy week in Parliament.
