Iโm absolutely delighted to be re-elected as the MP for Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk with an increased majority.
Thank you to all who voted for me and to the
@scottories
team who helped make this happen.
Representing the Borders is an honour, letโs get back to work.
Labourโs move is highly damaging for the North Sea sector and our energy security.
It will put tens of thousands of Scottish jobs at even greater risk.

๐ฝ๏ธ I spoke to STV yesterday following the King's Speech where I outlined concerns surrounding Labour's plan for GB Energy and the lack of safeguards for our oil and gas sector โฝ๏ธ
I will continue to hold the UK Government to account on this!
The King's Speech yesterday will have done nothing to alleviate the real concerns of many in the North East.
Labour's clear hostility to our vital oil & gas industry is putting up to 100,000 jobs at risk.

Shocking scenes from the US with this assassination attempt on the former President.
Our thoughts are with the innocent people killed and injured in Pennsylvania.
In democracies, appalling violence like this will never prevail.
Horrified by the attack in Pennsylvania.
In a democracy, you must be able to speak freely and stand for what you believe in. Violence and intimidation must never be allowed to prevail.
My thoughts and prayers are with President Trump and the victims of this appalling attack.

Visit Scotland have confirmed that they will close Jedburgh's tourist information centre on 30th September.
Tourism is vital to small businesses across the Scottish Borders.
Join my campaign calling on the SNP to prevent this closure ๐
