The reckless use of e-bikes on Aberdeen's streets is a growing problem.

Glad Police Scotland was able to take action and seize these illegally-modified bikes - but they urgently need more support from the SNP to crack down on this properly:

12 people have been charged in connection with a series of offences.

The Counselling House is a fantastic charity in Aberdeen, offering free counselling to young people and their families.

This week I raised their important work in the House of Commons and called on the government to hold a debate on how we can support young people’s mental health ⬇

New drilling should be a no-brainer.

So come on Andy Burnham, what are you waiting for?

If today’s reports are true and Labour has finally seen sense on Jackdaw, let’s get the official go-ahead and get drilling.

Every week Labour dithers and delays on new oil and gas, North Sea jobs are being lost.

The SNP want you to think that they've changed their minds on oil and gas. They haven't ⬇️

The North Sea energy industry doesn't just affect the big oil and gas production companies - it also supports hundreds of businesses and jobs in its supply chain.

And for these supply chain businesses to continue to thrive in the UK, we need to back new drilling.

Labour needs to listen to the experts and approve new drilling now ⬇️

Nick Butler, who was Gordon Brown's energy advisor, wants the region to avoid suffering the same fate as mining communities.

The gas network is absolutely crucial for heating homes and powering businesses.

That's why it's vital that Jackdaw is given the go ahead, so that we can produce as much of our own gas here in the UK as possible.
