Kayleigh O’Neill was the Green candidate for Edinburgh North and Leith in the 2024 UK General Election.
As the first Green councillor in Edinburgh’s Forth Ward I am delighted to now be the party’s candidate for the Edinburgh North and Leith constituency.
I think this election campaign will be an amazing opportunity for members and the community. I am immensely proud of the work that I have done in Edinburgh Council to improve accessibility for disabled people, stand up for the rights of trans people, and work to make our communities cleaner, greener and safer.
I am creating Edinburgh as the next Feminist City, I have helped improve the Council’s ‘warm and welcoming spaces’, and most recently, set up a scheme that will send unused medical aids to Gaza and Ukraine.
I will be the voice for those who face relentless barriers and fight every day just to be heard. I would fight to reform the Department of Work and Pensions to abolish unfair and discriminatory assessments.
We have recently heard that benefits claimants who ‘refuse’ to look for a job could lose their right to free NHS prescriptions, dental care and help with energy bills. This is all a criminal plot to allegedly help people back to work. In reality, this is the UK Government once again disproportionately starving and killing disabled people.
In a world of environmental chaos and destruction we need Greens in the room to push for social and climate justice.
