And it's official, Dr Neil ๐ฎ ๐ ๐
I am so grateful to my incredible supervisor, and to those nearest and dearest to me who supported me every step of the way
Shaped by legends, full of experience, and a passion for his home community
And top of all that, a really kind-hearted man, and good friend when I've needed it
@DavidGreen4CSR will be a cracking MSP for Caithness, Sutherland and Ross. And he's only just getting started
Our Caithness, Sutherland and Ross MSP David Green made his first speech as an MSP today.
His speech focused on access to healthcare in the far north and the memory of the late Jim Wallace.
Been thinking of him a lot since the election
How proud he would be of our Highland revival
And how much work we still have to do
Our fight for a fair and equal society goes on, and I am proud to still support that fight
1 June 2015. Charles Kennedy died (aged 55). He led the Liberal Democratic Party through 2 general elections in 2001 and 2005, increasing the partyโs number of seats to their highest level since 1923 and he led his partyโs principled opposition to the Iraq War.
SNP ministers donโt seem to care that the government-owned water company dumps millions of litres of sewage into our rivers, lochs and beaches.
We have a plan to clamp down on sewage dumping, replace outdate rules and standards and get to the bottom of this disgusting practice.
๐งต: This is why there must be a public inquiry.
We cannot let this happen again in any political party.
The choice is clear: bury our heads in the sand, or take full responsibility and act to make sure it never happens again.
That choice rests with @JohnSwinney.
๐งต: This is not normal.
I've spent a long time this week thinking about the SNP financial scandal.
Whatever your political views, there has clearly been an abuse of power that demands serious scrutiny and action to ensure it can never happen again.
๐งต: Political parties exist to represent the public. Many of us contribute our time, money and trust to them.
That is why difficult questions must be asked about how an organisation as large and influential as the SNP allowed this situation to develop over such a long period.
The fact the SNP think independence is the most pressing thing Parliament could debate suggests the government is set to waste the next 5 years.
We need to be focussed on fixing the NHS and care, helping people with the cost-of-living crisis and fixing the roads and the ferries.
This is horrifying
No one should fear for their lives based on their decisions on the pitch
The SFA cannot ignore the problems in our game any longer, top to bottom.
From me to you, thank you ๐๐ถ
To everyone who put their trust in me with their vote
To those that didn't
To my amazing team for all of your support
And a massive well done to @EmmaRoddickSNP on her win and to @VoteEwing for all of his years of service to the Highlands
What a result in Scotland! I am delighted for Alex Cole-Hamilton and our incredible Scottish team. We have shown that the Liberal Democrats are back in Holyrood. We are ready to work for Scotland and deliver the real change voters deserve.
And that's us! ๐ถ
What a day, what a campaign
From the bottom of my heart, a massive thank you to every single person in my amazing team for all of your support
And a massive you to the good people of Inverness and Nairn. I've loved getting to know you all, every minute of it
Todayโs the day Inverness! ๐ณ๏ธ
Itโs been 19 years of SNP neglect for our community, and itโs time for a change. I hope youโll vote for me in todayโs election!
It would be my honour to be your next MSP!
