Lots of really interesting conversations on the doorsteps in Perthshire today while helping @murdo_fraser. Plenty of local issues raised - rural residents are definitely being let down by the SNP and Labour!
Ironic that President Trump will be hosting Starmer and Swinney in Aberdeen- the oil capital of Europe. Something he proudly boasts but they run from. Like or loathe him, he is doing more to defend the North Sea than our British or Scottish Governments. 👇 telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/07/1…
🔴BREAKING Netanyahu to Macron: Let’s be clear: the Palestinians do not seek a state alongside Israel; they seek a state instead of Israel. The truth is as Netanyahu said.
It’s weeks like this, when the world feels so dark for Jews and antisemtism so relentless, that I miss my great-grandmother’s light, hope and optimism more than ever. Wishing everyone a nice weekend and Shabbat Shalom… and no, I won’t be at “Shabbat school” tomorrow ❤️
Opposition politics - easiest job in the world. Blame the government for everything, oppose everything, promise the world and all its riches when you’re in power. #doctorsstrike
I agree. As I teacher I don’t strike. Whatever issue I have with my employer the pupils will not suffer.
Doctors shouldn’t strike.
Who could have possibly seen this coming, apart from everyone? Womp womp.
This is 💯 on the Labour government. Shameful.
Labour MPs: Uni educated: 90% Millionaires: 75% White collar: 87% Blue collar: 12% They've done a terrific job of making the working class think that they understand and represent them. Truth is they're more at home in Islington than a working persons' club. Source: Grok 4
🔵 Great to be in Huntly speaking to residents and delivering my summer leaflet with our fantastic local MP @HarrietCross_MP. The main issue again on the doors is the severe underfunding of Aberdeenshire Council from the SNP Scot Gov. Aberdeenshire deserves its Fair Share.
It’s shameful the SNP have forced Scottish businesses to pay over £500 million more in rates than elsewhere in the UK. We are the only party with a plan to support entrepreneurs by passing on 40% rates relief to retail, hospitality and leisure firms. scotsman.com/news/politics/…

US President Donald Trump on French President Emmanuel Macron: "Here’s the good news, what he [Macron] says doesn’t matter. His statement doesn’t carry any weight."
The people of the Highlands have had enough of the industrialisation that wind factories and battery storage sites bring. The @scotgov need to listen and call a halt while we make a plan rather than let the current wild-west approach continue.

“The fatal attraction of the government is that it allows busybodies to impose decisions on others without paying any price themselves. That enables them to act as if there were no price, even when there are ruinous prices paid by others.” - Thomas Sowell.
