Oil and Gas Lobby tells Farage his anti green energy drive is a mistake. Love it.

From litter picking in Hurlford, visiting the Kinship Carers fundraising coffee morning at Centrestage, to visiting the Farmers Market at Kilmarnock Cross, it has been a great springtime sunny Saturday across the communities of Kilmarnock East & Hurlford.

Those who sow chaos and disinformation to disrupt others should remember: the forces they unleash have no loyalty, and one day, will turn on them.

That day was today.

A busy day in ward 4 today, a wonderful Community Christmas Lunch at Take a Bow then on to the Kilmarnock Kinship Carers Christmas Party where I gave Santa a bit of a help out given he’s so busy at the moment!

A great night last night at Townholm Bowling Club for their Christmas party night, with a guest appearance by Santa himself! Great to see the club so busy and with everyone enjoying the festivities! πŸŽ…πŸŽ„πŸŽπŸ»πŸΎ

Putin is all heart. One day they should share a cell block at The Hague.

Rest in peace my dear friend & colleague Councillor Maureen McKay, a passionate defender of the communities she was so proud to represent in Kilmarnock North. Maureen’s sense of style, her determination, intellect & kindness made her one of the most formidable politicians I’ve ever known.

Great to spend time with some of the committee of Hurlford Bowling Club in my ward, we talked about the great facilities they have and funding for improvements & energy costs. Thanks to Jan, Jacqueline, Ian, Sheila & Jim for showing me around today and thanks for the cuppa and cake too!

Did the Lib Dems really run on a platform of β€œhere’s a map to our rivals’ houses”??

Half our energy is green, yet fossil fuels set the price. If the government reformed the market, energy bills would go down immediately.

Absolutely unbelievable: the Lib Dem councillor elected *last week* has already resigned. Utterly gobsmacking, though not entirely without precedent; an Elgin councillor quit within a week or two of the 2017 elections. www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politic...

A great win for a fabulous candidate. Jim Kyle will be a fantastic Councillor for the Doon Valley!

As the exodus from X continues hopefully this platform will be less toxic.
