IT'S OFFICIAL: Your newest Scottish Conservative MP, @DLumsden_MP ⬇️

[Conservatives @Conservatives]

After two years of this, it's no wonder Keir Starmer has resigned.

[Douglas Lumsden MP @DLumsden_MP]

Time to get to work! 💪

[Conservatives @Conservatives]

With Keir Starmer gone, Andy Burnham wants you to think he's going to change things.

Here’s the truth ⬇️

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

The country is not being governed and Labour say there won't be a Prime Minister till September.

Keir Starmer is off on a farewell tour and Andy Burnham wants a summer holiday. Neither is thinking about our national security.

We need to cut welfare and fund our military.

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

The argument sounded clever: Conservatives have never won in Makerfield. Do a deal with Reform. Stand down and they’ll do the same in Aberdeen “Unite the Right”.

I decided it was more important to Unite the Country. That’s why we won in Aberdeen.

My piece in Daily Mail below 👇

[Priti Patel MP @pritipatel]

Enough of this shameful nonsense.

Labour supports giving children as young as 11 drugs to block puberty.

This child abuse will stop the natural development of children’s bodies through puberty.

This is an abhorrent practice and must stop.

Why wont Labour let children be children?

If like me you agree that this should be stopped, sign our petition below. ⬇️

Labour are pressing ahead with plans to give puberty blockers to vulnerable children as young as eleven.

Sign our petition to demand Keir Starmer stops this absurd and dangerous trial ⬇️

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

It is NOT ok to experiment on kids as young as 11 and make irreversible changes to their bodies.

We must protect children from dangerous ideology.

Conservatives will not just sit back and let this happen. I refuse to believe MPs, if given the chance, would let this continue. That is why we will force a vote, not just to pause this trial but to stop it completely.

[Claire Coutinho @ClaireCoutinho]

The Government have quietly announced that they will push ahead with their Puberty Blocker Trial.

Children as young as 11 will be given drugs that can lead to loss of fertility and bone density.

No child can consent to this. The trial must be stopped.

[Conservatives @Conservatives]

Britain needs an economic revolution.

Here’s how we will deliver one ⬇️

[Conservatives @Conservatives]

Aberdeen South, thank you for putting your faith in @DLumsden_MP.

We will repay that trust.

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

This is what it feels like when common sense wins.

Aberdeen backed oil and gas, jobs, energy security and a local champion who will fight for the city he calls home.

Congratulations @DLumsden_MP. Let’s get Britain working again.

[Conservatives @Conservatives]

The people of Aberdeen have sent a clear message to Keir Starmer and John Swinney.

Unlock the North Sea. Get Britain Drilling.

[James Cleverly🇬🇧 @JamesCleverly]

When people see what Reform is like in office, they change their minds about Reform.

Conservatives win Aberdeen South from the SNP!

Watch @KemiBadenoch’s victory rally with @DLumsden_MP in Aberdeen👇

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

While the Press will be focused on the battle for the Labour leadership and Conservatives celebrating our win in Aberdeen, there are two people I want to pay tribute to.

The first is @Winstamike who was an excellent candidate for us in Makerfield. He represented our party with grace, dignity and competence. The result was no reflection on him but on the circumstances of a peculiar by-election where the question was not “who would be the best representative?” but “should Andy Burnham challenge Keir Starmer for the Labour leadership?”

The second is @j_cruickshanks whose valiant efforts in Arbroath and Broughty Ferry took us from 3rd behind Labour to 2nd place, increasing the Conservative vote share.

By-elections can be more intense than general elections because of the focus and scrutiny. I am proud of all our Conservative candidates this morning. Part of a strong, united team.

.@KemiBadenoch's statement following Douglas Lumsden’s victory in Aberdeen South ⬇️

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

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.

[Conservatives @Conservatives]

Congratulations to @DLumsden_MSP, the new Conservative MP for Aberdeen South!

[Harriet Cross MP @HarrietCross_MP]

This is a PHENOMENAL result for Douglas, @Conservatives and for the oil & gas sector.

This election was a referendum on Gov’s oil & gas policy.

Aberdeen has sent a massage could not be clearer…

👉 Back the oil & gas sector.
👉 Protect jobs.
👉 Get Britain Drilling Again.
