This is a significant result, and I want to start by congratulating @DLumsden_MSP on becoming the new Member of Parliament for Aberdeen South and the newest Conservative MP!

Makerfield was about one man’s job.

Aberdeen South was about thousands of jobs in oil and gas across our country and the future of an entire city.

Yesterday, the people of Aberdeen sent a message on behalf of the whole country. Energy security is national security. They know it is common sense to use our own oil and gas rather than importing it from overseas. They know it is madness to make ourselves poorer, weaker and more dependent at a time when even the government’s own intelligence says we are under threat. The first duty of any government is to keep its people safe. The Conservative Party will always put Britain’s security first.

What makes this result particularly significant is that many people who voted Conservative today have never voted Conservative before. I want to thank every one of them.

Many will have voted for us because they care deeply about Aberdeen and its future. Many will have voted for us because they are sick of the SNP’s shenanigans. Others because they are worried about what Labour’s policies mean for their jobs and livelihoods. Many voted for us because they wanted a strong local champion.

Douglas is that champion. He has lived in Aberdeen all his life. He spent two decades working in the oil and gas industry. He knows this city, he knows its people, and throughout this campaign he brought energy, optimism and a genuine belief in Aberdeen’s future. Wherever he went, he had a smile on his face and a positive message about what this great city can achieve.

The Conservative Party is working to earn the trust of the country again. I am grateful and humbled that Aberdeen looked at the choice before them and decided that the Conservative Party was the party that would fight for families, workers and business.

Thank you, Aberdeen. I will never stop fighting for you. Douglas will never stop fighting for you.

The Conservative Party will keep fighting for common sense, a stronger economy and a stronger country.

While Keir Starmer's future is dominating the political debate this morning, Reform UK's problems should not be overlooked.

1) Hammered in Makerfield in latest by-election disappointment.

2) Lost 2 more council seats overnight, both to the Tories.

3) Tory victory in Aberdeen South shows Reform's claims that the party is dead are wide of the mark.

I hope others may come to the same agreement in the coming months and years and join me, but for now I will be working to try to get rid of both the Labour Council and Labour Government and I personally believe that Reform UK is best placed to do this.

[Adam Paterson @AdamLPaterson]

so I respect and understand that many of my close friends have very close ties with the Conservative Party, but I have made the decision to work with the party who I believe is most able to get rid of this socialist government.

@Milksteak23 @PolitlcsGlobal The polling stations have just closed.

@Met4CastUK I'm above your red line, over 300m and it is raining.

[Adam Paterson @AdamLPaterson]

@ThermoConveyor @Met4CastUK They have now, but yesterday some were further North whilst others were further South.

[Adam Paterson @AdamLPaterson]

@Met4CastUK In that case, maybe it should yellow then because there is still lots of uncertainty on the position of the snow at the moment.

Good morning delivering our latest In Touch newsletters in #Wilsden @ShipleyTories

The Conservative Party I lead is united in its opposition to Labour’s Family Farm Tax.

Britain cannot survive without it’s farmers. We will fight to get this cruel tax reversed.

[Adam Paterson @AdamLPaterson]

@AtakinMarcus @BNHWalker Exactly, these were also the errors that the opinion polls failed to pick up on too in areas with high muslim populations.

[Adam Paterson @AdamLPaterson]

@MarwanData The reason the Conservatives out preformed here is because most people knew who Robbie was and he was a fantastic MP.
