At First Minister's Questions, I asked about the impact of a 13% rise in the energy price cap. The UK Government have utterly failed to bring down energy bills and families across energy-rich Scotland are paying the price. It's time to put Scotland's energy in Scotland's hands.

In my first speech since the election, I spoke about my ambitions for Aberdeen: That Aberdeen becomes a Net Zero capital, securing the legacy of North Sea oil, That folk in our energy capital don't have to worry about their energy bills, And that no bairn goes to bed hungry.

Earlier today, I questioned Rufus Radcliffe, CEO at STV, around their plans to cut STV North at the Scottish Parliament's Culture Committee. 300,000 folk tunes into STV North last night, I wouldn't call 300,000 folk nobody.

Michael Shanks MP, the UK Labour Government's Energy Minister, believes there is no difference between domestic and foreign oil production. I believe it makes a world of difference to hundreds of thousands of oil and gas workers across the North East of Scotland.

The UK Government's Energy Profits Levy has cost us 10,000 north sea jobs since 2022. I raised the impact the Levy is having with the Minister earlier today.👇

The Denis Law Legacy Trail will be officially unveiled this Saturday, at the corner of Printfield Walk and Printfield Terrace There will also be various family friendly workshops and games at the Printfield play area from 2 - 4.15 www.aberdeencity.gov.uk/news/denis-law-legacy-trail-officially-open

Today, I asked @johnswinney.bsky.social about the recent job losses at Harbour Energy, who blame the UK Government's excessive windfall tax. The UK Government have ignored warnings about job losses, treated Aberdeen as a cashcow, and is undermining efforts to deliver a Just Transition.

@scottishfirerescue.bsky.social found there has been an increase in fires involving rechargeable lithium-ion battery devices. To reduce the risk of fire to your home and loved ones, make sure to safely dispose of batteries and follow the advice given at www.firescotland.gov.uk/at-home/lith...

The Aberdeen City Region Deal has seen £125m from the Scottish Government invested in the North East economy Millions more are will follow, through the Just Transition Fund and offshore wind investment @snp.org are investing in the North East. Will the UK Government step up and match that?

Labour promised to lower your energy bills by £300 Instead, energy bills are set to increase by £300! This is nothing short of disgraceful during a cost of living crisis

This week, @thesnp.bsky.social passed a budget that will abolish the two child cap and deliver a Winter Heating Payment for all pensioners. We were told "no austerity under Labour". The Scottish Government is now mitigating Labour austerity. 🥀
