It was a great honour to give my Maiden Speech in the House of Commons yesterday afternoon. As Iain Banks wrote: “the future remains malleable, and retains the possibility of change. ".

The SNP once again putting dogma over Scotland's workers and security. A party that isn't patriotic and doesn't care about their country. Only themselves. The @UKLabour government is protecting Scotland and the UK while creating jobs and opportunities.
The SNP’s ban on defence investment is costing Scotland jobs and skills. They blocked a project that could have made Scotland a global hub for fabrication, vital for securing shipping lanes and aid. This isn’t serious govt, it’s student union politics.

Great to join Blair MacDougall to support Julie Ann McHale, the @ScottishLabour candidate for the council by-election in Barrhead on 21 August. As the only true local candidiate she will be a strong and powerful voice for local people. #VoteLabour

Nigel Farage and Reform would see UK shipbuilding decimated and thousands of jobs at risk because of their reckless and amateur approach. They care about their own egos, not on the hard working and skilled workforce that are building the ships that defend our country.

The @UKLabour government is on the side of UK shipbuilding and the 40,000 skilled people the sector employs. By contrast, Nigel Farage has failed to support shipbuilding, showing a reckless, amateur and irresponsible approach to defending our nation.

Spot on from @JohnHealey_MP. Reform are irresponsible, and incapable of standing up for the UK against dictators like Putin.
"That's quite strong, to call him a Putin apologist?"."Well, look at what he said about Putin and Russia.". Defence Secretary John Healey responds to Nigel Farage’s request for Reform peers to join the House of Lords.

Thanks @PaMemorial for a fascinating and emotional tour. The variety of stories reminds us of the sacrifices so many people, and different kinds of people, have made for us in so many different ways. The work @CWGC do across the world is as vital as it is moving. Thank you.
Lovely to meet @GraemeDownieMP, @IainGAnderson, @Elaine35501158 & Gregor at @CWGC #Dunfermline Douglas Bank Cemetery to talk about the work of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.

Miguel has been an incredible Ambassador and I have enjoyed the many conversations we've had on the importance of UK and German relations. Good luck for the future Miguel.
After three incredibly eventful years, it is with a heavy heart that I say goodbye to the United Kingdom. Auf Wiedersehen!
