I was so honoured when one year ago today, voters put their faith in me to be their local champion. Since then I have been fighting for you, and being the strong voice that the Highlands deserves.
Thank you very much for entrusting me to represent you in Westminster, I’m giving it my all.

Liberal Democrat MPs just defeated Nigel Farage’s Bill in Parliament to tear up people’s rights and withdraw from the ECHR.
Farage wants to do away with the Britain Churchill built and turn it into Trump's America. We won't let him.

This Labour Government is just moving asylum seekers from one kind of unsuitable and costly accommodation to another, instead of tackling the real issue - speeding up asylum decisions.
Compassion must guide our approach, but so must common sense.

I’ve written to Sir Keir Starmer to ask him to table legislation to formally remove Prince Andrew’s titles. I’m pleased to have the support of 27 cross party MPs, with more expressing support in private.

We confirmed TODAY that the Scottish Gov will commit to forming a working party with local communities to push for solutions. I'm delighted to see this result - and I'll keep working every minute

Tomorrow is my Highland Care Conference, which I'm hosting with Kate Forbes.
Securing social care for our elderly in the Highlands is vital and I'm determined that tomorrow will help bring solutions.
I'll post lots of updates as tomorrow goes on.

I’ve secured a meeting with UK Ministers to tackle the deep unfairness of rural energy costs - when Highland households pay up to four times more to heat their homes than those in cities.
Communities generating clean power should benefit, instead of being penalised with higher bills.

We must urgently ratify the High Seas Treaty. But it is only the first step towards protecting our oceans.
That's why I urged the Government to go further by banning the terrifying practice of bottom trawling in Marine Protected Areas.

The National Mòd has been a great success in Fort William, great music, good crowds and gorgeous weather. Well done James Graham, Ian Robertson and the many others who made it epic.

Earlier this week was World Mental Health Day. Speak Their Name is a memorial where anyone who has lost a loved one to suicide can create a memorial square. A very touching experience to see.
Local charities like Mikeysline or the Samaritans are always available if you need them.

With support from Lib Dem colleagues, I've urged the Health Secretary to urgently address the hospice care crisis.
We can't accept a diminishing service where care is rationed and fundraising lags.
Thousands need relief, and we must do better.

New health and safety regulations mean that the Portree helipad and hundreds more will not be available for search and rescue helicopters - risking the health of people needing medical evacuation.
I have met with the Coastguard, Bristow, and the CAA and hope that a resolution can be found quickly.

A real Russian Shahed drone being put together in Parliament today. It’s 4m long and can carry 90kg of explosives. Russia manufactures 170 a day and most get directed onto civilian Ukrainian targets. Russia must lose this war for the sake of peace in Europe.

The Highlands has very high level of suicide rates and mental health problems.
If you have a friend or family member that you worry about, contact Ewen’s Room, Lochaber Hope or Mikeysline.
NHS Highland need to improve their mental health provision dramatically.

34 million people use the NHS app in England, but in Scotland we still don't have one.
Why, in 2025, are patients in Scotland still unable to benefit from an App that provides the same joined-up care that families in England have been able to rely on since before the pandemic?
