On BBC Debate Night, I spoke about how we simply can’t afford not to act on the climate crisis.

Governments need to improve EV charging, properly insulate homes, and ensure new builds meet modern energy standards. No one should be living in a cold home in the 21st century.

On BBC Debate Night, I spoke about tackling the UK’s benefits bill by helping people back into work - not cutting support.

We need to fix NHS waiting times, improve childcare and carers’ support, and invest in skills through local colleges like SRUC Cupar.

Last night on BBC Debate Night, we discussed rehabilitating offenders.

As a former police officer, I’ve seen first-hand how important it is to give people the support they need to rebuild their lives and contribute positively to society.

Today is PANS PANDAS Awareness Day 🧡

PANS and PANDAS are serious neuropsychiatric conditions that can have a devastating impact on children and their families - but with greater awareness, early diagnosis, and proper support, recovery is possible.

Very saddened to hear of the passing of Christopher Trotter. A passionate advocate for Fife’s local food and produce, his work championing sustainable, seasonal Scottish ingredients made a lasting impact. My thoughts are with his family, friends, and all who knew him. buff.ly/eJADo8N

My message to the millions of One Nation conservatives who reject the divisive politics of Badenoch and Farage is this:

Come and join us. Help us save our country. Come and win with us.

It was wonderful to be joined by @eddavey.libdems.org.uk at Cairnie Fruit Farm’s pumpkin patch yesterday, where we met with the incredible team and young people from Fife Young Carers 🎃

It’s vital that we continue to make sure that young carers have the support they deserve 🧡

Devastated by this attack on such an important day for the Jewish community.

My thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families and everyone affected in the community.

Horrified and appalled by the attack outside Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.

My thoughts are with the victims, our brave emergency services and the entire Jewish community.
