I am very sorry to hear that Lord Lothian has died. He was on such great form at Ferniehurst earlier this summer, making a heartfelt speech to welcome the Jedburgh Callant during the common riding festival. My thoughts are with his family and friends.

Tonight I stand with @TessWhite4NE The debate on protecting women only sport was respectful and fair. Sadly, Maggie Chapman and Karen Adam didn’t take any interventions from the Scottish Conservatives leaving many of their ideological assertions unchallenged.

Scottish Greens MSP @MaggieChapman says @TessWhite4NE 's motion "echoes toxic narratives". Chapman says she stands with trans people and will do for "as long as it takes for this poison to be washed from our politics, our media and our life".

Recently, I asked serious questions about women only spaces at rape crisis centres across Scotland - the SNP minister failed to answer. I have since repeated the questions in a letter. Victims deserve a response 👇

The SNP shout for more powers, but a 1/3rd of them didn’t bother turning up at the Scottish Parliaments’ 25th Anniversary of Devolution, attended by the King and Queen at Holyrood,

I am privileged to have been chosen by @RussellFindlay1 to take on the role of Scottish Conservative Deputy Leader. I’m excited to get to work and help show that the @ScotTories will deliver for those who want to see politicians talking common sense, for a change.

Yesterday, we considered legislation which would continue financial support for certain rural projects over the period 2025-30. But we had concerns about the lack of consultation. Listen in as @Rachael2Win explains👇

This announcement is a belated victory for common sense and must be embedded in Police Scotland, the wider justice system, and all public bodies. The safety and protection of women and the safeguarding of single-sex spaces must always come first.

‘Joy. It is hard to think of a word less suited to the reign of Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves, those walking mirth sponges, with their fusspot paternalism and lanyard-knows-best petty despotism.’

The moral cowardice of MSPs ignoring the Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre scandal is sickening. My @scotonsunday column:

Women only spaces were not provided to survivors of rape. Vulnerable woman were damaged by a lack of support from ECC and described as bigots. A service designed to protect women, failed women.

After sustained pressure from the industry, rural communities and the @scottories , the SNP have u-turned on their wood-burning stove ban. However, this is only temporary and we will continue to call for this ban to be permanent and compensation for businesses already affected.

Ten years ago Scotland overwhelmingly voted to remain part of the United Kingdom. Here in the Borders, 67% of people voted no. The SNP refused to accept the result and presided over a decade of division. It's time to move on.

The failings at Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre are shocking and raise concerns about other centres across Scotland. When I asked the SNP Minister to confirm that all other member centres provide dedicated women only spaces she lost track and then passed the buck 👇

. @ScotTories MSP @Rachael2Win asks SNP minister Kaukab Stewart what can be done to ensure rape crisis centres in Scotland are adhering to national standards and how many centres are currently providing "dedicated women-only spaces". The minister responds by continuing to read
