At this week's Scottish Affairs Committee meeting, I asked the UK Chair of ExxonMobill to provide me with the company's profits for last year following their closure of their Mossmorran plant in Fife.
He could not give me an answer.
I found this extraordinary given his position at Exxon.

At the debate on Grangemouth, I outlined our Scottish Affairs Committee findings. We concluded the previous Conservative Government & Scottish Government could have acted sooner. The resulting hardship could've been avoided and we emphasised the importance of early intervention.

🧁Officially opening their doors just last year, the family-owned café has established themselves as a local staple and I can see why - thanks again!

My first visit for #SmallBusinessSaturday was to the fully organic Portnellan Farm in Gartocharn on the banks of Loch Lomond.
🚤🏠I was extremely impressed by their diversification, offering accommodation for a relaxing weekend away and fun water activities right on the Loch!

⚽️🟥I attended Dumbarton F.C.'s ‘Show Racism the Red Card’ event and took part in their Q&A with local school pupils.
Racism has no place in our country.
I was very impressed by their curiosity, passion for anti-racism and knowledge on the topics of race, racism, and anti-racism.
