Stephen Kerr MSP@RealStephenKerr·
@murdo_fraser is right. We are proud of our leader @KemiBadenoch. Because she spoke up for the people of Aberdeen South. For Scotland. She understands something Labour and the SNP don't. You cannot build a successful economy by talking down one of Scotland's most important industries. Kemi backed the North Sea, backed the workers, backed the supply chain and backed the communities whose livelihoods depend on oil and gas. Voters noticed. After years of politicians apologising for enterprise and wealth creation, it was refreshing to hear someone make the case for both. scotsman.com/news/opinion/c…

This is a disgrace. Labour’s lame duck Attorney General, Lord Hermer, is once again trying to force through his vindictive pet project: the Chagos Island surrender. Hermer is the only person who wants this deal. Conservatives rejected it. The Americans have serious concerns about it. And the British people do not want it. Conservative would use the money Labour put aside for the Chagos surrender to fund our defence. You do not make Britain safer by giving away strategic assets and paying for the privilege. Conservatives have stopped this deal before. We will stop it again. We will not let Labour weaken Britain.

Nicola Sturgeon may be cleared of criminal wrongdoing, but she is not cleared of scrutiny. The Murrell plea deal raises obvious questions about who was protected from further embarrassment. There must be an inquiry.
The Telegraph@Telegraph

New police photographs threaten to destroy Nicola Sturgeon’s claim that she did not see the luxury motorhome her husband bought with embezzled money, it has been alleged. 🔗: telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/06/2…

The SNP has demanded inquiries into almost every institution in Scotland. It cannot now refuse scrutiny of itself. Peter Murrell has been convicted and jailed, but serious questions remain about governance, accountability and transparency at the heart of the SNP. There should be an independent inquiry into what happened, who knew what, and why the safeguards failed.

When the minister thought that he’d played his trump card “the Defence Secretary is with the King” but it turns out that it simply wasn’t true!

All too often, the most vulnerable in our society are failed because public sector officials or organisations withhold information or cover up failure. This is a cultural failing across the Scottish public sector, and it must be rooted out. It is now time we had a definitive Scots law relating to misconduct in public office.

After two years of this, it's no wonder Keir Starmer has resigned.

The country is not being governed and Labour say there won't be a Prime Minister till September. Keir Starmer is off on a farewell tour and Andy Burnham wants a summer holiday. Neither is thinking about our national security. We need to cut welfare and fund our military.

He's off. But no matter who replaces Keir Starmer, we're stuck with Labour's high taxes, soaring benefits and war on North Sea oil and gas. The same failed approach of the SNP, which spells double disaster for Scotland. bbc.co.uk/news/live/ckge…

The SNP must implement the court ruling now. After years of wasting taxpayers' money, losing in court and attacking the women who challenged them, ministers should stop looking for loopholes and start obeying the law. Women’s prisons are for women. The Supreme Court has ruled. The Court of Session has ruled. The argument is over. The SNP got this wrong. It should implement the judgment immediately and apologise. scotsman.com/news/opinion/g…

Craig Ferguson's achievement is extraordinary. The SNP should stop trying to piggyback on it. If this £400,000 was already earmarked for mental health spending, ministers have no business presenting it as a donation linked to Craig's fundraising effort. The question is simple: is this genuinely new money or money that was going to be spent anyway? Craig deserves the credit. The SNP deserves scrutiny. news.stv.tv/scotland/gover…

The SNP can talk about progress all it likes, but these are the facts. Five years after Covid, Scotland is still carrying out 7.7% fewer planned operations than before the pandemic - more than 25,000 fewer procedures every year. On top of that, more than 30,000 operations have been cancelled at the last minute since 2021 because hospitals lacked the capacity to carry them out. Behind every one of those figures is a patient who has waited months, often years, for treatment, only to be let down at the eleventh hour. Patients are waiting too long, hospitals are under pressure, and too many people are paying the price for years of SNP mismanagement. After nearly two decades in power, the SNP owns this failure. scotsman.com/news/politics/…

Hiking national insurance The Family Farm Tax Giving up on real welfare reform Not funding our defence Not drilling our own oil and gas Appointing Peter Mandelson…then lying about what had happened Britain is not ungovernable. Keir Starmer is a terrible Prime Minister. But the problem isn’t just Starmer. Labour MPs only want higher taxes to hand out more benefits, as the Welfare Secretary has pointed out. These are Labour’s choices and their values, regardless of who is running the party. We need to get Britain working again. We need the @Conservatives.

Kemi Badenoch is right. Reform is promising more spending, more giveaways and no credible way to pay for it. Conservatism is about enterprise, responsibility and sound finances. Britain needs serious government, not slogans.
