Great insights from WRAP UK: higher price doesn’t always mean better quality. Six of the ten most durable t-shirts cost under £15 - and durability is key for reuse and a circular economy.wrap.ngo/media-centre/p…

Pleased to see my motion celebrating the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary dietitians’ recycling success featured in the RMAS newsletter. Great recognition for a great team!

Having shadowed Kate Forbes in different roles, I respect her as a political opponent and admire her talent, conviction & courage. Her departure will be a serious loss to Holyrood and what remains of the moderate, pro-business wing of the SNP.

We brought the circular economy to the Scottish Parliament Festival of Politics today. Insightful presentations by Dr Lynn I. Wilson FRSA, Kerry Morrison, and Dr. Nicki Souter sparked great conversations on making sustainable choices that matter. 🌍♻️

"It's all about making small decisions that saves money, saves time, and helps the planet." Maurice Golden spoke with That's TV about participating in this year's Festival of Politics event, which took place at Scottish Parliament.

Absolutely gutted to see Graham Simpson leave the Scottish Conservatives. I don’t agree with his decision, Reform are not the answer to making Scotland a better place, but I will miss him as a party colleague.

Great to welcome Maurice Golden to The Glendronach Distillery in his constituency, North East Scotland, and hear more about their investment ahead of marking their 200th anniversary next year - a great asset to the community and the industry, demonstrating that #WhiskyMakesScotland 🥃

Had a fantastic visit to The Glendronach with Scotch Whisky Association this week. With their 200th anniversary next year, it’s exciting to see major investment going into growing global sales to help open new markets for Scotland’s national drink. 🥃

The re-opening of The Belmont Cinema will be a huge win for Aberdeen - not just as a cultural venue, but as a vibrant community hub. My thanks to Chief Executive Matt Buchanan for the tour and for his passion in bringing this iconic space back to life. 🎬👏

"It's going to be an absolutely brilliant community space." Maurice Golden discussed his recent visit to The Belmont Cinema as the fundraising campaign says it aims to to reimagine, refurbish, and reopen The Belmont Cinema for the cultural benefit of everyone in Aberdeen.

Great to meet Buchan Offshore Wind to hear about their almost 1GW floating turbine project off Fraserburgh. A major step for Scotland’s climate goals - and a big boost for our supply chain.

Business support in Scotland is too often convoluted and confusing - a point I raised with the Deputy First Minister. Encouraging to hear her acknowledge current successes. With the right backing, we can unlock higher growth, more jobs and greater prosperity.

Scotland’s public transport isn’t built for rising heat - and commuters are feeling it. It’s a small but urgent reminder that climate action can’t wait. We need sensible action, with the public on board. My comments in The Herald.👇heraldscotland.com/news/25465584.…

We were delighted to show off RRS Discovery to a group of local political representatives, including MPs, MSPs and representatives from Dundee City Council last Friday during our Discovery 100 event in Dundee.

Great to visit the RRS Discovery in Dundee with Liam Kerr & fellow local representatives as part of the Discovery 100 celebrations. This 21st century research ship carries forward the legacy of its historic namesake - exciting to hear about its oceanographic mission. National Oceanography Centre
