✨ Now there are six!
Fantastic to welcome our new @ScotTories colleague @DLumsden_MP to Westminster this morning.
We'll work together to stand up for people's jobs, energy security, and our United Kingdom. 🇬🇧
I’m old enough to have campaigned for 4 former Aberdeen South @ScotTories MPs; inc Raymond Robertson, Gerry Malone & Iain Sproat. They helped build, promote & secure our vital North Sea oil & gas economy.
Now, more than ever Aberdeen needs an MP who will stand up for the industry & the future of the city itself.
On June 18th make your stand, Vote @DLumsden_MSP
The SNP have been caught out👇
They’re telling voters in Aberdeen they support oil and gas – but their own minister refuses to back more drilling.
If you want a local MP who backs our oil and gas industry vote Scottish Conservative on 18th June and let’s Get Britain Drilling.
Given the clear and widespread concerns about the negative impact of a Visitor Levy, it’s quite unbelievable that the SNP and ‘Novanti’ voted for this!! We need to support our hospitality and tourist businesses not add additional barriers!! https://t.co/971Cw60HXt
Had a great family day out to Port William on World Ocean’s Day.. Thanks to Nick, Paul and everyone engaging and showing us just what is on our doorsteps in wonderful Galloway!…. And of course we had a lovely lunch in The View while being entertained by Shanty singers from the Ship in Drummore @jackie_mccamon #WorldOceansDay
⚠️ Rural Scotland can’t wait any longer.
Budgets cut. Policy unclear. Pressure growing on our farmers.
I asked the question many across the sector are asking:
Will this Government stand up for our national herd and flock — or risk pushing them over the edge?
🎥 See the question for yourself ⬇️
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

... 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!
It’s me or the SNP in Galloway and West Dumfries.
Lend me your vote to stop an SNP majority and let me continue to fight for our wonderful corner of Scotland which the SNP Gov have ignored for the last 20 years.
A vote for Reform or Labour will just help SNP win!!

Here in Galloway and West Dumfries a vote for anyone other than Finlay Carson will let the SNP in. Lend him your constituency vote to stop an SNP majority!

John Swinney is visiting Stranraer today… I wonder if he drove the A75 or A77 and was embarrassed at the state of these critical routes…. Or maybe the community hospital where women CANT choose to give birth or Newton Stewart Cottage Hospital, which is no longer a hospital… the only way to stop another 5 years of SNP is to vote Finlay Carson and the @ScotTories on the 7th May!!

SNP delays to vital road upgrades are holding back jobs and economic growth.
Scotland needs better infrastructure to move goods, support businesses and boost productivity.
Vote Scottish Conservative on your peach ballot to stop an SNP majority.
Another stunning day in Dumfries and Galloway. Had lunch at our regular stopping point! The QoSFC Arena is a regular meeting place and where I often hold surgeries! Ideal location… and the coffee and BLT’s are second to none!!

The central heating may have been broken, but I got the warmest of welcomes from the staff and p6 & 7 at Sheuchan Primary School in Stranraer this morning. Some great questions from a very well informed audience! Better than many of the hustings I’ve attended!!

Had a great morning speaking to constituents in Dalbeattie … but an afternoon off to watch my daughter Vicky captain Team GB in the Gold Medal match in the Bandy Ice Hockey World Championships in Sweden!

Everyone agrees the twin roles of the Lord Advocate - chief prosecutor and government advisor - should be split.
Even the SNP consulted on how to do it…
But in the SNP’s Scotland the inevitable never happens and the improbable always does…
So I moved a Bill to force change.
Rural ambulance technicians deserve a fair route to becoming paramedics.
I raised this in Parliament — and while the FM agreed no one’s geography should limit their career, the Govt has since offered no real action.
I’m calling for:
🔹 A rural blended‑learning pilot
🔹 Recognition of prior learning
🔹 Practical support for staff
Rural Scotland shouldn’t be left behind.
