It’s been an honour to have been involved. This work is so incredibly important. Giving a voice to the voiceless. Looking forward to seeing it progress into real action.

How remarkable is this. This is the kind of work that fosters understanding and compassion. Art connecting young people, making a mark in their lives that I’m sure they will always remember. I’m so incredibly proud of them all. ♥️

February was very busy, from championing our fishing industry and fighting for local libraries to standing up for health and social care services. I have been making sure your voices are heard.
In Parliament, I delivered a speech on the Opportunities and Challenges for Scotland’s Fishing Sector, making the case for greater support for the industry. We can secure a thriving future for our fishing sector while protecting the livelihoods that depend on it. I also spoke about the role of education in addressing child poverty, giving every child the best start in life, regardless of their background. I made it clear that local libraries need to be protected, doing everything we can to save them. I was delighted to hear that Cullen library in Moray has been saved, and I continue work on others across Aberdeenshire.
As Convener of the Cross-Party Group on Fisheries and Coastal Communities, I set the agenda for an important meeting that welcomed international guests. This was a fantastic opportunity to share expertise and discuss best practices. Ensuring that our coastal communities have a voice in these discussions is vital, and I am proud to lead on this work.
Out in the constituency, I visited Fraserburgh Academy for a Q&A session with varied topics from socioeconomics to crime and energy. In Gardenstown, I attended a public meeting about the seawall, listening to local concerns and discussing the next steps for securing action on this critical issue.
I was delighted to sponsor an event with Ocean Winds, reinforcing my commitment to Scotland’s renewable energy future, ensuring that we take the advantages locally but that also fisheries and the spatial squeeze in our marine environments are taken into account. I co-convened a British Heart Foundation event, backing efforts to improve heart health across Scotland, as after losing my own mother when she was younger I want to see work to prevent that happening to another family. I also took part in discussions on the future…

❌ The Tories demand £1bn in tax cuts while asking for £155m for Winter Heating Payments at the same time. ✅ Our budget delivers universal Winter Heating Payments for all pensioner households—yet the Tories plan to vote against it. ⚠️ The Tories have no credibility.

Doesn’t stop them pushing the narrative unfortunately, mostly in terms of the fishing industry. A conservative MSP raised it in chamber during my recent speech on Brexit.

Brexit Britain. Folk comment that Banffshire and Buchan Coast wanted Brexit. But, when I speak to constituents they are very clear that what they were sold was far from what’s been delivered. Tories were touting snake oil and Labour are now supporting it. Scottish independence is the real remedy.

The liars, of course, have all moved on to new cons & deceptions. The fishing industry can't. A vaguely honest media would be holding Farage & the rest to account for this instead of promoting a meaningless petition... www.plymouthherald.co.uk/news/plymout...

When I see this I can’t fathom why it’s not happening already. I do hope it happens for the sake of care leavers. Thankfully it’s already happening in Scotland. Free prescriptions for everyone. Free bus travel for under 22’s, disabled and over 60’s.
