Resigned after less than 6 months in the post of Scottish Conservative leader. Back to selling cars or do you think he will get a seat in the Lords along with Ruth the Mooth?

Oh Gawd. BBC started auto-playing videos ? Must stop going there, then.

[youngmafbog]

Why should he?

He felt he wasnt up to the job, he resigned. Good on him actually too many, of all colours, carry on with their blithering incompetence.

[anneasquith]

I watched him at first ministers questions the other day. Oh dear! , had to be pushed .

Leader of the Scottish Conservative Party must be one of the worst job in politics.
2 leaders resigning because they couldn’t tow the party line. Interesting this resignation has come a few days after a morale boosting visit to Scotland by the Prime Minister.

Nothing to do with the question,but...Nationalism and nationalists are widely reviled throughout the world.Up here in Scotland must be the only place where they get voted back in again and again.Must be something to do with the Scottish psyche.

Not quite sure whose morale Boris was boosting in Scotland. He flew to Orkney, not even mainland Scotland.

[Old_Geezer]

Didn't that boost the morale of mainland Scots ?

[ynnafymmi]

During the last Scottish referendum the people of Orkney and Shetland said if Salmond and Sturgeon got their wishes come true they would resolve to have their own referendum to stay with our friends in England.If Scotland ever gets independence then the north and south of Scotland will do everything in our powers to retain ties with the rest of the UK,even if we have to declare independence from the central belt.Why should we do all the work and all the chancers and workshy down in Glasgow and Dundee get all the benefits.

Looks like Douglas Ross might replace him. Scottish Tories know they need to put clear blue water between themselves and Johnson/Cummings (the former has a minus 56 approval rating there). Mr Ross would be a good start.

[Spicerack]

ynnafymmi should give it a bash. I'd vote for him.

[Zacs-Master]

It matters not a jot to us south of the thistle line. We just watch you’re ridiculous self delusions and have a quiet chuckle. But like Rangers and Celtic thinking their big clubs.

[Zacs-Master]

They’re

Some of us who live here shake their heads in despair at the twinkers who think they are politicians.
We are all extremely grateful that Boris travelled 'all the way to Scotland'

He'll be back to selling cars, in answer to the op
