Former Scottish Tory leader moved to tears in interview about partygate scandal
The former leader of the Conservatives in Scotland, Ruth Davidson, is a prominent figure in the party who has previously spoken out against Boris Johnson.
An interview she conducted a few minutes ago, however, was striking even by her standards and revealed the depth of feeling attached to the partygate scandal.
A visibly emotional Baroness Davidson appeared to be fighting back tears as she described why she felt so strongly about the matter.
"I am upset," she told Channel 4 News.
"Not just because of stuff myself and others in my close circle of family and friends missed and had to give up but, you know, I was working in the Scottish parliament, I had constituents who lost businesses, I had people that feel guilty that they didn't go to the care home to see their parents, that they didn't hug a friend at a funeral, because the played by the rules.
"And now they look at what happened in Number 10 and they feel like idiots, and they shouldn't be made to feel like that."
