From Gretna to Sanquhar, I’ve been out chapping on doors with a top Scottish Conservative team. The message on the doorsteps is clear: we need to stop @TheSNP winning Dumfriesshire next May - and only a vote for @ScotTories can deliver that.

Who thinks the Scottish Government should make emergency stroke care in Scotland available on a 24/7 basis?

A daft ruling that will lead to more states considering their future within these international bodies. It will also be ignored by every major polluting state, while it will hit UK taxpayers when our government spends a fortune defending itself against vexatious legal claims.

Rachel Cunliffe, associate political editor of the New Statesman, agrees with Tory MP Jack Rankin that the UK govt recognising the state of Palestine rewards terrorism. They're both correct.

Rocky performance in the first half, and Butland was definitely man of the first 45, but we came into our own in the second half. Exciting initial signs here. And Gassama…my word what a player.

Sad to learn of the passing of Sir Jamie McGrigor. He was an absolute gentleman and a stalwart of the Scottish Conservatives. I still recall at my first party conference in Perth when Jamie got out his guitar and serenaded the room close to midnight. A real legend.

Great response for a great team on the doorsteps of Langholm. Across Dumfriesshire, residents understand that it’s a straight choice between @ScotTories and the SNP next May.

The trend of Reform UK losing seats they were defending continues…

Absolute clickbait rubbish from STV. You can tell Parliament is on holiday, when this kind of silly season stuff is considered news.

Unbelievable to hear a Labour MP claim farmers have 'unearned wealth'. She couldn’t be more out of touch. Labour just don’t care about our great British farmers - whose lives are being made a misery by their cruel Family Farm Tax. #NoFarmersNoFood @NFUtweets @NFUStweets

Has to be AI surely? No way did Celtic fans invade the pitch after beating a League of Ireland side in a pre-season friendly? If so, it is the most tinpot moment ever for a Scottish football team.

Reform UK has lost two of its cadre of MPs in a year. It is a deeply unserious political party.

Congratulations to @LHRSC on celebrating your 50th anniversary! Delighted to welcome this achievement with a motion in the Scottish Parliament recognising the occasion and all of the work that Lewis and Harris RSC do in the community. Here's to the next 50 years!

The Still Game remake was a bit of a let down…

Robbie Moore comes from a farming background and has done far more to oppose Labour’s Family Farm Tax than anyone in Reform UK. Playing the man and not the ball tells us all we need to know about Reform and their brand of politics.

The news from Aberdeenshire should alarm every pro-UK voter who is thinking of backing Reform UK. Their Councillors tried to put the SNP into power. Fortunately, they failed, but it is a snippet of what they would do if they get into Holyrood next year…

🚨Today’s vote in Aberdeenshire Council shows us Reforms true colours. Instead of voting for a unionist led administration they sided with the SNP. Are we surprised? No. Reform are not a unionist party. ❌ They voted to give the SNP power to lead Aberdeenshire Council today.…
