Johnson Endorses Marra for Scottish Labour Leadership | Edinburgh News

Scottish Labour’s leadership race is heating up as Daniel Johnson, an Edinburgh MSP and one of only three constituency-elected Labour MSPs, officially backs Michael Marra instead of running himself. Johnson, citing recent electoral wins like Rutherglen and Hamilton West, argues Marra’s analytical mind, deep values, and party-wide connections make him the right leader to build on successes and fix past mistakes. With nominations closing August 19th and the new leader announced September 19th, Johnson’s endorsement could be a major boost for Marra’s campaign — signaling a strategic push to unify the party around a clear vision for the future.

Man Sentenced for Fire That Trapped Family | Edinburgh News

Craig Higgs just got seven years for setting a fire in an apartment building hallway in April 2022, trapping his ex-partner and a five-year-old child inside—forcing firefighters into the smoke with specialized gear. Caught on camera approaching the building with a lighter, he was arrested hours later. The court saw the evidence and convicted him of deliberate arson, a calculated act that nearly killed innocent people. His history of threatening behavior toward his ex made this even more chilling. Prosecutors emphasized that domestic abuse isn’t just physical—it can be deadly and community-wide. They’re committed to accountability and victim support. If you’re in danger, help is available—don’t stay silent. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
