I’ve always never been able to decide which is Britain’s most beautiful bit: North Devon or the Yorkshire Dales. But I’ve just spent the last three days in the Scottish Borders and now I have an answer. God almighty, they’re beautiful. Also, I bought some cows there.
Although much divides our politics, I want to put on record my thanks and good wishes to @_KateForbes for her support and commitment to the South of Scotland. #CoSS
This morning myself and the Council Convener met with our partners at the campaign for Borders Rail to update them on our continued work to progress the feasibility study for the Borders Railway. #workingtogether#scottishborders
Here’s to 10 incredible years of Borders Railway! You can’t put into context the sheer positive impacts it has had on our region. I am grateful to @JohnSwinney & @FionaHyslop for sharing the day with us as we mark this milestone anniversary and give thanks for their commitment.
I never miss an opportunity to showcase the potential in the Scottish Borders! Today I spoke with the media regarding our continuing development of the Edinburgh region City Deal and also our work with the private sector. #scottishborders#heavyweightregion
When the sunshine’s… get delivering. Great to be out in Roxburgh, Maxton, Heiton, Nisbet, Ulston, Camptown and Oxnam! @ScotTories#ScottishBorders#Jedburgh
Despite getting the wind swept look! I had a great day yesterday out in Ancrum, Lanton, Crailing and Eckford delivering my latest leaflet. I hope everyone has a peaceful and happy Easter. #ScotTories#Borderssunshine
An absolutely fantastic day at the grand opening of #DairyNexus. Funding via the Borderlands Growth Deal will insure the South of Scotland continues to be a place of innovation and growth for our agricultural sector. #SRUC@VoteJardine
Last week I was pleased to join other Councillors in signing a joint letter thanking both the UK & Scottish Government for releasing the Borders Railway extension feasibility funding.
The UK, Europe and the sensible wing of American politics stands with Ukraine! Winston Churchill once stood alone @ZelenskyyUa you are not alone, we are with you!
Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine. History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for.
Today we pay tribute to all those who suffered during the evils & horrors of the holocaust. It is our duty to remember them and to proclaim never again. #HolocaustRemembranceDay
