To everyone in Aberdeen that put their trust in me, thank you. I share your anger, I share your frustration, and I share your fears for the future.
This result sends a clear message to Labour and the SNP: their war on North Sea oil and gas must end.
While we still have a need for oil and gas, it’s much better that we produce it in this country, because it’s much better for our economy and also our jobs.
