I've been working hard this past month to stand up for the Borders and represent your views in the UK Parliament.
I recently joined thousands of farmers, including some from the Borders, in a protest outside the UK Parliament to outline our opposition to Labour's Family Farm Tax.
I also had a chance to speak in a Westminster debate to set out why Labour's plans are so damaging, reckless, cruel and naive.
The Family Farm Tax would prevent many people in the Borders from passing on their farms to the next generation.
Labour's Family Farm Tax could drive up supermarket prices, put food security at risk, and leave us forced to import more food from abroad at great harm to our environment.
I will continue to oppose it and campaign for Labour to ditch it.
I recently voted against assisted dying legislation when it came to a vote in the UK Parliament.
This is a very sensitive topic and I considered a wide range of views before deciding my position.
I know many people feel strongly in favour of the legislation and I can understand that.
However, I ultimately felt that the bill that was brought forward contained too many flaws. It could be open to misuse and it doesn't have the protections that it should.
I was also disappointed at how little time was allocated for scrutiny of the legislation, which is vital for good lawmaking, especially around an issue of this nature.
Other MPs voted for this legislation so it passed at this stage but has not yet been signed into law. I remain opposed to it but I hope at the very least, this bill can be improved as it passes through the parliamentary process.
The consultation period for the Cross Border Connection Project has been extended to December 23 after pressure from the Scottish Conservatives.
We have campaigned to ensure that local views are heard and respected.
These plans cannot go ahead against the wishes of local communities.
I will continue to stand up for the rights of Borders residents to decide what happens to our countryside and environment.
