Secretary of state for Scotland David Mundell has hailed today’s UK Conservative manifesto as a plan “that delivers for Scotland”.

The Scottish Conservatives are to support free prescriptions in Scotland as part of a major review into the use of drugs in the NHS.

Gary Mulvaney has been announced as the Scottish Conservative and Unionist candidate for Argyll & Bute in the forthcoming General Election on June 8th.

On behalf of all the candidates, and our newly elected group of councillors, Argyll and Bute Conservative and Unionist Association would like to thank all of our members and supporters, who turned out in such great numbers and voted in the local elections last week. 

Across the country, Scotland has been turning blue today, with a significant increase in seats for Scottish Conservatives; results that were echoed in Argyll and Bute.

Tomorrow is your chance to choose councillors who will focus on the day to day job of supporting your community not one who will focus on indyref2.

The SNP have said it over and over again a vote for them is a vote for independence........it's all they care about.

Tomorrow the voters of the Kintyre and Islands ward will have an opportunity to elect a new, strong and energetic voice for our local area. 

It was a pleasure to be joined on Bute today by Shadow Secretary for Health, Donald Cameron MSP.

As we spoke to local residents, the recurring theme was opposition to Indyref2, with people just wanting the SNP to get on with the day job.

I had another great time out on the campaign trail today. I was leafleting and canvasing in Portnahaven, Port Wemyss, Port-Charlotte, Bruichladdich and Bowmore.

I was out again this afternoon in Newton, Ballygrant and Keills with local activists putting out our latest literature and listening to the concerns of my fellow local residents.
