I'm only about a decade late to the party, but I've finally joined Insta. Find me at ruthdavidsonpc (It's the one with the pic of me hugging Finn, not some random legacy MSP account). Join me - I want friends!

James will make a brilliant London mayor. Can't wait to get out and campaign for him. 👍
London needs more than an administrator. It needs a champion, someone who understands its potential and is prepared to fight for its future. That’s why I’m running to be the Conservative Candidate for London Mayor. thetimes.com/comment/columni…

thetimes.com/article/a2b1ce0… Lots to agree with here from Malcolm Rifkind. Who has held so many offices that the Times just gave up and went with 'he was an MP' (7 ministerial positions, of which 4 were cabinet, including the biggies of Defence and Foreign Sec). Worth a listen?

My Lord. What mad, brilliant brain made this happen? Seabrook Prawn Cocktail in the absolute premier league of crisps, too. Amazing.
Crisp dust! The most sacred of seasonings, now available in its purest form. Find it in @bmstores and @Morrisons. 📷 instagram.com/new_in_ni

I mean, absolutely zero potential conflict of interest here. None whatsoever... 🙄
I have spoken to the CEO of Tendring District Council. Reform has offered to cover the cost of the by-election. I will be writing to Rachel Reeves later today with the same message. Given that we asked for this by-election in the first place, it’s only right that we pay for it.

I took ages to work out why Farage didn't declare the £5million late, once the standards inquiry started. It's public anyway. But if he cedes the principle, he'd have to declare ALL donations for the 12 months before the GE. And perhaps there's so much more we DON'T know about.
EXCLUSIVE Nigel Farage failed to declare that a criminal and crypto gambler paid for his staff, security, drivers, social media output in year before election Reform leader has also received free accommodation in Westminster from George Cottrell as MP thetimes.com/uk/politics/art…

Just accompanied Joe on ascent number 30 of Berwick Law - nearly half way there! He's doing the Everest challenge to raise money for @BloodBikesScot - a fabulous charity whose volunteers help the NHS every day. More info - and donate - here: everestchallenge.enthuse.com…

If what this SNP branch secretary says is true - that the party's in-house solicitor knew (and was discussing) problems with SNP finances three YEARS before Murrell's arrest - that blows Swinney's paper-thin "we're the victims, nothing more to see here" routine out of the water.

Come for @HarrietHarman 's Burnham take ('he'll be PM by August), stay for me attempting to shoehorn the words "Aberdeen South" in as often as possible. @BethRigby is ringmaster and provides all the journalistic analysis you need. #ElectoralDysfunction open.spotify.com/episode/14O…
