Calls are being made for a major crackdown on drug smuggling at Cairnryan ferry port, following more than 40 seizures at the P&0 terminal in the last five years.
Our reporter Ruth Ridley tells us more:
@RBSBusiness closing Castle Douglas branch is a disgrace.
It leaves the Stewartry with ZERO bank branches.
25% of residents are over 65 many rely on face‑to‑face banking.
1,500+ local businesses depend on it too.
LINK refusing a banking hub is unacceptable.
I’ll push UK Govt to change the criteria ,it’s about more than access cash.
This scandal keeps getting worse for the SNP.
Swinney and Sturgeon’s complex web of stories is finally unravelling which is why a full independent inquiry is essential.
Reform’s false smears against @kemibadenoch on equality under the law, called out from across the political spectrum, are illuminating. For anyone still under the illusion that Reform MPs care about sorting out problems in police policy and training, ponder this:
@GMB
Congratulations to Elspeth Macdonald on her upcoming retirement from the Scottish Fishermen’s Federation.
A tireless and principled champion for Scotland’s fishing industry, she has provided strong leadership through challenging times and been a formidable voice for our coastal communities.
I’ve valued her insight and support greatly. A huge thank you for her dedicated service. Wishing her all the very best for the future. @sff_uk

Scottish Conservatives leader @RussellFindlay1: "Peter Murrell stole at least £400,000 from the SNP and he simply couldn't have done this without the protection of his wife Nicola Sturgeon and his childhood friend, John Swinney." #FMQs
Great to be in Aberdeen yesterday with @DLumsden_MSP speaking with residents ahead of the by-election on 18th June.
The strength of feeling against both the SNP and Labour was clear on the doorstep over their continued lack of support for Scotland's oil and gas sector.
Very uncomfortable interview for @AConstance23 on @BBCRadioScot on the missing £600k ‘ring-fenced’ funds. This issue isn’t going away and will continue to haunt the SNP for a long time to come - and the inevitable inquiry will get to the bottom of it all.
Every life matters.
One law. One standard. For everyone.
This is about justice, for Henry, for his family and for all our children. They deserve better.
John Swinney’s confession today is hugely significant, not least because it confirms that Sturgeon lied to Laura Kuenssberg at the weekend. And if Sturgeon lied about this, what else did she lie about?
... I'll just leave this here....its just a few of my contributions regarding Stranraer Birthing Suite .... a reel of every contribution would have been toooooo long!
Another brilliant morning of campaigning in Aberdeen today.
People here want an MP who will champion the North East and defend our vital oil and gas industry.
On 18 June, vote Conservative to stop the SNP and send Labour a message.
@BeresfordSenga Why are you lying? Here’s @fincarson standing up for local families on this as far back as nearly 8 years ago. Are all Reform’s posts going to be this dishonest?
