out and about, delivering our post-election “thank you” in Berwickshire. I’ve spoken to many today, and there’s lots of concern from residents in Longformacus about the unwanted data centre proposal.

my newly elected colleague @DuncanLibDem getting down to work in Holyrood - rightly challenging the First Minister on this serious failure of policy & delivery.
SNP promises to reform Scotland's care system have failed to stop babies and infants waiting years for a permanent home. Duncan Dunlop presses the First Minister on Scotland's 'baby blind spot' in our care system.

Brilliant day yesterday at @NSA_Scotland ScotSheep volunteering with RHET and meeting sheep farmers from all over Scotland. Bumped into @DuncanLibDem who has an excellent knowledge of sheep thanks to his rural background, great to see you! 🐑 #scotsheep #sheepglastonbury

#scotland - we have a baby blind spot for children who are in need of permanence within the #caresystem Permanency - the people who will live with them throughout their childhood- is vital as it teaches them how to give and receive #love

With @DuncanLibDem meeting residents at Longformacus exhibition about the Data Centre, hearing concerns and listening to developers’ planning reps. I’m unconvinced by many of the assertions made-it’s unwanted development, in the wrong place. Petition c.org/bWzTbzV4js

3/ the reality is this data centre plan for Longformacus is totally unsuitable for this location , extraordinarily large industrial development in totally the wrong place. Meetings for the data centre take place in early June - I will be attending and making my views known.

2/ the timing related to today’s announcements of the massive data centre proposal for Longformacus is very unfortunate - the proposers say the site is necessary to access renewable electricity - but the Windshiel developers Alerion Ltd say they are not connected (literally).

just back from the public exhibition at Duns Volunteer Hall about the proposed Windshiel wind farm - reserving judgment until I’ve seen more details later in year-initial reaction is that there is high visual impact but let’s see how the developer responds to public reaction. 1/

Our South of Scotland MSP Duncan Dunlop made his first speech at Holyrood today. His speech focused on the failure of the SNP Government to fulfil the Promise to care experienced young people and the need to overhaul the care system in Scotland.

This speech is as good and as powerful as others have been saying. And it has restored a little bit of my faith in the potential of the Scottish Parliament. Well done @DuncanLibDem.

Oh God, from this man we have real stuff, real heartbreak we as a country should be prioritising, not the self indulgent mutterings from overpaid vacuous chancers re ‘the constitution’ Bravo @DuncanLibDem Best of luck.

"The reality of the situation is stark. This is a crisis because too many people have died since promises were made. If we want to be ambitious for Scotland, let us start with our children." @DuncanLibDem

Thanks Peter.
Can't remember a more powerful first Holyrood speech. @duncdunlopwas ex-CEO of @whocaresscot on @NicolaSturgeon's failure (as he sees it) over 'The Promise' to children in care and the care-experienced. Passion, frustration, a call for action. youtube.com/watch?v=sgi-f862…
