Protecting Scotland's Place in the UK

Local MP John Lamont has said he will be voting again for a General Election this evening as the only way to get Brexit sorted.

The Scottish Government’s own figures show the stark cost to Scotland of putting up a border at Berwick.

The Chancellor, Philip Hammond MP is expected to announce the UK Government will be contributing £260m to the Borderlands Growth Deal.

The UK Government has been supporting Growth Deals across the UK since 2014. To date, this has included more than £1.3bn of investment in Scotland.

John Lamont MP has met with the Chancellor of the Exchequer to discuss what the Borders needs out of the Autumn Budget, expected next month.

Residents from all over one of the UK’s largest constituencies have had the opportunity to meet their MP and MSP this summer.

Local MP John Lamont has marked a year into his new job by starting his 2,000th constituency case as a Member of Parliament.

As the First Minister announces she is set to “restart the debate on independence”, local politicians have said they will continue to stand up for the majority of the Borders who just want to move on from the constitutional debate.

Local Scottish Conservative politicians have warned that plans to hike income tax in Scotland would risk an exodus of investment and businesses out of the Scottish Borders.

The Scottish Government have published a range of options for increasing income tax.
