Businesses and residents in the Highlands are voicing strong opposition to plans for the SNP’s tourist tax to be introduced in the area. I raised this with ministers – it's disappointing none of the front bench team who actually represent the Highlands had anything to say.

Huge congratulations to Lewis on his win. He’s been writing some great stories here in Moray for Northern Scot but also drilling into detail on major issues that has got national coverage. Really well deserved. 👏

It was good to meet the new Chief Executive of Moray Council, Karen Greaves, earlier today. Lots to discuss about council issues and wider matters that affect local people and businesses here in Moray.

A good read from Tim Eagle MSP in the Mail this weekend on how Labour and the SNP are pushing farmers to the brink. My Scottish Conservatives colleagues and I will continue to stand up for rural Scotland and fight back against the damaging polices coming from Edinburgh and London.

This morning, the Scottish Parliament's Health Committee continued their consideration of the Right to Recovery Bill. By allowing the Bill to progress, we can give the most vulnerable people in our society hope and ensure the deaths of thousands of Scots have not been in vain.

The SNP’s tourist tax would have a damaging impact on the Highlands & Islands. Residents and businesses don’t want it. It should be dropped.

NatureScot say gulls in Moray and across the Highlands are not posing a risk to public health or safety. That is complete and utter rubbish. When will the SNP finally get a grip of this situation and allow local communities to control the menace of gulls in their area?

Top Tory team out tonight for Richard Nelson who serves his community as an NHS nurse and a councillor. Richard is the BEST candidate in next week's Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse by-election. On June 5, cast a common sense vote for Richard.

My Dad died from a stroke. He was failed by systemic gaps in Scotland’s NHS—most shockingly, the lack of 24/7 access to thrombectomy, a life-saving stroke treatment. This front page must be a turning point. Scotland needs 24/7 stroke surgery. No more delays.

This week I made the case for Parliament’s Health Committee to pass the Right to Recovery Bill at stage one. Failing to do so would send an alarming signal to those in need of help, and indeed wider society, that we think we've done all we can to tackle drug and alcohol misuse.

Another big Scottish Conservatives team out in the final few days before the Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse by-election. On Thursday 5th June, a vote for Richard Nelson is a vote for common sense.

Complacent SNP ministers must give our police, prosecutors & courts resources they need to do their jobs and recover this money. Hard-working Scots will be appalled that this money is not being repaid by offenders, especially at a time when SNP cutting services & hiking taxes.

The Scottish Conservatives are the only party standing up for our oil & gas industry and the tens of thousands of jobs it supports.

Out in Larkhall today with MSP colleagues and volunteers supporting our fantastic local Scottish Conservative candidate Richard Nelson. 🗳️ On Thursday, a vote for Richard is a vote for a strong local champion.

Well worth a read from Rt. Hon Ben Wallace and Rt Hon Sir Grant Shapps 👇🏻 If the Prime Minister’s rhetoric on defence is to mean anything, his government must properly fund our armed forces. thetimes.com/uk/defence/art…

I have been trying to meet with the Presiding Officer since I was removed from the chamber last week. Today she claimed not to be aware of my numerous requests for a meeting. Do her officials really decline meetings with MSPs without her knowledge?
