Talking about deficits isn’t a vote winner. If you tell people ‘It’s going to be tough and cuts need to be made’ they’re not going to vote for you. But if you talk about free-this and free-that, people will vote for you, and I think that’s a major flaw in democracy.

I support net zero, but it must be practical and fair. We can’t put thousands of North Sea workers out of jobs while importing the same oil from abroad. That’s not a transition, it’s self-inflicted damage.

I was struck by how quiet the Scottish Parliament chamber was when Stephen Flynn delivered his first speech as Economy Secretary. If MSPs don't bother to attend, what does that say about how seriously they take one of the biggest issues facing the country?

Peter Murrell has admitted fraud, but Scottish taxpayers may still be left footing part of the bill for his legal aid. For many people, that's a difficult pill to swallow at a time when households, businesses and public services are all under pressure.

A 481% increase in business rates, from £111,000 to £645,000 a year. Hearing this from Kevin Martin, Managing Director of MML Leisure, shows the reality facing hospitality. These are the kinds of costs that make it harder for businesses to keep going.

We’re testing 25,000 men across Scotland free of charge, just a simple blood test. In the first week alone, over 1,400 men came forward, and we’ve already identified cases early. That’s lives changed and potentially lives saved. Visit get involved, it could make all the difference.

I usually say that the government shouldn't be involved in running businesses. But I take my hat off to the Scottish government when it comes to Prestwick airport. Last week when I landed there I was thrilled to hear about all of the job opportunities across engineering, security and warehousing.

Let's ban every government minister and the rates assessor from their local pub until the business rates are fixed. Business rates are having a terrible impact on businesses across Scotland, particularly in hospitality. What will it take to make the government officials and rates assessor understand the damage they are doing?

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – the only way Scotland could become an independent nation is if it learns from the likes of Ireland and Singapore. We need to attract wealth creators and get the tax TAKE up, not the tax RATE up.
