Cllr James Adams

😬

@JournoStephen Here was me hoping we were going to get along 😂

Scotland’s latest MSP is a self-described ‘Star Wars fanatic’. Ugh.

@fincarson Likewise sir!

@Jim_A_Adams Looking forward to seeing you on Tuesday!!

'The Conservatives’ victory in Aberdeen South was significant because the voters showed they were determined to preserve Scotland’s oil and gas industry.' @Alan_Cochrane's take on the Tories' Aberdeen South triumph ⤵️ telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/06/1…

The TalkTV/GB News commentariat are downplaying the @ScotTories win in Aberdeen South. Let’s remember that two months ago, the party suffered its worst Holyrood election result. Yesterday, we built a coalition of voters in Aberdeen South, and secured a 6,050 majority! Huge.

As a result of @DLumsden_MSP winning the Aberdeen South by-election (and presumably having to change his X-name) James Adams will become the new Conservative North East list MSP. He will be the 65th new MSP, that’s the majority of this Parliament!

Job done 💪 @Conservatives Gain 🔹 Aberdeen South @ScotTories blue 💙

It’s been an interesting 24 hours! 💙

This is what it feels like when common sense wins. Aberdeen backed oil and gas, jobs, energy security and a local champion who will fight for the city he calls home. Congratulations @DLumsden_MP. Let’s get Britain working again.

Yesterdays by elections… 🔴 Labour - Hold 🤷‍♂️ 🟡 SNP - Down 1 🫠 🔵 Conservative- GAIN! 😎

Some personal news. I am set to become James Adams MSP. With Douglas Lumsden becoming an MP, I will take his place as regional MSP for the North East of Scotland. I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity and look forward to getting down to Edinburgh to start the new job.#happy

This is a significant result, and I want to start by congratulating @DLumsden_MSP on becoming the new Member of Parliament for Aberdeen South and the newest Conservative MP! Makerfield was about one man’s job. Aberdeen South was about thousands of jobs in oil and gas across our country and the future of an entire city. Yesterday, the people of Aberdeen sent a message on behalf of the whole country. Energy security is national security. They know it is common sense to use our own oil and gas rather than importing it from overseas. They know it is madness to make ourselves poorer, weaker and more dependent at a time when even the government’s own intelligence says we are under threat. The first duty of any government is to keep its people safe. The Conservative Party will always put Britain’s security first. What makes this result particularly significant is that many people who voted Conservative today have never voted Conservative before. I want to thank every one of them. Many will have voted for us because they care deeply about Aberdeen and its future. Many will have voted for us because they are sick of the SNP’s shenanigans. Others because they are worried about what Labour’s policies mean for their jobs and livelihoods. Many voted for us because they wanted a strong local champion. Douglas is that champion. He has lived in Aberdeen all his life. He spent two decades working in the oil and gas industry. He knows this city, he knows its people, and throughout this campaign he brought energy, optimism and a genuine belief in Aberdeen’s future. Wherever he went, he had a smile on his face and a positive message about what this great city can achieve. The Conservative Party is working to earn the trust of the country again. I am grateful and humbled that Aberdeen looked at the choice before them and decided that the Conservative Party was the party that would fight for families, workers and business. Thank you, Aberdeen. I will never stop fighting for you. Douglas will never stop fighting for you. The Conservative Party will keep fighting for common sense, a stronger economy and a stronger country.

When you order by-election predictions from Temu.

We only bloody did it. 😎🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@robertreid_ Thanks for the shout out Rob. Cracking result for my party and Douglas. I’m looking forward to getting sworn in and straight to work at Holyrood.

Smaller headline for tonight but this result means that the Scottish Parliament has a new MSP in James Adams

Fantastic start to ⭐️BY-ELECTION WEEK⭐️ in Aberdeen South! @DLumsden_MSP is fighting for oil & gas, fighting for jobs and fighting for our city 💪 Great to be joined today by @Conservatives MPs @JohnGlenUK and Karen Bradley ✨ 3️⃣ days to go!!

💪 Kemi is back in Aberdeen! 💪 Fighting for jobs. Fighting for Aberdeen. Fighting to win.

Not sure which is worse - The Scotland Secretary not willing to welcome the £ billions of investment or the thousands of jobs the Rosebank oilfield would bring. or... Him twice referring to the Energy Secretary as the Climate Secretary. 🥀Says a lot about Labour’s priorities.
