Today is Carers Rights Day.
Every day, 12,000 people become unpaid carers and are often unaware of the support and benefits they're eligible for.
As a carer myself, I understand the importance.

The cost of living means going out has become an unaffordable luxury.
That's why myself and my Lib Dem colleagues are urging the Chancellor to slash VAT by 5% for pubs, restaurants, entertainment and accommodation venues.

Bank branches are becoming rarer than sightings of the Loch Ness Monster.
Parliament must update the Financial Services and Markets Act to include an ‘access to banks’ provision.
I'm glad the Prime Minister has agreed to ensure I meet with the Treasury to discuss this proposal.

The UK Government is serious about establishing small modular reactors across the UK, including Scotland.
This could mean investment and job-creation in the Far North.
The only thing standing in the way is the SNP Government in Edinburgh.

I previously wrote to Loganair to ask them to take over the Eastern Airways service between Wick and Aberdeen.
If we are to have economic regeneration and job creation in the Far North, then it is imperative that an airlink from Wick is preserved.

Tain's Collegiate Church where I laid a remembrance wreath.
I wrote on it Arthur and Walter Stone, my grandfather's two brothers, and their cousin Richard Stone. All three gave their lives on the Western Front.
I'm thinking now of the sacrifice made by so many for our freedom.

I've relentlessly called for an independent review ever since my election, and I've made it clear that I’ll settle for nothing less than the reinstatement of a consultancy-led maternity unit in Caithness.

I welcome the SNP’s U-turn on this issue. It should have happened a long time ago.
However, if they think endorsing our calls now will make Highlanders forget the decades of mismanagement and neglect of the Far North at their hands they're wrong.

If NHS Scotland and NHS England shared their databases, people across the UK could access healthcare much more efficiently - especially when it comes to life saving treatments.
More cross-border cooperation would only be a good thing for people living all across the UK.

I’m very disappointed to see so many cancellations to planned NHS Highland vaccination clinics.
This is a consequence of the Scottish Government’s failure to consider remote and rural communities when negotiating the GP contract back in 2018. (1/3)🧵
