Scottish Conservative & Unionist MSP for Mid Scotland & Fife. Scottish Conservative lead for Justice.

Scotland, United Kingdom
Churchill was 65 when he became Prime Minister in 1940 and led Britain through its gravest crisis. Now @cajardineMP is reportedly being told she’s too old to stand again—at 65. What nonsense. Parliament needs people with experience, not a party treating it as a reason to push them out.
EXC by @_RebeccaMcCurdy: Ousted Scottish Lib Dem MP was told she was too old to stand for re-election. Christine Jardine is 65. heraldscotland.com/news/2658…

Grieving parents want to know why their babies died. The SNP’s proposed maternity review could leave those deaths outside its scope. What an insult. You cannot learn lessons from failures you refuse to investigate. John Swinney must listen to these families, examine what went wrong and give them the answers they have fought for.

This is so depressing. A Green Party election leaflet from Holborn and St Pancras wrapped in a foreign flag, boasting endorsements from The Muslim Vote and Camden Muslim Alliance. This is just naked sectarianism.

Thanks to Steven Kerr MSP for bringing a debate to the Scottish Parliament on policing and the mental health crisis. Huge amounts of Police Officer time is being taken up dealing with vulnerable people in crisis. They need care, support and treatment from health professionals not a police intervention.

RT @ladymcbeth2: Brodie MacGregor called 999 reporting violent Alexander Brennan attacked her. Despite Brennan being on a deferred sentence…

Someone who has worked and paid taxes for 40 years should know the system will be there when they lose their job. Someone fit to work should be expected to find one. @KemiBadenoch’s proposal gives people six months on full benefits to find work. After that, their record of work and contribution counts. People who genuinely cannot work because of serious illness or disability remain protected. That is fair to those who need help and those who pay for it.

Busy making faux social media clips. Busy ignoring the crisis in Sudan. Busy shaking hands with the Iranian theocracy. Busy sidestepping Argentinian threats. Busy petting the Chinese dragon. Busy doing nothing…
A busy week at the @UN.

Torsten, when you find the fool who: 😱 Voted for 330 pages of employment red tape 😱 Hiked NI costs by £25 billion 😱 Jacked up rates on businesses do be sure to tell them precisely what you think.
Like many people across Swansea Bay, I’m deeply disappointed to learn that Admiral Insurance are to cut 500 jobs from its UK business. I’ve asked for an urgent meeting with the company to talk about what happens next - particularly in Swansea.

The Scottish Government cannot tell us how many patients missed out on thrombectomy due to the lack of 24/7 service. The Government must find this out, and collect it annually. The state must know the scale of the problem before it can fix it.

Nothing is safe with the SNP. Everything they touch turns into a disaster. They’ve made a total mess of Historic Environment Scotland. Now one in six museums and galleries fears closure within a year. These places preserve our history, yet the SNP can’t even give them the support they need to keep their doors open.

Heathrow had plans for more runways in 1946. Eighty years later, we’re told its third runway may not open until 2039. China added 84 runways in a decade — one every six weeks. We’re still discussing one. It’s no mystery why our economy stagnates. We are paralysed by hesitation, bureaucracy and a basic lack of ambition.

John Swinney KNOWS that potent synthetic opioids are killing Scots - but he wants to decriminalise possession. I've urged him to rethink this dangerous SNP policy 👇

The SNP’s drugs policy is a disgrace. 1,133 people died last year, up 11%, and John Swinney’s answer is to press for decriminalising possession of all drugs including Class A drugs. Russell Findlay is calling out this soft-touch nonsense. Nearly 20 years in power, and the SNP still won’t put recovery first or wage war on the gangs making fortunes from addiction.

I think this young man should join me one night in an operating theatre as I try to stop a drug user bleeding to death from an exploding femoral artery. Hoisting the flag higher above Bute House won't make this better, but doing some basic government inside just might.....
You’ll never guess who Jack Middleton believes is preventing Scot Gov from taking action on drugs deaths.

Labour are eyeing up coalition partners, and the SNP are preparing their demands for a new Indyref. The only way to stop this happening is to vote Conservative and elect a Conservative Government.

The extremist Greens yesterday attacked Barclays over links to Israel. John Swinney pandered to their anti-Israel nonsense. My response👇

Yesterday we found out that 1,133 drug deaths were recorded in Scotland last year, up 11%. And what do the Greens ask John Swinney about at FMQs? Boycotting Israel. They provide no serious opposition to the SNP and have no interest in the livelihoods of Scots.
