I'm disappointed the resolution I co-wrote with Karen Adam MSP on the oil & gas jobs crisis didn’t make the conference long list.
The North East is losing hundreds of jobs every fortnight. For decades we’ve powered Scotland & the UK, yet workers & communities are being failed.

⭕ Yesterday, I challenged Labour’s Martin Whitfield on the 250 job losses at Harbour Energy in Aberdeen, a direct result of Westminster’s damaging windfall tax.
🥀Thanks to Labour, we have lost jobs, lost investment, and our North East region is being left behind.

NEW: Keir Starmer must apologise for 'having condoned the Israeli government’s war crimes in Gaza', the SNP have said.
The SNP’s Westminster leader Stephen Flynn said Starmer must confirm the UK will 'do its bit to enforce the warrant'.

Job opportunities for Aberdeen drop by 700 in just 43 days. How low will they go?
This is a betrayal and quite clearly shows that the power over Scotland’s energy should be in Scotland’s hands - independence 🏴
