Unbelievable to hear a Labour MP claim farmers have 'unearned wealth'. She couldn’t be more out of touch. Labour just don’t care about our great British farmers - whose lives are being made a misery by their cruel Family Farm Tax. #NoFarmersNoFood National Farmers' Union NFU Scotland

Happy not to pay the price of admission to #Nato; happy to be under the aegis of Nato and other countries’ defence budgets. thetimes.com/world/ireland-…

📣 In sunny Wigtown holding doorstep surgeries! 🚪 If there’s something you’d like to raise with me—whether it’s a local issue, a concern, or an idea—I’d be delighted to stop by and have a chat. Let’s keep working together to make our communities stronger.

These are unbelievable comments from a Labour MP representing a rural constituency, who clearly understands nothing about farming. I wonder whether she’s told her own farming constituents they “haven’t earned” the often small returns their farms make. Perhaps during a late-night

Again we are left hoping no one is hurt in what looks like a serious incident, with a lorry said to be on fire. And yet again the #A75 is shut. This road needs urgent safety upgrades, not tinkering, Fiona Hyslop

Seems floating solar has a bright future. 🌞

The Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry Report backs our key asks: faster redress, upfront legal advice, & better administered schemes. Yet Govt still hasn’t acted to remove the Horizon Shortfall Scheme from Post Office hands. Read our letter to @JReynoldsMP committees.parliament.uk/committee/365/…

Awful news, and yet again the #A75 involved. Hear too the entirely unsuitable diversion via New Galloway has been affected by vehicles leaving the road. Fiona Hyslop still refuses to turn her Ministerial Volvo south-west to discuss safety on the so-called EuroRoute.

Had a great day out on the doorstep surgery tour in Dumfries today… look out for us in Dalbeattie tomorrow!!

Setting out my concern that the SNP Scottish Government have cynically and systematically deprived resources from areas which don't support independence #dumfriesshireclydesdaletweeddale

And another… hearing a van is on its side on the #A75 near Gatehouse. With two people hospitalised yesterday in a collision (see pic), hope no injuries. And yes, driver education important, but indifference from the SNP and Fiona Hyslop means road improvements are sidelined.

Sunny and warm in the Granite city of the south, Dalbeattie! If you see us out and about on our doorstep surgery tour, please stop us and say hello!

How does the Ferguson deal sit with Scottish Government doctrine that they won’t support munitions, which nearly torpedoed Rolls Royce’s Clyde welding centre? We’re talking warships, not tugboats. Seems John Swinney has more faces than the town clock when it comes to #defence.

No point asking @fionahyslop - she sees nothing on the #A75.

More defence promises from Labour today - but after last week’s chaotic welfare U-turn, it all prompts one very simple question...👇

No pleasure in this. Every serious Party should seek growth. But as Robbie Burns said: ‘Facts are chiels that winna ding’ - the figures don’t lie. Labour isn’t working.

Trench warfare!
