Douglas Lumsden MP

Yesterday was a great day for our @Conservatives family! This demonstrates our strength when united under @KemiBadenoch’s leadership. I’m more confident than ever we can reclaim voters nationwide, just as we did in Aberdeen South. Let’s keep going team! 💙

Dear Ed Miliband, Kindly change your destructive, nonsensical, job killing policies. Yours, The People of Aberdeen

It’s been an interesting 24 hours! 💙

The graph says it all. Only one party in Scotland is standing up for oil and gas - and the economic growth and tax receipts it delivers.

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.

What a whirlwind few hours! Thank you to the people of Aberdeen South for putting your trust in me, now it’s time to get Britain drilling.

.@KemiBadenoch's statement following Douglas Lumsden’s victory in Aberdeen South ⬇️

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.
