Fantastic to join the first #Gretna Community Producers Market at All Saints Episcopal Church today. Great to meet the team and support a wide range of local producers and voluntary groups from Gretna, #Dumfries and #Langholm. Father’s Day gifts bought too!

Productive day of trade and investment meetings in Boston, and it was lovely to visit Harvard University to discuss strengthening educational links with Scotland.

The irony of two SNP politicians on the fiddle is lost on this pair. As is the irony of seeing SNP politicians defending our vital oil and gas sector. They simply cannot be trusted.

Before politics, I worked in oil & gas so I know how vital the sector is to our city. On Thursday, vote Scottish Conservative in Aberdeen South to send Labour and the SNP a message. We need to get drilling again.

Last stop of the surgery tour today in #Moffat where the state of Dumfriesshire’s roads - and those in the town - was a big concern for residents.

Pleased to be elected as convenor of Holyrood’s Social Justice, Housing and Local Government Committee. Accounting for over 40% of the Scottish government budget there is a huge amount of work to do and scrutiny to conduct. parliament.scot/chamber-and-…

In #Annan today residents raised concerns about 3.2 metre high solar panels at the proposed solar farm around #Chapelcross. The local community is rightly concerned about the impact of these industrial scale units so close to their homes - as the mock up brought today reveals.

Second stop of today’s pop-up surgery tour was #Gretna where the state of the roads, support for church buildings and immigration came up with local residents. I’m keen to engage and happy to help across #Dumfriesshire.

First stop of a busy day of #Dumfriesshire pop-up surgeries today in #Langholm. Lots of issues to deal with including ongoing bus service issues and the need for investment in play park equipment.

❓Did Peter Murrell steal taxpayers' cash? ❓Did he rob SNP members like Margaret Killah? ❓Why did he get legal aid? ❓What were the terms of his secret plea deal? ❓Why was Nicola Sturgeon not prosecuted? No wonder John Swinney's scared of an inquiry👇 #FMQs

Clear and independent evidence that the SNP Government have been underfunding council budgets for years. ❓And why? To pay for a ballooning benefits bill. audit.scot/publications/loca…

Funding for councils is failing to keep pace with rising costs and demand despite a small real terms increase in funding.

Today, @StephenFlynnSNP met the new Chair of the Ferries Community Board (FCB), Mary MacInnes, at @CSoilleir. The FCB plays a vital role in bringing island communities closer, and ensuring their views are reflected in strategic decision-making across the @CalMacFerries network.
