Former
@ScotTories
Candidate 2024 General Election | Munro Climber | Banker | City Break Enthusiast | Stately Homes Lover | All things Politics, Global Affairs.
Honoured to announce that I have been selected as the
@ScotTories
candidate to stand for the seat of Kilmarnock and Loudoun at this forthcoming General Election.
I am determined to work hard for this great constituency and focus on the key issues. See you on the campaign! 🗳️🔵
Today the Prime Minster called the General Election to be held on the 4th July.
Kilmarnock and Loudoun has a clear choice between me, and the SNP. The SNP have held our community back, neglecting our towns and local services. Fixed on independence.
Back me to deliver for you.
Goodness me, it is marvellous to see this back again after a while. The King and Queen, Prince and Princess of Wales looking quite simply the personification of dignity and Monarchy.
The King and The Queen Consort, accompanied by The Prince and Princess of Wales, this evening hosted the Diplomatic Reception.
Hosted annually at Buckingham Palace, the reception celebrates the presence in London of one of the largest Diplomatic Corps in the world.
It was a privilege to visit
@10DowningStreet
on Monday evening for
@LGBTCons
Christmas Reception.
Excellent speeches by

on our achievements for LGBT equality, and how important it is to have strong representation. Great to see

The rain didn’t dampen spirits too much either! 🌧️🌂
Lots more to do! 💪

Scotland’s most deplorable MSP. Maggie Chapman is from an ilk that is a new level of low. She is a poor parliamentarian and holds the most grotesque views and attitudes for our great nation.
I can assure you Israel, Scotland stands with you in this barbaric terrorist attack 🇮🇱🏴
Penny Mordaunt you are a star. I agree with every word spoken here at the Despatch Box. No theatre, no nonsense, no smoke and mirrors. Just clear, hard, focused facts. We must have more of you in Scotland
@PennyMordaunt
😉🏴🇬🇧
Delighted to welcome Lisa to the Scottish Conservatives, joining our Westminster group. She will be able to do a lot more for Scotland and her constituents away from the broken, festering, thuggish and disrepute SNP group. I wish her every success on the Government Benches (1/2).
A huge welcome to Lisa Cameron MP.
While the SNP continue to fail Scotland, more and more people know that only the Scottish Conservatives are focused on Scotland’s real priorities. 🏴🇬🇧
Great to be out canvassing and supporting

Lovely to visit Catrine and see the work being done to restore and preserve the heritage of the old cotton works and the Catrine Voes.
It has a unique history being one of the first cotton mills in Scotland and longest lasting Gaelic speaking areas in the lowlands.
Managed to catch up with some of the election coverage from last night and saw the slot for Kilmarnock and Loudoun - the first declaration from Scotland too! 🗳️
Kilmarnock and Loudoun, thanks again for the privilege and experience. It has been a pleasure. Routing for you! 💪⭐️
It was an immense privilege to attend the Remembrance Sunday ceremony today at the Cenotaph. Wonderful to see HM The King and members of The Royal Family lead the tribute of the nation as it falls silent to remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
Lest we forget 🇬🇧
Huge Congratulations and well done to Jack and

Had a brilliant time hearing from Alister Jack and
@RishiSunak
on Friday at the

conference in Aberdeen. Clear speeches how
@theSNP

Taking Scotland forward.
#scottories
The tolerant, entitled, individualistic left.
Glastonbury isn’t about music anymore. It’s a leftist, socialist cult that’s all about attacking everything about Britain and what makes us great. These people love chanting Britain down, and even siding with Hamas.
Baffling.
Excellent to see

@ScotTories
Thoughts are with The Princess of Wales and the Royal Family at this difficult time. I wish her a full and speedy recovery.
I am saddened by the persistent media and mindless social media nonsense she has been subjected to.
May she be given the space, privacy and kindness.

Excellent campaign launch by

for the
@ScotTories
this coming General Election.
It is vital in so many seats across Scotland that voters unite and back their Scottish Conservative candidate to get the SNP out.
Enough is enough and time to show the Nats the door.
The SNP say July 4th will be their independence day – and for once they may be right.
Because I think July 4th will be the day Scotland finally votes to be free of the SNP.
The day we finish the job and get the nationalists out for good.
Another great day down in DCT supporting

Managed to have a quick pit stop for an ice cream too! 🍦

Brilliant day down at the Mauchline Holy Fair today. Lovely sunshine, food and atmosphere!
Great to chat with visitors about their priorities for Kilmarnock and Loudoun, and it was clear they felt the SNP are not delivering here or for Scotland.
Back me to deliver for you🗳️
Great day supporting

Completely agree here with my friend
@AndrewBowie_MP
@theSNP
will squander precious time and resources focusing on obtaining a Section 30 order to fight old grievances and kick their mismanagement and failures under the rug of Bute House. Time to focus on the real priorities.
It's all they've got. But it also shows it's not gone away. Make no mistake, if the SNP win more seats at Westminster, all we'll have is years more of SNP MPs agitating for independence instead of working for Scotland. Let's not let that happen. Let's move on.
Huge congratulations to newly elected Robin Kleinman for Dunblane and Bridge of Allan! 🎉🗳
