Yesterday, the OBR included the production from the development of the Rosebank oilfield in its oil and gas tax revenue projections published alongside the budget. This is despite the Energy Secretary reportedly leaning towards rejecting the field's exploration.
This morning, Lord Moynihan questioned why the Rosebank oilfield has been included in projections, and whether the Government will now back Scottish workers and industry, and approve the field's development.
I’m so delighted by this news. It won't be perfect, but it marks an important cultural shift and sends a clear signal about what is and isn't safe for children. Conservatives in opposition are making a real difference, and children across the UK will be safer because of it.
Today is the 30th anniversary of what happened in Dunblane. That was my town, my people and my precious school. In the storms of now, take a few moments to remember those beautiful children and their brave teacher, who had their lives stolen on that cold, dark day.❤️
Today, the Conservatives in the House of Lords secured a proper impact assessment of the Government’s last minute removal of the compensation cap for financial claims in the employment tribunal.
Only the Conservatives are standing up for business and opportunity.
This Labour u-turn would not have happened without Andrew Griffith and @Conservatives in the House of Lords working together, relentlessly exposing the terrible measures in this bill.
We were the only party mobilising business and workers against it. Very proud of my team! ⭐️
Glad to join @DavidMundellDCT and Alister Jack in a cross party call from former Secretaries of State for Scotland, for the government to #SupportScotch and hold off a hike in spirits duty.
Two years on from the Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel, we remember the 1,200 people murdered and those still living with the trauma of that day.
We must never forget the brutality of those attacks or the hostages still in captivity. My thoughts are with their families and we must continue to demand their return.
Let's be clear: the United Kingdom's Parliament is not unicameral. The House of Lords has a legitimate role in scrutinising, amending and, yes, if it comes to it, voting down legislation it thinks undesirable, unfeasible or unsafe.
New today on @thistlewthorns - the history of CLAN CAMERON. James and I are joined by @DAJCameron, 28th Cameron of Locheil. to talk about his ancestors, the Jacobites, and links with the Commandos. Don’t miss it! https://t.co/rZcUkGGpCI
A very sad loss.
Jamie was a Highland hero: charismatic, funny and warm. He never took himself too seriously but was deeply committed to the causes and communities of his home patch. And respected and admired in return. Farewell to a mentor & friend...

I call bullshit.
You’ve spent the last 48 hours calling me a ‘traitor’ for not drawing attention to a leaked spreadsheet with our special forces and MI6 officers’ names on.
But we’re meant to believe this tweet attacking me as a traitor for having a Jewish wife & family was liked ‘accidentally’ by ‘one of the team.’ You must think we’re all thick.
No. The mask has slipped. Likes are private. You thought nobody would ever know. Unfortunately for you, the racist account who posted the tweet and could see the likes exposed you.
Reform should give you the boot.
