Rachael Hamilton MSP: Swinney is 'distracted' by his 'obsession' with independence (opens the original)
Read excerpt
WHEN I speak to local residents in the Borders, they don't expect politicians to perform miracles or even achieve unrealistic results. All that people really want is for politicians to prioritise the most important issues that impact all of our daily lives. They want to see MSPs and MPs putting all their attention and energy onto the key things that can make the Borders, Scotland and the whole UK better. They want representatives to focus on keeping bills down, growing the economy, improving our
Rachael Hamilton MSP: The 'danger' of scrapping NHS Borders (opens the original)
Read excerpt
JOHN SWINNEY'S decision to abolish NHS Borders and reduce the number of health boards across Scotland seems to be a desperate bid to fix deep-rooted problems that have developed in our healthcare system over the last two decades of SNP rule.

Read excerpt
HERE in the Borders, we're lucky to have some of the best agricultural shows in the whole country. Over the past few weeks, it has been a pleasure to attend both the Border Union Show in Kelso and the Duns Show. Once again, it was clear why people in our rural communities look forward to these events so much. They are wonderful days out for families, bringing together people from towns, villages and farming communities to celebrate the very best of the Borders. Whether you come to see the livest
Rachael Hamilton MSP: 'Common sense' prevails as Labour U-turn (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I WAS delighted to see the UK Labour government reverse its plans to scrap the hourly payments made to Coastguard rescue officers. These dedicated volunteers give up their time to respond to emergencies in all weathers. The modest payments they receive recognise the time they give up from work and family life to attend call-outs and training. The original proposals would have risked driving experienced volunteers away from the service at a time when recruitment and retention are already challeng
