An Edinburgh MSP discovered that someone has covered the shopfront at his Leith office with paint on Tuesday.

On ‘X” Ben Macpherson MSP said: “It is frustrating that my constituency office has been vandalised in this way. These sorts of acts achieve nothing meaningful and just waste taxpayers’ money cleaning them up. My team and I continue to work today – to help local people – and will not be deterred.”

Many politicians from all parties condemned the vandalism.
