Tory or Labour. Blue or red. Different UK governments, same outcome for Scotland. The scars of Thatcher’s deindustrialisation are still felt in communities across Scotland. Decades later, successive Westminster governments continue to make decisions that put jobs, industries and workers at risk. For our communities in the North East and across Scotland, it doesn’t matter what colour Westminster is when the result is the same — lost jobs, weakened industries and communities left behind.

While student loans and rising student debt are dominating the conversation at Westminster, it’s worth remembering that the SNP Government scrapped tuition fees in 2008. We did so because we don’t believe anyone no matter their background should face financial barriers to accessing higher education. No one should be punished for choosing to go to university, and education should be based on ability to learn — not ability to pay.

🏴 Here’s why Scotland should be an independent country.

⚡️ Scotland is energy rich. Our people shouldn’t be paying some of the highest energy bills in Europe. The cut to VAT on energy bills is welcome. But while families might save £45 a year, bills remain £600 higher than Labour promised. 🏴 Scotland has the energy. We need the power to bring bills down for people in Scotland.

💷 Brexit is costing Scotland an estimated £30 billion a year. 🥃🐟🍓 Our food, drink and agricultural industries cannot afford to be an afterthought. That’s why I pressed Ministers on the impact of recent post-Brexit trade agreements on Scotland’s farming communities, particularly those in my constituency of Arbroath and Broughty Ferry.

👀 “No coherent plan” - not my words, but those of former Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair. 🏴 While Westminster descends into chaos, the SNP are getting on with the job: tackling the cost of living, lowering energy bills, and putting Scotland’s future in Scotland’s hands. 🗳️ On June 18th, vote SNP for an MP who’ll always be on your side.

📣 Earlier this week, I gave my Maiden Speech. This second clip is about our community which is more than just its name. This constituency cannot be neatly defined by the names on the ballot paper. From Arbroath’s harbour to Broughty Ferry’s waterfront, from Carnoustie and Monifieth to Lunan Bay, Friockheim, Monikie, Murroes, Fintry, Whitfield, Douglas, Balmossie, Barry and Letham - and everywhere in between. This is a constituency of many identities but one shared purpose. It is coastal and urban, rural and suburban, steeped in history but ambitious for its future. Above all, it is a place built on people who care deeply about where they live and about one another. 🎥 Part 2 of 3.

⚡️ Scotland produces enormous amounts of energy. Yet, it isn’t us who gets the benefits. 🥀 Labour promised to cut bills, but they are higher than ever, and set to rise again. 🗳️ If you think that Scotlands energy should be in our hands, then vote SNP on the 18th of June.
