RBS Giffnock is due to close on 17 Sept 2026. This follows the loss of Clydesdale Bank and Bank of Scotland branches in recent years. I am taking this up formally with RBS owners NatWest and will seek clarity on the closure assessment, cash access assessment and mitigation plan.
This is absolutely ridiculous. Elected members deal with members of the public who have very sensitive situations such as women seeking support for housing after fleeing domestic abuse.
In such situations they can request a female doctor, a female police officer, and should be able to easily find a female MSP of the 8 who serves them.
The same applies to men seeking male support specifically.
Public service should not be hindered to protect the lifestyles of Holyrood’s minority fringe.
The SNP are no friends of our oil and gas industry.
We need to beat them to send a message to Labour that our oil and gas sector needs support.
If pro-UK voters unite behind the Scottish Conservatives in the Aberdeen South by-election on 18 June, we can beat the SNP.
Kirsten Oswald MSP, then MP, to Douglas Ross: “Failing to declare thousands of pounds from multiple side hustles is a clear breach of the rules...”
She also said being an MSP is “supposed to be a full-time job”.
Looks like her former staffer, now SNP MSP colleague, disagrees on both counts.
Good people across Scotland tell me they despair at what the SNP are doing to our country.
So let's unite and do something about it by joining our Scottish Conservative team👇
It’s been a moving day seeing a number of former MSPs sharing their farewells.
But no matter how you cut it, when polls had us down to 7 seats at the turn of the year if someone said 12 we would have grabbed it with both hands.
Big kudos to @RussellFindlay1 for pulling it back.
Thank you for 19 years of service representing East Renfrewshire and Eastwood, and the many years prior to that as an activist, volunteer and member.
We would also like to take this opportunity to everyone who assisted our campaign and voted for Jackson last week.
A new week begins & a new chapter for me, after 19 years at Holyrood, 10 as MSP for Eastwood.
As John Major put it “When the curtain comes down, it’s time to get off the stage.”
To all who gave me their support, thank you for the privilege of a lifetime.
Polls open at 7am tomorrow!
Eastwood is one of the key seats that will determine whether John Swinney gets a majority or not and only @ScotTories can beat the SNP here.
People in Eastwood can re-elect a proven local MSP and defeat the SNP by voting for me on the purple ballot and @ScotTories on the peach ballot.
Final Saturday of campaigning!
