One of the things that I think we misjudged in the May elections was assuming that because of the really poor governing outcomes that the SNP have had in recent years, that would have a dampening effect on their support and on their vote.

By pooling and sharing resources across the country, people living in Scotland benefit from significant additional public spending.

The last 12 days have been extremely challenging for the teams on the ground tackling the wildfire and for those who live and have livelihoods in the area.

This trade milestone between the US and UK shows the bonds the countries have and the benefits from working closely in partnership.

By bringing this site back to life, the UK Government is also continuing its commitment to help with local recovery following the closure of Finnart last year.

This acquisition supports the long-term transformation of HM Naval Base Clyde and supports the kind of high-skilled jobs and economic opportunity that our communities deserve.

Scotland is crucial to UK defence and this £15.3 billion UK Government funding for some of our most critical military assets will make Britain safer at home, stronger abroad and deliver a defence dividend for Scottish communities.

This multi-million-pound investment will strengthen UK energy and naval operations’ resilience at a time when the security challenges we face have never been greater.

Scottish fans should be bigger than being anti-English.

Be assured, I wish our friends, our neighbours, and our sometimes-rivals well this evening at 8 o'clock.

I've always believed to be pro-Scottish, you don't need to be anti-English. We should be bigger and more generous than that.

I don’t think it's simply that he's shown himself to be a winner, particularly in Makerfield, against Reform and the very dark and dangerous future that I think Reform will (be) for the country.

Mr. President, here is what we know of the so-called stimulus bill. This bill will give American workers $8 a week in their paychecks in exchange for passing along a $1 trillion debt to our grandchildren. The entire New Deal, in today's…

We have a limited amount of water, a limited amount of money. I note the Senator from Arizona as well as I both voted to give President Obama the money he needed to work on housing and to work on financial institutions, and we may have to…

I wonder if I might ask the Senator, he has been especially effective as a spokesman for the importance of fixing housing first. Many of us, especially on this side, believe housing got us into this mess and helping housing restart will…

As I recall, Senator McCain offered one amendment which almost all of us voted for, which was very targeted and cost about $400 billion, but he also offered another amendment which would have guaranteed that whatever was passed actually be…

What we are asking is, why would we spend the whole piggybank on a $1 trillion piece of legislation that isn't targeted to create jobs when we have so many other pressing responsibilities for this limited amount of borrowed money--namely…

the stimulus bill is the subject of discussion. There are some things we know about it and some we don't. We know, for example, it is a massive amount of money, almost $800 billion. These are numbers we throw around. But according to the…

Or to put it another way: Don't dump the water out on the street and fertilize the field if you need to throw it on the house.

Ours are: Let's get the spending off the bill that does not create jobs now. My staff finds that only about $135 billion of the $900 billion goes to things that happen in the first couple of years--building roads, improving national parks…

this morning a number of us went to the National Prayer Breakfast--I saw the Senator from North Carolina there--which is always a wonderful event. It was especially a good event today because our new President was there for the first time…

I cosponsored Senator Wyden and Senator Bennett Healthy Americans Act last year to support a legitimate bipartisan effort that combines "private markets" and "universal access." I am willing to do so again this year, because health care…

If I understand the proposal, if I am a creditworthy person, I can either refinance my home or buy a new home at this lower interest rate, which today would be between 4 and 4.5 percent for a 30-year mortgage. I would have that fixed…
