"Banning our own country's MPs is OK, actually" was not on my bingo card for the Conservative spokesperson in the House of Commons today.

Over the weekend, I visited Eilean Dubh Care Home with Alex Cole-Hamilton MSP🔶🇺🇦 and Angus MacDonald — a home that shows how much difference good care can make. Angus is a great champion for the Highlands’ care homes, making the case for urgent investment and support.

Glad to join MPs across Parliament for RABI - the farmers charity's farming-focussed mental health training. Thanks to RABI for organising and to DEFRA for hosting - mental health is a serious issue in the farming community and so sessions like these are extremely useful.

Confirmation that the Kirkwall Post Office will be franchised will be concerning to many, though it is welcome that the Post Office have stated that the branch will not be closed. What matters most is that services are retained and that the branch remains accessible to all.

Challenging the Treasury bench today on the Chancellor's refusal to meet with farming representatives - and her refusal even to answer direct questions about the inheritance tax hike on farms in the House of Commons.

Well said Alistair Carmichael - who calls out Rachel Reeves for not meeting the farming industry. Her budget has hammered farmers, puts their livelihoods at risk and will force many farmers into selling their land. And she doesn’t have the guts to meet them. Shameful.

Many Scots are feeling scunnered and politically homeless right now. There is a home for you with the Liberal Democrats if you believe in bringing decency and respect back into our politics, if you are open and outward looking.

Different parties, and I am never shy about my criticisms of Labour in government - but you could not ask for a better demonstration of the problems with Stephen Flynn's approach to politics than the contrast between his grievance-led, one-line jibe and Paul's response.
