Aberdeen South was about thousands of jobs in oil and gas across our country and the future of an entire city.

Is working to earn the trust of the country again

The Makerfield by-election was about one man's job. The Aberdeen South by-election was about thousands of jobs all over the country but especially in the oil and gas sector.

Aberdeen has sent a message to the Labour government and the SNP that we will not be ignored.

Voting Tory would give the sector a “kiss of life”, the Conservative leader says.

We cannot have our military inadequately funded at a time of growing threats.

Democracy is settled at the ballot box, not through fear or violence and definitely not through foreign interference from hostile countries.

No one should face intimidation, threats or attacks because they hold public office.

Keir Starmer is on his way to making his last acts in office the shameful under-funding of our military and the mass slaughter of Dartmoor ponies.

This is total madness from another unaccountable quango.

Bringing forward legislation which many people said was so bad it did not pass muster in the middle of a government crisis shows what kind of people sit on the Labour backbenches.

I pay tribute to the brave Royal Marine Commandos who boarded a Russian shadow fleet oil tanker overnight in the English Channel.

It is time to get serious. We cannot have our military inadequately funded at a time of growing threats.

Kemi Badenoch told us that the Tories would scrap the public-sector equality duty. How will this strengthen society? Will this build houses quicker than they are burnt down?

Keir Starmer has no plan whatsoever. I don’t see how he can stay in this job. He can’t run the country. He is paralysed because his backbenchers only want to spend money on welfare.

We need to start funding defence. We need to get to 3% of GDP by the end of this parliament …

His health secretary resigned two weeks ago. His defence secretary has resigned at a critical time when we are facing global threats, and he is doing so because the prime minister is trying to please his backbenchers by putting money into…

You don’t need a duty to tell you to take account of differences. Quite often differences are obvious.

The reason that he's dithering is because he doesn't know where the money is coming from.

He has only three options: cutting spending, more borrowing, or higher taxes. We know that the chancellor wants to put up tax to pay for it.

Social media is for adults, it’s not for children.

I am not going to run away from an outcry and allow other people’s children to be killed just so I can have a quiet life.

I’m afraid it doesn’t matter if more black boys are searched, because it means more black lives will be saved.

All these crimes could have been stopped if people had intervened instead of having a fear of being called racist.

Repealing the PSED would be the best way to remove discrimination from the law while still protecting equality under the law.
