Hey 👋 Andy Burnham: Stop your daft games. Back North Sea oil and gas NOW.

🥀Ed Miliband = backing oil jobs in Port Stanley…against them in Aberdeen. 👉Drilling in the South Atlantic is good news. 🤔But if new offshore drilling is good for their economy, why isn’t it good for Britain? Labour are all over the place on oil and gas.

When a Chinese wind turbine factory in Scotland was blocked over national security concerns, John Swinney put on a tin-foil hat - saying the decision was "anti-Scottish". Now this👇

This summer, John Swinney was pushing the UK gov and PM to reverse a block on the Chinese-owned Ming Yang wind farm factory. Tonight, The Sunday Times reveals the chairman was named in a Communist regime bribery scandal. SNP due diligence? thetimes.com/uk/scotland/art…

Today at Holyrood I hosted a meeting of female victims of violence and their families. Brave and determined, they raised their ordeals directly with John Swinney. Far too many are failed by Scotland's justice system - and my party is determined to put that right.

Scotland's PISA education performance report is appalling on a brief glance Well below England on reading, science, and maths, but the SNP are insisting it's fine as it's internationally "competitive" In reality it's decades of sustained decline and failure of Scotland's kids.

Breaking. PISA results for 2025 show Scottish pupils are more than a year behind their English peers for maths and science. Also behind on reading. (20 points is equivalent of a year of schooling) 1/4

A government insider told me the cat tail pokes out from the bottom of the person's dress and 'no one is quite sure what it's attached to'. I really thought the civil-servant-dressed-as-a-cat story was nonsense. Well, I was wrong: scotsman.com/news/politics/c…

Civil servants 'made uncomfortable' by colleague dressed as cat in government office

Civil servants have expressed dismay that their colleague has been allowed to dress in such an ‘unprofessional’ manner

🌾 Labour’s Family Farm Tax is a betrayal of the UK’s rural and farming communities. Andy Burnham has the chance to mend this - but it needs action, not just warm words. 🔹 @VictoriaAtkins and I have joined 129 @Conservatives MPs, MSPs and MSs have written to Andy Burnham urging him to scrap Labour’s Family Farm Tax, before it’s too late.
