Grateful to Aberdeen Central CLP for sending my motion to #ScotLab25.
Despite what some in our movement believe, there can be no peace without justice in Ukraine.
We must continue to back our Ukrainian friends with money and weaponry to take back their country.

Side note: a good friend of mine genuinely thought he was called 'Ellon Musk'.
They were disappointed when I said that that was actually a knock-off Aberdeenshire fragrance, and not the richest bastard in the world.

Scotland has a housing emergency. The SNP Government claims it’s working to end that.
But look at these official figures out today. Across the board, fewer houses are being built.

I look forward to Freedom of Movement for under-30s returning just as I turn 30, and never having the opportunity to live or work in the EU.

It's 10 years this evening since I started working at The Grill as a student.
I left five years ago, but I owe much to the customers, to my bar staff colleagues and to the former ownership. Lots of change since then, but still a good Guinness on tap at HQ.
