In June 2016 Scotland voted overwhelmingly to remain in the European Union. Since then the UK Government and others have tried to take us to a cliff-edge Brexit which will be damaging to us all.
This Thursday please vote SNP and help us send a strong message to Westminster that Scotland’s voice must be heard.
Scotland is not for Brexit.
Thanks to my local counterpart Jenny Gilruth MSP who has been representing the views of many of my constituents in the Scottish Parliament. … See MoreSee Less

I was very pleased to be able to hear more about the great work going on at the Howe of Fife Rugby Club to make rugby accessible to all.
I recently met up with John Arbuckle, one of the trustees of the Howe, to hear more about The Fife Clan – Unified Rugby and to give them a donation to help with their future development.
This rugby team has been set up to promote unified rugby for those with moderate learning difficulties or disabilities which means they can’t take part in full contact rugby.
Fife Clan had their first match in their own right against The Caley Clan during the Howe 7s recently.
It’s is a great initiative and I’m glad to see it is so well supported by the Howe of Fife RFC and its members. There are so many benefits from taking part in sport and being part of a team and I wanted to be able to show my support by giving a donation. I wish them all the very best of luck for future matches.
Karen Mitchell, who runs Fife Clan, said: “We received great support at the Howe 7’s with many saying it was one of their highlights of the day. Our players are improving with every training session and they are all very proud to play for their team. Donations like this will help the Fife Clan to travel to away matches and attend tournaments as well as buy some training kit. We would like to say thank you to Stephen for his kind donation.”
Since May last year I have raised over £1500 for local charities and community organisations by taking part in interviews with various political research companies and donating the fees paid. … See MoreSee Less

The European election this Thursday provides a chance to stop Brexit and protect our NHS, Scotland’s health secretary Jeane Freeman has said.

Donald Trump has outlined his demand that a post-Brexit trade deal sees “full market access” for US health products, allowing American drug firms to hike up prices for medicines.

The potential hit to NHS budgets adds to existing concerns that Brexit will have a harmful impact on healthcare.

A BBC investigation found that health boards across Scotland were concerned about attracting and retaining key and specialist staff, access to nuclear material to diagnose and treat cancer, the availability of blood and organs for transplant, and the impact on cross-border treatment.

Ending freedom of movement could limit Scotland’s ability to fund the NHS – with Holyrood’s cross-party Finance Committee last year warning there was a strong demographic risk to the size of the Scottish budget.

The BMA’s European election manifesto this week said that “Brexit will be damaging for the medical profession, both in the UK and across Europe.”

Commenting, Jeane Freeman MSP said:

“Thursday’s vote is a chance to stop Brexit in its tracks – and to protect our NHS.

“Brexit poses a major risk to medicine supplies and is already making it harder to attract vital medical staff.

“And we already know that Donald Trump wants to use a post-Brexit trade deal to rip up the rulebook and open our NHS to American drug firms.

“That would mean higher prices for medicine and a worse deal for patients.

“We’re working as hard as possible to mitigate the impact of Brexit on our health service – but any Brexit will have consequences for our NHS.

“We need to send the strongest possible message that we will not stand for this. A vote for the SNP on Thursday will make clear that Scotland will not stand for Brexit.” … See MoreSee Less

Thanks to the team at Home-Start East Fife for taking the time to meet with me earlier this week. It was great to find out more about the crucial work they do helping families across North East Fife.
Interestingly, the St Andrews-based organisation was the first Home-Start in Fife, opening in 1987, and one of the first in Scotland to set up, recognising the need for support in this area. The team do a lot of work with families helping them to enjoy time together, learn essential skills and support them through difficulties.
There are many pockets of deprivation in North East Fife and St Andrews and the East Neuk in particular, where those who are struggling can feel very isolated. It is so good to know that there are charities like Home-Start East Fife and others helping them.
I was glad to recently be able to help ensure Fife Council funding for over 30 voluntary organisations across Fife was extended for a further six months. This allows them to continue their good work.
If anyone would like to get involved with Home-Start East Fife they are always grateful for volunteers. Please contact Joanne on 01334 477548. … See MoreSee Less

It was great to take part in the Meet Your MP event at Kettle Church hall on Thursday morning. It is always good to be able to meet constituents and talk about my work in the constituency and at Westminster, and how I can be of assistance.
Thanks to everyone who took the time to come along and have a chat. There is a lot of good work going on in the community and it was great to find out more about some of the projects.
Coffee mornings take place in the hall every Thursday and are open to all so please go along, you will be made to feel very welcome.
Meet Your MP is a great initiative by the Scottish Churches Parliamentary Office (SCPO), an ecumenical organisation that encourages parliamentary engagement with churches across Scotland. … See MoreSee Less
