Dr Scott Arthur

Labour — Edinburgh South West

Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 January 2026

Debate

Call for General Election

Contribution

I think I am being slightly misrepresented, or perhaps I was unclear. I perfectly understand why people signed the petition. I explained that a lot of people feel left behind by the way the economy has evolved over the last 20 years. People are frustrated, and that frustration has been harvested by parties that offer no solutions to the problems. That is perhaps the point I was making; sincere apologies if I was not clear.
