Incredibly proud to have served as the campaign manager for the Scottish Conservatives in the South of Scotland and to have helped defend the blue wall across the border against the odds! 🗳️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙

She owns a business, of course she is a Tory

Well @AlanJZycinski why not say your ‘devastated Largs shop owner’, 👇wasn’t looking so devastated when she met her Tory branch manager this afternoon?👇

Lots of empty seats at this Reform press conference Pretty much entire audience (except journalists) has been moved behind the stage and even that stand isn’t full At least one party aide is filling it out

John Swinney and SNP Ministers skived off Holyrood to campaign in Aberdeen

Exclusive: The First Minister, Neil Gray and Siobhian Brown were given permission to miss days at the Scottish Parliament in a desperate attempt to keep hold of Stephen Flynn's Aberdeen South seat.

This just sums up the SNP… constantly backtracking on their latest comments about oil and gas. Only the Conservatives will champion Scotland’s North Sea oil and gas industry.
Marko Polo@markthehibbyOct 22
SNP furious they’re missing from #BBCQT. But who’d they send? 👉 “No Greater Champion” Flynn, who dodged Jackdaw Qs the other day? 👉 Brown in his Tommy Cooper “support it, reject it” suit? 👉 Swinney, who cheered Nicola’s anti-oil speech? SNP: STRONGER FOR DRILLING BOTH WAYS!

Today's announcement to approve Jackdaw didn't just happen. It followed huge pressure from the @Conservatives and the public to get Britain drilling. And we're only just getting started.

Too little too late from a First Minister who seems unwilling to welcome the jobs, investment, energy and security and tax receipts which flow from our vital oil and gas sector.
John Swinney
@JohnSwinneyOct 21
🧵 I hope today’s announcement on Jackdaw will provide some certainty for the North East after many years of difficulty thanks to UK Government policy. It must also kickstart a renewed drive to deliver our long-standing clean energy ambitions.

🚨 WATCH: Green MP Ellie Chowns attacks Andy Burnham for approving Jackdaw gas field instead of keeping fossil fuels "in the ground" Burnham: "Can I just say that the gas would still be needed? It would just be imported from somewhere else if we didn't use our own" #PMQs

Aberdeen South spoke loud and clearly The Labour government has finally listened and approved Jackdaw It’s now time, Labour gets on and approves Rosebank too!
Conservatives
@ConservativesOct 21
After months of dithering and delay, Conservative pressure has finally forced Labour to approve Jackdaw. This should be the start, not the end. Labour must approve Rosebank, end the ban on new drilling licences, and scrap the Energy Profits Levy

Scotland needs an opposition focused on holding the SNP to account, not fighting amongst themselves. We’ll continue to stand up against the nationalists’ damaging policies, challenge their wasteful spending and fight for a fair deal for Scotland’s taxpayers.

Cliveden House burnt down in 1849. The architect behind Parliament rebuilt it in two years. Now, Parliament has spent over a decade just planning its own repairs. What happened to the country that built things? 👇

Kemi and I visited the Malcolm Group, a great Scottish success story. From their Renfrewshire HQ, the family firm employs 2,000+ people UK-wide in logistics, construction and maintenance. The Conservatives are determined to cut the crippling costs of doing business.
