Scotland needs more carers, but Westminster is driving them away.

Labour’s hostile immigration plans and their tax on jobs are hammering Scotland’s social care sector.

With the fresh start of independence, we can build a migration system suited to our needs and interests.

Stormy weather wasn’t stopping the team getting out chapping on doors in Letham this afternoon Cost of living is the worry,and more and more people are realising that independence is the antidote. Next year’s election is all about demanding Scotland’s right to choose that future

It’s been four years since I was elected by the good people of Perthshire South and Kinross-shire, and I have striven every day to repay the faith they put in me by being their local champion with a national voice.
