it's not just coast, murray, aberdeenshire and so on.ce but brexit on the common fisheries policy, which is a key issue to vote is up there. the murray constituency voted 50—50 four brexit whereas the rest of scotland voted usually to remain in the uk. a lot of local issues going on there but for the tories they are the two areas they are focused on. interestingly, there are focused on. interestingly, there are some big hitters for the snp with constituencies in the north—east. that kind of ed balls, michael portillo moment, that's what the tories will be looking for on june the 8th. angus robertson for example, his seat. they will be looking for symbolic hits but more broadly at least picking up a handful of seats. they only have one at the moment so in a sense the only way is up but if they get anything approaching double figures, they will feel that they will have shifted their momentum in scottish politics and we will be at a new era. it's good to talk to you. polling day is onjune 8th, but the deadline to register to vote is tomorro

ruth davidson was in aberdeenshire where the tories are now the largest party on the council.e right across scotland, in aberdeenshire and beyond, can see it is only the scottish conservatives who can take the fight back. and against the snp. labour is now the single biggest party on just three councils. they make play a part in some coalitions elsewhere. we have agreed on a resolve not to do any deals or any coalitions with parties that will not pass things onto the poorest people. we will focus on investing in public services. former lib dem leader lord campbell had a chance encounter with a former labour lord. nationally they were encouraged by how they did in westminster target seats. we're going to win more seats. have a great chance of stopping the snp and the divisive independence referendum, standing up against the conservative hard brexit. labour can wave goodbye to the council in glasgow. in many places it is not clear who will end up in charge of local services. deals between rivals could be tricky this side of the general election. we will be finding out how the el

sochi than generalists in this country have to ask the prime minister questions in cornwall or aberdeenshirected, stage—managed campaign in history, which is an affront to democracy. it is worth reflecting on that point. therefore, while she tries to dismiss what happened last week as tittle tattle and gossip, actually it was of fundamental importance. it was an indication of the very detailed briefing we have seen the german newspapers repeated here, that actually the talks on brexit are threatening to break down even before they start, which indicates that the prime minister has started this campaign where she is refusing to a nswer this campaign where she is refusing to answer questions on a totally false prospectus. you can't say you are the best at being in charge of the negotiations when it seems these negotiations are crippled before they even begin. do we know just they even begin. do we knowjust from this, though, that things are breaking down really? it is early days in what will be at least a two—year process, if not longer. surely european countries who don't want britain to leav

on a visit to west hill in aberdeenshire to promote scotland's oil and gas industry, the snp were scathinge record of the tories on fuel poverty has been absolutely lamentable, so this announcement has got nothing to do with dealing with the poorest in society and everything with trying to win a general election and outflank the labour party. what is clear is the conservatives‘ desire to be putting themselves on the side of us, the consumer, rather than the energy companies. but what difference will it make? the energy sector has always criticised any move to cap prices, saying such a policy could in fact lead to people paying more. five out of the so called "big six" energy suppliers have raised their prices this year. so what could a cap mean for the consumer? our industry correspondent john moylan investigates. every three months, adam and margaret from eccles near manchester take a trip to their local bank. they are on a standard tariff, they‘ve been with the same energy suppliers for 30 years and when the quarterly bill arrives in the post, they like to pay it in full. i won‘t have di

i have aberdeenshire. this is a hung council. the tories on 23, snp on 21.her case of the conservatives are making progress. if we look at the change from 2012, they have put on nine seats and the snp have gone down eight seats in aberdeenshire. the lib dems up two, independents down two and labour are down one seat. i will bring ruth davidson in. thanks for joining will bring ruth davidson in. thanks forjoining us, ruth. headline thoughts on where you are today? i think today is shaping up to be a good day for the scottish conservatives. it consolidates some of the gains we made last year at the scottish parliament and became the scottish parliament and became the second party in scotland. people across scotland are looking for the scottish fight back against the snp where they have tried to create a sense of momentum. wherever you are, from the borders to the highlands, the only party strong enough to lead the only party strong enough to lead the fight back is the scottish conservatives. we have john nicholson, and i wonder what he might have to say about

england, keeping cloud across yorkshire, lincolnshire and north east scotland, under the cloud in aberdeenshirer west in the countryside with clearer skies the temperatures won't be far from freezing, these are the numbers more likely in towns and cities. what we have on monday is a west— east split, a cool breeze of the north sea feeding in cloud across central and eastern uk with more sunshine in the west. even with the sunshine in the west. even with the sunshine temperatures will be lower than they were today but we are still looking at the mid to high teens across south—west scotland and also northern ireland and the cloud may break across northern and eastern scotland and north east england at times. through the midlands, yorkshire, linkage, east anglia, sunshine in wales and the west, more in the way of cloud, not just the midlands but for the south—east of england as well particularly cold honours north sea coasts with the wind off the sea. the winds are coming around an area of high pressure that extends back towards greenland. that is dominating our weather for the start of the week a

perth, kinross, aberdeenshire, places where the snp have historically been strong but in last year'sher completely different battle between the snp and labour, i certainly wouldn't presume that we can infer anything about glasgow from what happened in the scottish borders and we will need to wait much longer before we get some evidence as to whether the snp is advancing relatively strongly in what we used to call red clydeside but these days seems to be rather more like nationalist clydeside. one final point, we have had quite a debate in the studio about the relative areas of labour's performance, just a judgment on how labour is doing generally? the truth is, if one takes the labour party's objective on june is, if one takes the labour party's objective onjune the 8th to be elected as the government and to replace the conservative party in office, the evidence at these local elections is that it is an awful long way away from that objective, and that indeed if the general election had been held yesterday the labour party would have suffered an even bigger defeat than it did in 2015
