Britain will always stand with Ukraine. On your day of independence, we share a clear message: We will continue to stand with you – because that is what the people of Ukraine deserve. Slava Ukraini.

All the SNP government offer is soaring ticket costs and reduced services on our rails. This is economic and environmental vandalism. dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-…

Don't just take our word for it.

Yesterday in Aberdour I met with a group including local residents, the Police, the Chair of Aberdour Community Council and others to discuss concerns over totally unacceptable anti-social behaviour. I’ll be following up with a number of different agencies to ask them to act.

A record 864,366 Scots are stuck in pain on waiting lists due to almost two decades of SNP incompetence.   The SNP’s failure has put lives at risk, undermined the very existence of our NHS and let down the people of Scotland.

The SNP have caused chaos in Scotland's public finances and - as independent experts including the IFS, SFC, Audit Scotland and Fraser of Allander all say - this is a mess of the SNP's own making. (1/4)

The Government is right to have acted on the sale of arms to the Israeli Government, especially on F-16s, which have killed thousands of civilians in Gaza. This is important progress in upholding international law. Ongoing military raids in the West Bank must cease.
