Today 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇨🇦🇯🇵 have led @G7 allies with sanctions to ban the import of Russian gold - cutting off funding for Putin’s war machine and further isolating Russia from the international financial system.

We wanted to pay a special tribute to @ZelenskyyUa as he sadly couldn’t be with us in person at the @G7 ⤵️ https://twitter.com/JustinTrudeau/status/1541154963363094530
As the @G7 gathers in Germany, Prime Minister @BorisJohnson and I want to be very clear about our support for Ukrainians and for President @ZelenskyyUa: It is unwavering. We stand with you, and we are staying the course.
Congratulations to all involved - particularly on being awarded the ‘Best Project’ and Scottish overall ‘Winner’, in the 2022 @RTPIPlanners 🏴 Awards, for the ‘Fraserburgh Conservation Area Renewal Scheme Townscape Heritage Project’ @fraserburgh2021
Really grateful for the time 🇬🇧 Chancellor of the Exchequer, @RishiSunak MP, took to spend with North East 🏴 @ScotTories members today.
Huge thanks to everyone who was able to come along at short notice.

@AndrewBowie_MP
The energy sector is vital for the economy through the jobs it supports, the energy security it provides and for our transition to net zero.
It was great to speak with energy companies in Aberdeen about the future of the industry, including investment in North Sea oil & gas.
North East Scotland MPs @AndrewBowie_MP & @david_duguid came to see us in Aberdeenshire, where our build has reached 23k+ properties. That means 1 in 5 homes & businesses there can now order Full Fibre 🏘️👷🏻♀️👷🏻♂️💪

An extract from my speech on #GeneEditing last week. Door is still open for Scot Govt to join UK Govt in this approach that would benefit farmers,food producers and reasearch institutes in 🏴 and across 🇬🇧.
SNP: “waiting for the EU…”, and, “the trouble with farmers…!”
The SNP are ignoring the science on future technologies such as Nuclear Fusion and Gene Editing. They are threatening to hold Scotland back.
My question today about the @NFUStweets comments on Gene Editing:
Deighted to support @JoCoxFoundation on their @great_together campaign.

Was a pleasure to catch up with @neccusalliance last week at the @IDRICUK 🇬🇧 @UKParliament Reception.
@ScottishCluster @AcornProject_UK
Catching up with @david_duguid MP at the @IDRICUK Parliamentary Reception last week. Great to have his support and attention on such an important issue as #decarbonisation of #industry.

A great time had - as usual - at last weekend’s @STBFPortsoy Scottish Traditional Boat Festival in #Portsoy.
Thanks to all who came up and said hello at the #BanffAndBuchan @ScotTories stall. Looking forward to supporting and attending this fantastic event in the future.
Fine day up at the Boat Festival in Portsoy, helping to man the Banff and Buchan Conservatives stall.
I was delighted to meet with Paul Higson of the @theNESPT and hear about the ongoing plans for the former Clydesdale Bank in the Broch. #Fraserburgh #portsoy
We are thankful we have our own 🇬🇧 gas resources at this time.
On Friday, I visited the Elgin platform 230km off the Scottish 🏴 🇬🇧 coast.
Produces 5% of UK gas needs.
Complex work - gas comes at 100C, needs cooling to -35C, depressurising purifying, compressing & sent to UK.

Mr President, Volodymyr,
It is good to be in Kyiv again.
Today we host the UK-Ukraine Infrastructure Summit to help #Ukraine rebuild post conflict 🇬🇧🇺🇦
Swipe below to find out what the Summit is all about 👇
Read the full story: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-pledges-support-to-help-ukraine-rebuild-post-conflict
Companies like @TotalEnergiesUK are providing the energy security the UK needs today - while building the renewable energy system of tomorrow.
£11bn of UK investments planned for the next decade - 70% of which will be in renewables.
Making me feel old! I remember when Elgin was ‘new!’
Our existing AND new #oilandgas developments are SO important to our ongoing #EnergySecurity in 🇬🇧.
Companies like @TotalEnergiesUK are also at the forefront of #EnergyTransition to #NetZero
We are so glad to have our own gas resources at this time!
Operational since 2001, @TotalEnergiesUK's Elgin Platform in the Central North Sea produces 5% of the UK's gas demand.
Fantastic to visit today and understand its key role in UK energy security now and in the future.
#Aberdeen and wider North East 🏴 set to become #EnergyTransition Capital, with #SupplyChains that can serve the 🌍, not just the #northsea as was discussed at this week’s @EEC_Energy Exports Conference.
Back on my way to #Aberdeen for the fourth time in nine months as Energy & Climate Change Minister.
Aberdeen 🇬🇧 🏴 rightly bills itself as the Energy Capital of Europe!
Renewables, oil & gas, and strong potential for Hydrogen and CCUS. And huge number of ancillary services!
#PensionCredit is a top up for most vulnerable pensioners worth an average £3,300. As well as a cash top up to the #StatePension, it leads to a suite of other benefits such as help with #HousingCosts, #CouncilTax reduction schemes, #HeatingBills and a free over-75s #TVLicence
Welcome news while we continue to develop and extract as much hydrocarbons from 🇬🇧 waters as we can.
Even if EVERY UKCS #oilandgas field currently on the table gets the go ahead, we will STILL be a net importer with declining supplies, as we progress #EnergyTransition to #NetZero
GAS DEAL🇬🇧🇳🇴
Britain’s Centrica has signed a major deal with Norway’s Equinor, boosting UK supply for the next 3 winters.
With ongoing uncertainty in Europe, securing extra supply is welcome as we maximise gas production in British waters and accelerate nuclear and renewables.
I took part today in the Intergovernmental Commission on trade between the UK and Azerbaijan🇬🇧🇦🇿
I discussed with Minister @ParvizShahbazov how the UK can support Azerbaijan’s economic diversification across sectors including infrastructure, agriculture and healthcare.🤝🏼
Great to be in #Scotland together with @minenergyaze @ParvizShahbazov and witness the operation of the offshore wind farm operated by #floatationenergy first-hand. Green energy and some striking views just off the coast of #Aberdeen https://twitter.com/ParvizShahbazov/status/1537031600579481601
During the visit to the #UK, we paid a visit to #Kincardine, the largest operating #FloatingWindFarm of the world, which is located 15 kilometres off the coast of #Aberdeenshire, #Scotland. The 50 MW wind farm is in water 60 to 80 metres deep.
14 June 2022 marks the 40th anniversary of the end of the #FalklandsWar. Many #Falklands veterans and their families still live with the consequences of the conflict - including in #BanffAndBuchan - Poppy Scotland is there to support them.

