The re-opening of @BelmontCinema will be a huge win for Aberdeen - not just as a cultural venue, but as a vibrant community hub. My thanks to Chief Executive Matt Buchanan for the tour and for his passion in bringing this iconic space back to life. 🎬👏

Had a fantastic visit to @Glendronach with @ScotchWhiskySWA this week. With their 200th anniversary next year, it’s exciting to see major investment going into growing global sales to help open new markets for Scotland’s national drink. 🥃

Great to welcome @mgoldenmsp to @Glendronach Distillery in his constituency, North East Scotland, and hear more about their investment ahead of marking their 200th anniversary next year - a great asset to the community and the industry, demonstrating that #WhiskyMakesScotland 🥃

Absolutely gutted to see @GrahamSMSP leave the Scottish Conservatives. I don’t agree with his decision, Reform are not the answer to making Scotland a better place, but I will miss him as a party colleague.

"It's all about making small decisions that saves money, saves time, and helps the planet." @mgoldenmsp spoke with That's TV about participating in this year's Festival of Politics event, which took place at @ScotParl.

We brought the circular economy to the @ScotParl Festival of Politics today. Insightful presentations by @LynnIWilson, @kmore, and Dr. Nicki Souter sparked great conversations on making sustainable choices that matter. 🌍♻️

Having shadowed Kate Forbes in different roles, I respect her as a political opponent and admire her talent, conviction & courage. Her departure will be a serious loss to Holyrood and what remains of the moderate, pro-business wing of the SNP.

Pleased to see my motion celebrating the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary dietitians’ recycling success featured in the RMAS newsletter. Great recognition for a great team!

Great insights from @WRAP_NGO UK: higher price doesn’t always mean better quality. Six of the ten most durable t-shirts cost under £15 - and durability is key for reuse and a circular economy. https://t.co/tK15dzBFwm

WRAP and Leeds Institute of Textiles and Colour find no correlation between price and durability in first major study of t-shirtsMost expensive t-shirt tested outperformed by one a 30th its price

Great to meet with @CartonRecycling today to discuss upcoming packaging regulations and the new deposit return scheme. Boosting recycling isn’t just good for the planet - it’s good for the economy too. ♻️

Great to meet with @LNER to discuss improving transport links in the North East. The @tallshipsabdn was a fantastic venue - and a perfect example of why we need reliable, high-quality public transport to support major attraction.

Productive meeting with @ScotGrocersFed on the UK’s upcoming deposit return scheme. If done right, it can deliver real economic and environmental gains - but only if we learn from the failures of Scotland’s flawed rollout.

What’s going on? After my campaign, the Scottish Government promised to ban electric shock collars for dogs. Years later, they’re still consulting. Why the delay? My comment in @TheScotsman.👇

The Scottish Government agreed to ban these collars back in 2018 - but seven years later, no ban has happened.

New @ScottishEPA stats show recycling is falling while incineration rises. It’s bad for the environment and a missed economic opportunity. A thriving circular economy could create jobs and drive growth - the Scottish Government should treat this as an economic priority.
