Standing up for Labour in Colinton/Fairmilehead Fountainbridge/Craiglockhart. Predatory capitalism has no place in Scotland. September 30, 2015. September 30, 2015. It is important to note that Michelle Thomson MP appears not to be the focus of the police investigation stemming from irregularities the Scottish Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal may have uncovered (report, 30-09-15). Indeed, Thomson is clear that she has always acted within the law . We need full disclosure from the people at the very top ...

Standing up for Labour in Colinton/Fairmilehead Fountainbridge/Craiglockhart. IndyRef2: Like Kezia and Nicola, I’ll keep all the options on the table. June 26, 2016.

February 2016 – Dr Scott Arthur

https://drscottthinks.wordpress.com/2016/02

Standing up for Labour in Colinton/Fairmilehead Fountainbridge/Craiglockhart. The Vow has been delivered. February 24, 2016. During the 2014 independence campaign I led over 100 Better Together volunteers in an area of Edinburgh which is home to tens of thousands of people. Over that summer each volunteer I trained was told that our message was that a No vote was about securing more powers for Holyrood. This was the vow we made on literally thousands of doorsteps. February 14, 2016. Neil Findlay may well...

October 2016 – Dr Scott Arthur

https://drscottthinks.wordpress.com/2016/10

Standing up for Labour in Colinton/Fairmilehead Fountainbridge/Craiglockhart. Independence at any cost – 2nd Scottish Independence Bill. October 14, 2016. I was one of many Scots that in the aftermath of EU referendum moved from being someone who was sceptical of the benefits of independence to somebody who was willing to consider it. I believed and trusted Nicola Sturgeon when she said she would only act in Scotland’s interests as I assumed this would not lead to independence at any cost . It’s time Nic...

Standing up for Labour in Colinton/Fairmilehead Fountainbridge/Craiglockhart. The truth about why NHS Scotland is cancelling operations. December 29, 2015. Cancelled NHS Scotland operations were. In the news yesterday. 8211; there have been around three thousand cancelations this year. Whilst this makes a change from reports of A&E waiting times targets being missed, the two issues are related. Both are linked to delayed discharge (AKA bed blocking).

This does not mean that we forget what the giants of the Labour movement have achieved, from creating the NHS to establishing a national minimum wage, but we must now entrust fresh faces to take forward Labour values and the social justice agenda Scotland. The challenge is for the Labour to use these activists, a...

The SNP miss their own bed blocking target. – Dr Scott Arthur

https://drscottthinks.wordpress.com/2016/03/28/the-snp-miss-their-own-bed-blocking-target

Standing up for Labour in Colinton/Fairmilehead Fountainbridge/Craiglockhart. The SNP miss their own bed blocking target. March 28, 2016. Nobody in Scotland can be surprised that the SNP’s merger of health and social care comes with a financial black hole. With both the NHS and social care being underfunded, merging these two public services can hardly be expected to resolve the problems they face. She committed 100m to solving the problem. A few months earlier 5m was claimed to be enough. Indeed, the se...
