Indeed. Shows just what a carcrash the Tories have become if even a moderate like Stewart feels he has to leave the party. He isn't even a remainer. Looks like the Tories are becoming unpalatable to many diehards. If Johnson doesn't get a majority,and that looks unlikely then civil war will break out on the right. Btw it shows how right wing our media is that he's just another one whose left. If so many deserted the Labour party it would the headlines for days.

He's resigning because he's standing for Mayor of London against an offishul Tory candidate. Strikes me as a fairly strange move. London is almost as super-pro-remain as Edinburgh and Stewart doesn't oppose Brexit, just no-deal. Sadiq Khan is no Corbynite either, so the safe middle ground pitch isn't really going to wash either. I think he's got a little caught up in his own hubris.

The fact our press refer to Johnson as Boris says it all. They portray him as a lovable rogue, can't remember any headlines mentioning Tony, David or Theresa.

Rather sweeping statement that and it also depends what you mean by ‘our’ and ‘they’...I’ve read plenty of press that doesn’t just call him Boris and isn’t portraying him as lovable.

But anyway just for laughs here’s a wee pic or two to prove my point:




Of course that did comes from a paper that also also produced this beauty so clearly anything is possible

If the sun was a newspaper you'd have proved your point ;-)

Didn't really know where to put this but with Michael Gove being outed as "staunch" along with his tag team members Murdo and Tomkins I felt it was the ideal thread..

Prior warning, you may self combust with cringe...

In all serious though, how f'd up are parts of the West of Scotland? I'm glad Edinburgh for the most part is shielded from this crap, the children in attendance will grow up thinking this sort of ***** is normal.

Arcuri told her friends that she was ****ging Johnson. Then told a reporter in a car park that she hadn't been ****ging him. Now today uses a military metaphor to explain why she's refusing to answer whether she ****ged him or not.

Not too hard to see why they got on so well.

All part of the Bannon process. It's going to be so hard to predict the election. The Tories have gone extreme. Time will tell if this populist rhetoric will work. I have my doubts it will.

[Fife-Hibee]

I see Labour lost an amendment last night to protect the NHS from further privitization. Voted down by every tory MP and abstainations from 8 blairites and every Lib Dem MP.

Coverage in the media as good as non existent.

I’m confused. I thought she resigned the leadership of the Tories in Scotland to spend more time with her family!

Second new job she has taken since she resigned. This one is out of order though because she is still a paid MSP.
Helps neutralise her as head of BT2 if she can be painted as a stooge for big business.

Is it anymore unacceptable than Douglas Ross? He miraculously falls under the radar. Even although he can't keep his political interests out of his other job.

He’s way less important politically.

All tory politicians in Scotland are unimportant imo. It's his importance in his other job that bothers me.

[Fife-Hibee]

Could you imagine the sheer disgust and outrage whipped up by the media had an SNP MSP taken up that job? We'd be hearing about it for weeks on end.

But because it's media darling Davidson, she gets a free pass.

Why is anybody surprised. The libdems have no decency and will do anything to get power as clegg showed when lying about tuition fees.

"So, The £50k lobbying Lobby cash Ruth Davidson receives will go to a new company she has just set up for reasons of “tax efficiency” or, as some of us might put it, tax dodging."



Working out well for Ruth, steps down from the leadership role when she had to finally face up to Boris, gets a cushy 50k that she'll pay minimal tax on, and hides at the back ready to jump back into politics when Better Together 2 needs a leader.


Do we still have posters here ripping the tap aff it about how fantastic she is?

for 'working' 24 days/year, kin sickening, i just don't get the clamour to listen to her, the bag o wind, i still suffer with visions of her bounding onto the stage to snog the dancing queen May, then watching her put on her angry face to appease the tory audience.

Said this for ages and always refer to him as Johnston (or de Pfeffel).

For those complaining about Ruth the Mooths extra money.

It's been happening forever with our elected representatives so I'm not sure what the fuss is about. And RtMs money is chicken feed in comparison with others!

I don't like her or her politics (if she actually has any).

She could have made sexist jokes at a one woman fringe show and got her own show on a foreign backed TV station I guess. Or just done what the rest of them do, sign up for the speaking circuit.

[CloudSquall]

My problem with Ruth is she shat out of defending Boris and co and used her family as the excuse to do so but all of a sudden she has time for a new venture, yet she's never actually seen in Edinburgh Central.


But hey, she "stuck it to wee jimmy krankie" which is enough for the unionists amongst us...

It's not so much the money. It's the conflict of interests between the 2 jobs. Anybody is entitled to make whatever amount of money they like in any given period of time. But when 1 job directly conflicts with the interests of the other (particularly in a profession of public representation), then it becomes problematic.

A Scottish Tory MSP tipped as a leadership contender has been blasted for sharing a “callous” and “heartless” message about the poor and the unemployed.
Michelle Ballantyne, a right winger who backs Boris Johnson, circulated comments questioning why the wealthy should pay for people at the bottom of society.

there's just too many great contenders for the leadership of the scottish tories who votes for they people, seriously
