While NHS staff in England are still disgracefully fined for parking while caring for patients, in Scotland @thesnp @scotgov put an end to this.

This action by @theSNP @scotgov has saved staff and patients over £90 million since 2008, by scrapping hospital parking charges.

@snp.org Scottish Government are investing in the Oil and Gas Transition Training Fund, to allow more of our highly skilled work force to take on different roles in the sustainable energy sector.

People are our city’s biggest asset, and I am glad to see this investment in our workforce.

Earlier today, I questioned Rufus Radcliffe, CEO at STV, around their plans to cut STV North at the Scottish Parliament's Culture Committee.

300,000 folk tunes into STV North last night, I wouldn't call 300,000 folk nobody.

This afternoon I stopped by the RNLI stall in the Scottish Parliament, an organisation of volunteers and lifeguards who do an immense amount of work to keep us safe at sea.

Earlier this week, I had a chat with Ellie, Chair of @officialsyp.bsky.social, at the launch of their manifesto: “Dear Scotland’s Future”.

SYP does an important job, championing the interests of young Scots, and ensuring their voices are heard in this Parliament.

Labour left pensioners in the cold by removing their Winter Fuel Payment.

Your SNP Scottish Government is delivering Pension Age Winter Heating Payments, from November 2025, for every pensioner - 880,000 pensioners across Scotland will receive the payment.

Your SNP Scottish Government has abolished peak rail fares for good.

This means a cheaper daily commute for thousands across Scotland.

That’s money back in your pocket, whether you’re travelling for work or leisure, given the reduced cost of rail travel.

Today’s Tall Ship’s crew parade & awards ceremony brightened up a dreich Aberdeen today.

The weather wasn’t great, but it certainly didn’t dampen spirits.

Yesterday I visited Alzheimer Scotland at their office on King Street in Aberdeen.

Great to hear about all they offer to folk across the city, in particular, the Brain Health Clinic - a partnership with NHS Grampian and the Scottish Government.

Today, with @fsb-uk.bsky.social, I visited @Appetite_M365, Endurance Kickboxing, CMD Coatings, Flowerscene and H & S Milne & Son Butcher.

It was great to hear about the different work they are doing, what they offer in the community, and hearing about the challenges businesses face.

The UK economy has now shrunk for the second month in a row.

This is entirely under Labour, their choices, their fiscal rules, their cuts, their NI rises, and their inability to bring down energy prices.

Can we afford to remain a part of broken Britain?

✂️ Under Keir Starmer's two-tier welfare system, disabled Scots will now be nearly £3,000 worse off a year with any new claims for Universal Credit.

🥀 31 Scottish Labour MPs voted for this.

The UK Government's two child cap hit 820 households across Aberdeen, affecting 2,810 kids in our city.

Next March, @snp.org is scrapping the cap, and giving a hand up to more than 100,000 children across Scotland.

Michael Shanks MP, the UK Labour Government's Energy Minister, believes there is no difference between domestic and foreign oil production.

I believe it makes a world of difference to hundreds of thousands of oil and gas workers across the North East of Scotland.

This week I visited Royal Mail depot at Whitemyres to meet some of our local posties and see a bit more of how Royal Mail works.

I'm always keen to deliver for folk in Aberdeen Donside, and was trying to get some advice from the people that deliver to them.

@aberdeencc.bsky.social
have agreed to fund five night bus routes across #Aberdeen on Friday and Saturday nights, from later this month.

First Aberdeen’s single fare prices will apply on these services, which also means they will be included in the Scottish Government’s free bus travel schemes.

In Peterhead today with @jackiedunbarsnp.bsky.social
and Alan Petrie (on behalf of @karenadamsnp.bsky.social)

Some great opening remarks from Seamus Logan MP

Peterhead is a cornerstone of the North East's energy industry and it has a key role to play in our region's energy transition