That’s ok @NAOorguk can pick up the slack 🙂 https://twitter.com/ChrisMusson/status/1535943476700930048
We also report today how senior SNP figures have spoken about “clipping the wings” of Audit Scotland after its reports in recent years caused major discomfort for ministers over shortcomings on NHS, education and recently the ferries procurement fiasco
Extremely telling but not surprising!
It's telling that the one department the SNP are actively trying to make worse than the UK equivalent, is the audit office...
In #CarersWeek2022 I would like to add my own thanks to carers of all kinds - particularly #UnpaidCarers on whom their loved ones depend so much.
This #CarersWeek, I want to thank the millions of carers across the UK for all they do to support their loved ones.
(1/4) By holding the census in 🏴 a whole year later than the rest of 🇬🇧, they made a right mess of it - not just for 🏴 but for the 🇬🇧 as a whole!

Look who’s in town! 🇬🇧
@BWallaceMP
SNP/Green Scottish Govt ignoring evidence and desires of Scottish farmers, on taking advantage of developments in gene editing techniques.
UK Govt moving forward and SNP/Greens holding 🏴 back as usual.
I asked Lorna Slater if the SNP-Green coalition will support Scottish farmers and scientists and back the UK Government’s gene editing laws.
Bizarrely, Lorna wants to leave the EU lights on, but pull the plug on hard-pressed Scottish farmers.
The Greens are a danger to Scotland.
I utterly condemn the sentencing of Aiden Aslin and Shaun Pinner held by Russian proxies in eastern Ukraine.
They are prisoners of war. This is a sham judgment with absolutely no legitimacy.
My thoughts are with the families. We continue to do everything we can to support them.

Was great to catch up with 🏴 Fisheries representatives today at @HouseofCommons prior to their appearance at the @CommonsEFRA Committee this afternoon.
• Elspeth Macdonald, @sff_uk 🚤

(1/5) Since this situation arose, I’ve repeatedly expressed my concerns at the behaviour and culture that was reported at Downing Street and the Cabinet Office.
#DDay78
78 Years ago, #OperationOverlord took place on the beaches of Normandy.
Today we remember those who fell as well as those who returned, who entered the battle.
Thoughts also to all who have served since, and could be called on to fight for Queen and country anytime 🫡 🇬🇧
Today marks 78 years since D-Day.
If you have a few minutes to spare today, spend them listening to D-Day and Royal Marines veteran Trevor Stacey. Trevor passed away last year but in 2019 spoke movingly of what he remembered of 6 June 1944.
#DDay78
The whole 🇬🇧 has been celebrating #PlatinumJubilee and thanking The Queen for 70 yrs of dedicated service.
I would also like to thank all community councils, charities, volunteers and other community groups for organising so many great events across #BanffAndBuchan
#JustASample
Thank you to Her Majesty for 70 years of service.
Long may she reign.
Prince George's face says it all. Pride, joy and gratitude for a wonderful 70 years. The #PlatinumJubilee has been a very special celebration.
#Turriff #PlatinumJubilee party
“Oh what a beautiful day”, indeed!
Live music, provided by Turriff Community Singers and @TurriffSilver Band - as well as a steady stream of popular music from @DeveronFM
Great way to end a fantastic #jubileeweekend 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 🇬🇧
2/3 From Peterhead, I moved on to #Fraserburgh to join Cllr @James_A_Adams and other revellers to enjoy the @FraserburghFC @ScottishHFL champion’s parade
⚽️ 🏆
1/3 Great time had in 🌞 around #BanffAndBuchan yesterday.
Started with #PlatinumJubilee themed Producers Market in #Peterhead.
Great to see local food and drink producers joined by several others from around 🏴.
30 million people in Europe live with some form of Rare Disease. This is equivalent to:
The population of Ghana
The population of Yemen
Twice the population of Istanbul
3 times the population of Seoul
And 33 times the capacity of Wembley Stadium
Your Majesty, Mummy,
The scale of this evening's celebration - and the outpouring of warmth and affection over this whole Jubilee weekend - is our way of saying thank you - from your family, the country, the Commonwealth, in fact the whole world.
- HRH The Prince of Wales
In the 100 days since Putin’s barbaric invasion, Ukrainians have fought back with supreme courage and dignity.
Our support for Ukraine will never waver until Ukrainians enjoy the peace and freedom that their heroism deserves.
1/2 Was delighted to join the huge crowds turning out in London to celebrate #PlatinumJubilee and show gratitude for The Queen’s 70 years of dedicated service.
