Solid day campaigning in sunny Rhu with Dr Lisa Cameron MP in support of incredibly hard-working Scottish Conservative candidate @AmandaHampsey . In this vast seat of Argyll and Bute, people understand that ONLY a vote for Amanda can beat the SNP (Lab and Lib Dems are nowhere)👇.

🔹Joined a top team of Scottish Tory troopers and esteemed local MSP Jackson Carlaw in East Renfrewshire today. 🔹Residents know that ONLY a vote for Dr Sandesh Gulhane can beat the SNP. 🔹And FWIW, Sandesh says he got his white Adidas Sambas before Rishi. 🤓

SNP ministers have repeatedly refused to extend the remit of the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry. Today, I (again) asked them to do the right thing. But (yet again) they refused. Victims across Scotland are hurt and frustrated but they will not be fobbed off. 👇

Douglas Ross shows the power of asking simple questions, forcing John Swinney to admit that: 🔻He’s in a state of denial about SNP scandal. 🔻He still backs Michael Matheson. 🔻His priority will always be ‘independence’. 🔻He at least knows his own name 👏. #STVLeadersDebate

Accidental First Minister “honest” John Swinney claims he will “rebuild trust”. 🤯 >He won’t sack his lying, expenses-fiddling SNP pal. >He would shut down Scotland’s oil and gas sector but point blank refuses to tell the truth. #stvleadersdebate

Straight choice in seats across Scotland: 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿A Scottish Conservative MP who will stand up for constituents. 🤨 Or an SNP MP who will only obsess with breaking up the UK. #STVLeadersDebate

☀️Out hitting the doors in the sunny north east with our incredible general election candidates Andrew Bowie and Harriet Cross. 🔹In seats across Scotland, only a vote for the Scottish Conservatives can beat the SNP who have betrayed and abandoned our oil and gas sector.

🔻SNP ministers to return UNSPENT £450million to EU. 🔻Every penny should have been used to fight poverty, boost the economy and improve education. 🔻Scotland must get rid of these incompetents before they inflict any more damage. #SquanderForScotland Today’s @timesscotland 👇

😬Bumped into Humza Yousaf, Nicola Sturgeon and John Swinney in a Glasgow park today. 🟥Douglas Ross gave this sorry trio of cardboard cut-outs the red card. 🔵You can do the same by voting @ScotTories to beat the SNP and end their obsession with breaking up the UK.

◾️There is no 'safe' way to take synthetic opioids which can be hundreds of times more potent than heroin. ◾️With the @NCA_UK reporting 47 deaths in Scotland, I asked John Swinney if they should remain Class A drugs. ◾️His answer should have been 'yes' but he did not say. #FMQs

John Swinney’s SNP have voted for NO SANCTION against an MSP who fleeced taxpayers of £11k then spun a web of lies after he was caught. Today, I called out another SNP lie. This long-running scandal HAS been a significant drain on public funds 👇

UPDATED UPDATED: John Swinney reportedly now WON'T accept sanction against lying SNP expenses fiddler Michael Matheson. Does John Swinney knows what John Swinney is thinking or what John Swinney's cunning next move will be? Watch this space.

When I asked the SNP drugs minister about drug-free prison wings, she clearly stated that such a wing exists at HMP Glenochil. But her claim is false, so I’ve asked her to correct the record 👇. Scotland must do everything possible to reduce the tragic toll of drug deaths.

Last November, Police Scotland said it was taking no action ‘at this time’ over an SNP MSP’s dishonest £11k expenses claim. Given what’s now known, does that position hold? My Paisley Daily Express take on this and John Swinney’s shameless defence of his pal 👇

The resilience, dignity and bravery of my Tory colleague Craig Mackinlay MP is inspiring.

The snap election announcement has caused me 36 hrs of intense soul searching.   Whilst my heart tells me to stand again, there being so much unfinished business across local regeneration and national issues which are important to me, my head knows this to be impossible at this

In 3 years at Holyrood, I’ve sat through some pitiful performances from SNP First Ministers Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf - duplicity, deflection, disrespect and dishonesty. John Swinney’s performance today, defending his dishonest pal, was the most shameful. #FMQs .
