Great to catch up with Sarah-Jane and the team at @ScotLandEstates today at @BorderUnion
Always great to chat about local rural issues with @Rachael2Win & @John2Win & @ScotLandEstates Board member Lucy Laidlaw
🇬🇧 Amazing start to the Border Union Show with @Rachael2Win! 👋 If you’re here today or tomorrow, please do pop along to our stand and say hello!
💷 Access to cash and banking services is a huge issue in the Scottish Borders. 🗒️ That’s why I presented my petition calling for new banking hubs in Selkirk and Eyemouth to the House of Commons. I’ll continue my campaign so that rural communities can get access to the cash…
💥 A pleasure to visit the Borders Additional Needs Group summer camp today to see all the fantastic activities they have on offer, including football, creative sessions, storytelling, a sensory arcade - and much more, including from @BordersDisSport. They all do amazing work…
🤝 I'm excited for my summer surgery tour - meeting residents in over 75 local towns and villages across the Borders. 🕰️ There’s still time to book an appointment! 📤 Email [email protected] to book now.
🤯 This is unbelievable. They couldn’t care less about our farmers whose lives are being destroyed by their cruel Family Farm Tax.
Too often victims of grooming gangs are blamed, not helped. The problem is not children, it is those who prey on them. The government must do everything they can to ensure victims are properly supported and get the justice they deserve.
Amazing to see the new Berwickshire County Flag flying over Westminster this morning. 👇 Always nice to see a bit of the Borders whilst I’m down here in Westminster.
Always a pleasure to catch up with Marion from the Campaign for Borders Rail. We will keep working hard to ensure the Borders Railway is extended from Tweedbank to Hawick, Newcastleton and onto Carlisle so we can improve transport links, create more jobs and support local…
The SNP's model of water regulation in Scotland has been a total failure. Untreated sewage was released 58,000 times from Scottish sewer overflows in just four years - and just 4% of overflows are required to be monitored! 👇
Farming has the poorest safety record of any occupation in the UK. I fully support @yellowwelliesuk's #FarmSafetyWeek campaign which aims to change the attitudes towards risk-taking and reduce the number of life changing and life ending injuries among farmers. Find out more…
The torrential rain didn’t stop us getting out in Hawick this morning. Long NHS waiting lists and the extension of the Borders Rail were the main issues raised by local residents. I’ll keep calling on the SNP to deal with the crisis in our health service and working with…
I call bullshit. You’ve spent the last 48 hours calling me a ‘traitor’ for not drawing attention to a leaked spreadsheet with our special forces and MI6 officers’ names on. But we’re meant to believe this tweet attacking me as a traitor for having a Jewish wife & family was…
One of the team who post to my X account accidentally pressed like on an awful antisemitic tweet earlier today. I apologise for this. The post also refers to “brown savages”, and is equally racist against me. Clearly it was not intentional. The amount of antisemitism and…
The SNP need to listen to the thousands of local people concerned about the downgrades to Hawick Fire Station. They need to fund our fire service properly so that vital stations like this are not put at risk. If you haven't already, please make your voice heard by completing…
🔵🔴 An amazing day at the Jethart Callant’s Festival
The future of British farming and our food security are being put at risk because of Labour's cruel Family Farm Tax. Alongside @_RobbieMoore, I met with President of @NFUStweets, Andrew Connon, and Director of Policy, @nfusjonnie, to discuss this and more. I will continue to…
At yesterday’s emotional meeting, I heard from rape gang survivors from across Scotland. The national inquiry must be extended to include Scotland - and give victims the justice they deserve. Thank you to @RupertLowe10 for organising and inviting MPs from all parties.
Thank you to John Lamont MP, @John2Win, for attending our event in Parliament yesterday. John spoke with Scottish survivors/whistleblowers, and is committed to pushing for the radical change that is required. Thank you, John.
