It is an honour to represent the Highlands and Islands in the Scottish Parliament as the region’s newest MSP. I’m keen to hear from constituents so please get in touch if I can be of any assistance. To stay up to date, follow this page.

Now it’s official. Scottish Conservatives are in second. It’s either me or Humza Yousaf’s chief spin doctor. In contrast I have been a teacher in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire for 25 years.

Farmers hopes were raised slightly last week with rumours of a Labour u-turn on the Family Farm Tax. But the Farming Minister has confirmed that these cruel measures are here to stay. An utter betrayal of our farmers by Labour. https://t.co/ic4EtlGc8q

From the very south to the very north, we’re working hard for Rural Scotland. @fincarson and I are fighting SNP centralisation, backing local services and supporting farmers and fishermen. Next year give us the chance to continue, help us stand for you, vote @ScotTories

I’ve organised a public meeting where the public will be able to raise concerns about plans for Moray Flow Park. All welcome to come along 👇

One minute Moray SNP agree to an all party approach to working towards a new Buckie High School, and the next they are withdrawing support. As an ex-councillor for the area I welcome any and all discussions that will lead to improvements or a new build. https://t.co/b0mPxKxrCp

🐟 Scotland's fishermen know our waters best. The work they have done in recent decades has improved fish stocks and our marine environment. Their views should be at the forefront of government decisions, not those of American lobby groups. https://t.co/nwAfvBpKEw

The SNP promised 800 more GPs by 2027, and they haven’t even recruited half that number yet. What makes anyone think that they will deliver seven-day a week walk-in GP services?

I fully support the Mull community as the case for the Mull Campus goes to the Court of Session today 👇

I’ll be holding a public meeting in November (exact date tbc) with the CEO of Moray Flow Park. I know there is a significant amount of public concern about the plans. Keep an eye on my page for updates or you can email me to register interest.

The SNP and Greens just ganged up to vote against a bill which would help prevent more drug and alcohol deaths. Let that sink in.

I recently wrote to Lloyds to express concern about reports of branch closures, including some in the Highlands and Islands. I’m also urging Link to implement banking hubs in Nairn and Dingwall as soon as possible. https://t.co/0SqP4e7gFF

The next time someone asks me about independence, I'll simply direct them to this - Brilliant analysis from @alexmassie https://t.co/ZxudQaUcme

We're back! Brilliant Speech! 👏

💪 A very passionate and energetic speech from @KemiBadenoch at the Conservative Party Conference. 🚜 Great to hear that the next Conservative Government will abolish Labour’s cruel Family Farm Tax. #CPC25

The SNP are releasing yet another new Independence paper today. 🥱 That our NHS is in crisis and we don't yet have a winter preparedness plan apparently is not a concern!!! Time for the SNP to go!

Ferry access to Campbeltown has been sacrificed for a fourth year running because the SNP has failed to deliver enough new ferries. What a shambles. 👇🏽 https://t.co/m0iZZ3MUlZ

The SNP promised 800 more GPs by 2027. But its flagship programme to help hit that target has only delivered 16 new GPs. Yet another SNP flop.

Very pleased to support the upcoming Scottish Women and Girls in Sport Week. We have seen amazing progress for women’s sport and it’s fantastic to see. There’s already a lot to celebrate and I look forward to seeing even more opportunities for women in sport going forward.

Some good advice from @SPEnergyNetwork ahead of the bad weather over the next few days. Keep an eye on official channels such as @PoliceScotland, @trafficscotland and various others to stay informed of the latest updates.

🎣 Every day Scottish fishermen face the issue of spatial squeeze due to offshore wind farms. The Scottish Government talk about the issue, but never take any action to solve it. The Scottish fishing industry deserves better. https://t.co/PhcLXyU44e
