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




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


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.



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.



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.
