Hey.....if Davidson DOES resign, does that make Boris a Ruthless dictator?

It certainly does, Stanley.

Rape-clause Ruth, who is no great loss, was probably the brightest spark in the Scottish Tory cesspit, so the Scottish Tories are now fucked (which is good news).

Hopefully not, but I'd be surprised if the Tories hung on to all or most of their current seats here.

They have calculated losing them. They don't care.

So much then for the 'precious union' that was regularly bleated by the previous Tory PM.

Talking of Ross Thomson, The Wee Ginger Dug makes a nice passing mention of the aforesaid 'gentleman' in this sparlkling farewell to Ruthie. https://weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2019/08/28/the-end-game/

Thought this para was on-the-button:

This is the last bastion of One Nation Conservatism giving up the struggle, and the Tories in London giving up on Scotland as a lost cause as they transform themselves into an openly English nationalist party. When even the face of opposition to Scottish independence can’t support her own party leader in Westminster, we are in the end game for this so-called union.

Saw this twitter comment aimed at Boris and his acolytes from a 'Hugh Grant' (no idea if it is the actor) - I'd have to agree with him.

Saw it to and wondered if it was real. According to Huffpost it is.

The more I think about it, the more I conclude that Nicola Sturgeon's best hope for independence is to call an election asap with a manifesto commitment to independence. It would show a form of leadership that is lacking elsewhere and would happen before the Salmond court case which I think will damage the SNP no matter what the outcome. I think it has a good chance of ending Nicola's career.

Looking at the odds, Murdo Fraser is current favourite to succeed Ruth Davidson. Last time he floated the idea of making the Scottish Tories independent - I wonder if it will be the same pitch?

In Davidson's statement she said she felt her political involvement had made her a "poor daughter, sister, partner and friend". It is a very odd life being a politician.

And a quite creepy paean to Ruth Davidson

That piece makes my skin-crawl - after her despicable attitude involving the rape-clause policy I'm glad to see the back of her.

Whether there has been an over reaction to the PM's latest antics or not, this should serve as a reminder as to what a bunch of lying liars we have supposedly governing us:
