I'm back at home after my surgery and I've just been out to do my shopping in Asda. It's really made me appreciate the little things - life is good! Thank you to Asda for letting me (temporarily) run away with their trolley! 🛒

I was pleased to sponsor an event in Parliament discussing the future of cash and in-person banking with the Post Office. This is particularly timely as the Treasury's 'Access to Banking Services' review draws to a close. I look forward to the findings.

The Far North makes a huge contribution to the UK’s energy system. I’m calling on the Government for clarity on Dounreay, hydrogen, renewables and the North Sea workforce. The Highlands must be at the heart of the UK’s energy future and our communities must see the benefits.

I welcome the news. Having worked at Nigg during its oil fabrication heyday, I hope we can one day see offshore structures built there again. Some 5,000 people once built the mighty Conoco and BP platforms there. That should be the ambition once again. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I've congratulated the new Prime Minister and set out an agenda for Highland communities. From banking access and heating oil costs, to HMRC, devolution and electoral reform. I look forward to supporting his Government's ambition to move away from centralised decision making.
