Ruth Davidson.

Easy for Ruth when it stays on one trick pony ground. 

Indy, yes or no will come to an end shortly.

Then what has Ruth got, other than stealing OAPs free bus passes.

She's already shown that she'll do a bolter when asked uncomfortable questions.

[Glenconner]

Some might say SLAB and the SNP might have been/were completely shafted.

The Tories must be laughing their tits off regarding Scotland.

Outside of Indy we're effed regatding getting any social justice.

We already know what Ruth has.   She's been asking Questions from the left and now right side of FMQT, and like Dugdale hasn't laid a glove on Sturgeon.

I liked Annabel Goldie and the late David Mcletchie.  

Ruth is a huge step down in class and ability.

Ability as in taking the Tory carrots from 1 MP for 20 years to 13 in a day.

It's not my politics but credit where credits due.

If she wants to, she will be PM one day

If true that shows the incredible lack of talent available to the UK unionist parties.

I suspect however its not true. She will be found out, long before she gets anywhere near a position to do real damage.

In relation to Ruth for PM,

You can see why it's been suggested by some down South, on the face of it you'd have to assume that she's a competent politician, the reality of course is that she found a very niche 'policy' and used it in an arena where people (mostly mono-brows ) were willing to vote for it,  add to that Labour actively encouraging folk to vote Tory and you've got a situation that was able to mask her actual attributes

and her attributes are painfully poor - last weeks FMQs should vave been an absolute breeze for her as she could attack the FM for declaring the contents of a private call, and yet Sturgeon just handed her a great big f'ck off telt - it's the same every week - the opposition should be able to put the FM under pressure every single week and yet the FM always comes out looking the winner,

We've also seen that she can't handle a grilling, her Woman's Hour interview was absolute car crash stuff ... and then there's the Channel 4 thing from the other day where she get's increasingly agitated at the line of questioning before just fucking off without answering. Did she not also give an interview where she said imigration to Scotland was to much, not enough and just right all at the same time ?

 

She'd need to prove herself elsewhere before she'd seriously be considered for the role but oh the joy if they did just hand her the keys to No10. Glorious

[NotThePars]

Honestly want to see the SNP shelve indyref2 for a while just to see how much Ruth panics when she has to start attacking the SNP on policy and offering policy on her own. Every Scottish Conservative policy that's ever been posed under her leadership or suggested has been slaughtered.

As was shown in her "interview" with Channel 4 over the weekend, under the slightest bit of interrogation, RapeClauseRuth's atom thin veneer of bonhomie disappears into the ether.

There is no chance of either the Conservatives or Labour dropping the 'No to Indy' line, no matter what the SNP position on it is.  

If this election has shown one thing conclusively , it's that there is a huge part of the population of Scotland for which the union is the be all and end all.  Actual policies simply do not matter.  As an opposition politician, this must be mana from heaven.

Its ok

Most of them are wrinkly. Once they have went, its only the tiny minority orange mahogany napper types left.

Just a waiting game.

When and where have Scottish Labour actively encouraged people to vote Tory? I've heard that repeated numerous times on this site yet have not seen anything where anyone in the party leadership has encouraged voting Conservative.

Unless she is not the brightest , then surely this was a very strong message of unionist solidarity and hint to vote tory in the borders and North.

So full quote:

“The reality is the vast majority of seats across Scotland, it’s only the Labour party that can beat the SNP.

“There are a few differences in the Borders and the Highlands where the Tories might be better placed but right across Scotland’s centre belt, where the vast majority of Scotland’s population lives, the only party that can beat the SNP is the Labour party.”

That's not advocating voting Tory at all. It's actually a completely accurate summation of Scottish politics and sounds to me like a pitch to try to convince Tory unionists in the central belt to back Labour over the SNP, not sure why they would but a completely sensible pitch for the Scottish Labour leader to make.

But why is a Scottish labour leader briefing against the snp to the obvious benefit of the tories?

#Snp...baaaaaaa.......d

Once again she positioned scottish labour as the tory yoon pazzi.

Corbyn must be raging.
