Labour set to nationalise British Steel to save jobs, but they wouldn’t do the same for Grangemouth. Scotland is always an afterthought for Westminster Governments. It’s time for independence. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Labour are trying to kill Aberdeen and the north east with their ideological hatred of the oil and gas industry at a time when there is a threat to energy security.

Starmer is now a wingless, lame duck!

Westminster never changes! #Independence🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Last campaign selfie with the main man Jack Middleton, SNP candidate for Aberdeen Central. #BothVotesSNP 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I’ve done my duty & voted for Jack Middleton for Aberdeen Central & for the SNP on the Regional List. Jack will make an excellent MSP & I want to see John Swinney returned as Scotland’s First Minister & an independence referendum. #BothVotesSNP #Independence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The cherry blossom is in full bloom in Ferryhill as our SNP squad continues to campaign for Jack Middleton for Aberdeen Central. #BothVotesSNP #ActiveSNP

On Thursday, we have the opportunity to vote for a nation renewed, built by the wealth of our resources and our people. That is the prize for Scotland and it is the fresh start offered by independence. #BothVotesSNP #Independence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The Aberdeen Central SNP team’s campaigning continues, even on May Day. On Thursday vote for Jack Middleton on the lilac ballot paper & for the SNP on the peach one. #BothVotesSNP #Independence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The SNP is always on your side. On May 7th choose a Scottish Government that works for Scotland & for a fresh start with independence. Make it both votes SNP. #BothVotesSNP 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

About to have an early lunch after completing my first get out the vote session for Aberdeen Central SNP candidate, Jack Middleton. On Thursday please back Jack, who will be a strong voice for Aberdeen at Holyrood. #BothVotesSNP #ActiveSNP

I accompanied SNP candidate for Aberdeen Central, Jack Middleton on a visit to the Syed Shah Mustafa Jame Mosque today to speak to, listen and answer questions from the congregation. #VoteJackMiddleton #BothVotesSNP🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

A vote for Labour is a vote to save Keir Starmer & his cabinet of chaos. Let’s end the Labour chaos, put Scotland first and vote for a fresh start with independence. #BothVotesSNP #Independence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

In Aberdeen Central vote for SNP candidate Jack Middleton on the lilac ballot paper and for the Scottish National Party on the peach paper. #BothVotesSNP🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The sun shone on the righteous in the west end tonight. Jack Middleton’s Aberdeen Central SNP team are fair getting their steps up. #BothVotesSNP #ActiveSNP

So Starmer follows the Johnson play to prorogue parliament to avoid scrutiny over the next few weeks. Westminster never changes. It’s time for a fresh start with independence. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #BothVotesSNP #Independence

We were the Aberdeen west end wanderers tonight, chapping for Jack Middleton. Lots of postal votes being returned for Jack and the SNP. #BothVotesSNP #ActiveSNP 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

“Sarwar apologises for stroke quip at press conference.” “Sarwar 'offered Reform-Labour deal THREE TIMES', Reform MSP says.” “Sarwar 'absolutely' regrets describing disgraced Peter Mandelson as his 'old friend'.” “Sarwar says voting Labour 'not an endorsement' of Starmer.”

The campaign trail took us to Seaton tonight with some great canvass results for Jack Middleton, SNP candidate for Aberdeen Central. #BothVotesSNP 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #ActiveSNP

Chatting to John Swinney about the history of Fittie yesterday as he joined the Aberdeen Central SNP team to campaign for Jack Middleton. #BothVotesSNP 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

It was great to have John Swinney in Fittie yesterday to support our fantastic Aberdeen Central SNP candidate, Jack Middleton.

Sarwar now says that Mandelson is a traitor. Here’s the same Anas Sarwar cosying up to his friend Peter. Sarwar’s judgement is as bad as his Labour boss Starmer’s. Imagine being pals with or giving a job to a man who was called the Prince of Darkness. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Looks like Mandelson is about to claim another scalp.

A crack canvassing team out in Broomhill this evening campaigning for Aberdeen Central SNP candidate, Jack Middleton. #BothVotesSNP #ActiveSNP

Never forget…

Only in the bizarre world of Scottish unionist politics could Labour staffers, candidates & allies seem to be trying to deflect from the issue of whether Offord or Sarwar are lying about their ‘deal conversation’, by weirdly blaming John Swinney, who wasn’t privy to their chat.

Never forget…

Never forget..

One of the many reasons why it has to be both votes SNP for a fresh start with independence. #BothVotesSNP #Independence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Never forget…

No longer an MSP, some may think that the picture is a flippant sign off, but think of breast cancer awareness. I loved Christina McKelvie & this is for her! A fantastic woman, who loved everyone. Be more Christina! That’s all folks!

Today, is my last day as the MSP for Aberdeen Central after serving 15 years in our parliament. Thanks to all my fellow Aberdonians who voted for me for 27 years of public service on the council & at Holyrood. It has been an honour & a privilege! #BothVotesSNP #Independence🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Deranged Donald should be banned from using UK bases to carry out his planned war crimes.

Apt to post this on the anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Arbroath. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Let Farage & his Reform mob know loud & clear that Scotland is not a department & that we are a nation. #BothVotesSNP #Independence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politic...

Happy Easter!

If true, it’s not before time. Now Labour must get rid of the Energy Profits Levy, which is destroying jobs, livelihoods & communities in the north east of Scotland & beyond.

This sickening comment shows the true face of Reform & is an insult to every Grenfell victim & their loved ones. If Farage has any decency whatsoever, he needs to sack this idiot now. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Westminster isn’t working! It’s time for a fresh start with independence! #BothVotesSNP 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

It’s the fifteenth anniversary of the abolition of prescription charges in Scotland. Let’s make sure prescriptions remain free for everyone. #BothVotesSNP 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Westminster Labour is sabotaging Scotland. They:- ❌ Rejected £1.5 Billion of renewables investment ❌ Refused to save Grangemouth ❌ Presided over Mossmorran closure ❌ Kept the Energy Profits Levy ❌ introduced a tax on jobs It’s time for independence! #BothVotesSNP 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Since Labour gained power at Westminster your:- ⚡️ Energy bills have soared 🥘 Food costs have risen dramatically 🏡 Mortgages & rents are up ⛽️ Petrol prices are astronomical Labour has done nothing to help your household. #BothVotesSNP #Independence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

We have the energy, with independence, we will have the power. #BothVotesSNP 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

A final photo with my fantastic SNP parliamentary colleagues.

My last time sitting next to the indefatigable Christine Grahame at First Minister’s Questions. I’ll miss her company, her commentary & her comedy. A legend!
