Laura Mitchell

SNP MSP for Moray

[Jack Middleton @jackmiddleton95]

Serious questions to be asked about Ofcom's conduct throughout this process.

Broadcasting reserved to WM but Labour refused to intervene.

Today we've lost a trusted local news institution & more high quality staff are at risk of losing their jobs.

I promised during the election campaign I’d be a strong voice for Moray in Parliament.

Here’s just some of what I’ve been up to this week as Moray’s new MSP…

[Laura Mitchell @MorayLaura]

@larabirdsnp Congratulations Lara! Look forward to knocking some doors for you!

[Laura Mitchell @MorayLaura]

Congratulations to all my @theSNP colleagues appointed to Government today. Excited to see @JohnSwinney’s ministerial team take forward Scotland’s priorities and delivering for every corner of the country, including for people in Moray.

I love this country and it is the privilege of my life to be elected as your First Minister at @ScotParl today.

[David Linden MSP @DavidLinden]

Classy, generous and warm speech from First Minister @JohnSwinney after being nominated by Parliament as First Minister. FM has set a high bar for all of us to engage constructively as we start off this seventh session of @ScotParl.

[Scottish Parliament @ScotParl]

Parliament has voted to select John Swinney as the next First Minister of Scotland.

[Laura Mitchell @MorayLaura]

An absolute privilege to follow in the footsteps of @RichardLochhead to represent the best constituency in Scotland.

[Richard Lochhead @RichardLochhead]

My new MSP @MorayLaura stopped by to say hello!

I couldn’t be more proud of my successor and the people of Moray! @theSNP

[Laura Mitchell @MorayLaura]

THANK YOU MORAY!

What an absolute privilege to be elected as Moray’s new MSP.

I love Moray and will work every day to repay the trust that has been placed in me.

I’m excited to get to work and to play my part to improve the lives of people who live here.

[Laura Mitchell @MorayLaura]

What better way to spend eve of poll day than in beautiful Speyside!

I love Moray and really hope you’ll put your trust in me and @thesnp to represent you, and our community, tomorrow.

@DouglasRob0 I don’t need to. I live here. I’ve spent months meeting with people in the sector here. Supply chain and all.

Folk can carry on with the silliness. I’ll get on with campaigning for the UKGov to really get behind the sector by reducing duty, which is much needed.

[Laura Mitchell @MorayLaura]

Ridiculous furore about the FM and the whisky tariffs. In Speyside - the biggest whisky producing region in the country - those working in the industry have been v grateful for @JohnSwinney’s leadership. Everyone delighted by the outcome and hopeful we can now focus on growth. 🥃

[John Swinney @JohnSwinney]

I consistently stood up for Scotland’s whisky industry against US tariffs, and I am delighted that the tariffs have been lifted.

I am standing to lead a government that gets things done. The SNP will always stand up for Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
