Article / By Drew Hendry MP

There can’t be many people who hold the banking industry up as a positive example of anything, but at least you get to choose how much of your money is retained in your bank account. You may even be paid interest. The same cannot, however, be said about most energy companies. Soaring prices of energy …

Sunak or Truss: The Clock Is Ticking.

Economy, Energy / By Drew Hendry MP

Case for the UK Union: Law-Breaking, Lies & Cronyism

Scotland's Choice / By Drew Hendry MP

When asked to list the benefits of being in the UK Union, Scottish Tory leader Douglas Ross was left scrambling for answers. He landed on the UK’s covid response and vaccine deployment when pressed.
