Donathan Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Ross calling for resignation would likely mean the other Scottish Tory MPs will be writing no confidence letters to Brady too (apart from Alister Jack as he’s on the government payroll) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"BBC London went to Uxbridge" Easiest gig any BBC reporter will ever have, find a tory in a very safe seat, and ask them why they like the tories. What's more it just happens to be a short drive from your studio. Wraps things up nicely. Edited January 12, 2022 by Ric 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. Ana's Sarwar doesn't have the bottle to upset the London Labour hierarchy. But as Ric says, Ross' statement isn't done out of any honourable gesture. It is just pure opportunism, a very Tory trait. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 (edited) It's got to be hard for Ross to make such a bold statement via the press. Of course some wags amongst you may have already realised that he only did that after Blackford had done so, and had done it to his face while being broadcast to the nation. But, yeah, let's give wee Doogie his moment in the sun. Typical tories, behind the curve at every single turn. 1 minute ago, Donathan said: Uxbridge isn’t a very safe seat.

DeeTillEhDeh Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I think he's done for this time. Not only is there no right answer available to him today, but there's not even a better one. If he tries humble apology, he's admitting to breaking the law and lying to the house. If he doesn't, he's insulting everyone, further enraging public and back bench opinion. I might be wrong, but I cannot see how he comes through this.As predicted by many he's gone for the insult people's intelligence response. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I wonder if Ross is looking to topple Jack. No comment at all from him, yet you'd expect the journos to have contacted the Secretary of State for Scotland for a response considering the context. Let's be honest here, wee Doogie loves his second (and third, and fourth?) job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only person who can fire Jack and promote Ross is the PM and given Wee Doogie has hardly endeared himself to Johnson by calling for his head... I suspect he'll find himself 'running the line' for a while yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell you what though, I see a good chunk of tory MSPs have backed Ross' call for Johnson to go. That should be interesting if he doesn't.

Billy Jean King Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 A lot being made of those Tories coming out publicly against the walking cadaver but fair fucks to the one or two committing political suicide that have publicly backed him today. No matter how this plays out they have totally screwed their political careers. I can only assume they were planning on stepping down at the next election anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
