SNP MSP for Midlothian South, Tweeddale and Lauderdale in the Scottish Parliament.

Scottish Borders
Joined November 2011
We are very grateful to @CalumRKerr MSP for hosting us a few weeks ago in Parliament and for speaking out in yesterday’s Cyber Resilience debate in The Scottish Parliament about the work of the Cyber and Fraud Centre Scotland - and the impact of cyber attacks on businesses like Arnold Clark. As Calum rightly points out, Arnold Clark had strong Cyber security and resilience but they were still attacked and re victimised because of the gaps in the law. Many small businesses and organisations don’t have that support. We work hard to support those organisations, however we also stand ready to work with Government, parliament and politicians across the political spectrum on how to close loopholes in the law and protect businesses, public sector, society and our citizens from the harm that cyber and ransomware attacks have on them.

Our new policy paper sets out practical proposals for a fairer non-domestic rates system that supports investment, jobs and growth in rural Scotland while protecting local services. Thanks to all the MSPs who joined us for the launch of the paper today! tinyurl.com/484m5y4b

We were pleased to host Calum Kerr MSP at Eastside Farm, the site of May's Green Cleugh wildfire. Discussions focused on the outstanding response from land managers and firefighters, and the need to reduce wildfire risk across the Pentland Hills. #wildfire #pentlands @CalumRKerr

First holiday since February. A week up in Coigach for some proper rest. It is the perfect place to switch off whatever the weather does, but this week it is putting on a show. Corrie is a very happy chap. Ros is too! 😁 While I recharge, the office is running as normal.

What a brilliant afternoon campaigning in Penicuik with @CalumRKerr and his campaign team to support Calum’s campaign to be elected MSP for Midlothian South, Tweeddale and Lauderdale. I had the privilege of working with Calum in Westminster. He will be a first class MSP

Labour in Westminster decides Scotland’s budget. Anything extra goes to fund our future. Unlike Westminster, we spend everything on Scotland's Priorities. That’s why we need an MSP on Scotland’s side to make sure the money we do get back is spent on what we need. #SNP #VoteKerr

Business innovation and growth is vital to our area. That's why we need an MSP on Scotland's side with a track record of delivering business success. I have that track record. #VoteKerr #SNP

Spot on. And this will be the case in perpetuity because every Westminster government will make decisions based on how those decisions will be received in England (85% of UK population). It’s what makes independent decision making in Scotland for those who live here so compelling
The devolution lesson for all Scottish arms of UK parties is that your Westminster colleagues don’t listen, and don’t care. They’ll throw you under the bus, then reverse over you. More from me on this on tomorrow’s @HolyroodSources Budget special, and in the @heraldscotland

Good Grief. The Western isles have the highest level of fuel poverty in Scotland. And the highest number of over 65’s. I presume this wasn’t the change that people were voting for? Shame on @Torcuil
Of the 37 Labour MPs in Scotland 35 voted to remove the Winter Fuel Payment and two either abstained or didn't turn up. The full list of Labour MPs who voted to remove the WFP with the Scottish seats in yellow.
