Great attending The Listed Property Owners’ Club briefing event yesterday. There are over 500,000 listed buildings across the UK, including around 3219 listed buildings in North East Fife. I pledge to do all I can to support our local listed property owners.

Leuchars Station urgently needs upgrading to make it step-free and accessible.
Today I raised the Access For All Scheme and asked for assurances that conversations about the Scheme and how it will be implemented in Scotland are taking place.

I raised a case in Parliament where a constituent was stuck in ATAS visa delays - even after his father sadly passed away.
Despite ATAS being run by the FCDO, no one there seemed to know about ATAS, sending us in circles.
I’ve called for an urgent review so this doesn’t happen to others.

I'm shocked to learn of the serious incident on Boase Avenue St Andrews this morning - my thoughts are with the person who was injured.
I know this has shaken the local community but I’m assured that the police are continuing their enquiries.

Earlier this year, the Scottish Parliament passed the long-awaited Housing Bill. I wanted to share my reflections on what this Bill gets right, what it misses, and what still needs to happen if we are serious about ending the housing emergency in Scotland.

I've been speaking to constituents over the last few weeks about their expectations for the Budget, when I spoke to them over the weekend, many were disappointed.
From the Family Farm Tax to EV taxes and LHA to Scotch whisky, the Gov have missed their opportunity to deliver real change and growth.

Great to visit staff at the St Andrews Royal Mail delivery office.
In the run up to Christmas, the Royal Mail experiences double the usual volume - I’m very grateful for all the hard work the workers do to process it all!

Yesterday I took part in the Budget debate and made clear my frustration at the lack of support for our local high streets, the Scotch whisky industry, and the Government’s refusal to renegotiate a customs union with the EU.

Great to join Cupar Tesco’s Winter Food Collection and support the brilliant work of Trussell Trust and FareShare.
The volunteers, community groups and food banks involved make such a difference to people facing hardship each winter.

Glad to see the Carer’s Allowance overpayments report published after raising it last week. The Government has accepted most recommendations, including reassessing cases and refunding carers who were hit by years of unclear DWP guidance. Long overdue.

Great to meet with the Ramblers this week to discuss improving public access to nature as we mark 25 years of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act. Access to the outdoors matters, and I’m proud to support efforts to ensure everyone can enjoy it. 🌿

Today I met with WASPI campaigners who come every year on Budget Day and year after year are let down by no mention of compensation. I will continue to stand up for WASPI women to ensure they get the compensation they rightly deserve.
