Breaking news: Ruth Davidson quits

August 29, 2019

RUTH Davidson has resigned as leader of the Scottish Conservatives after eight years.

She has been widely credited with turning around the fortunes of the Tories in Scotland, but backed opponents of Boris Johnson in the Conservative leadership race and has said she could not support a no-deal Brexit.

It has been the privilege of my life to serve as @ScotTories leader. This morning I wrote to the Scottish party chairman to tender my resignation. pic.twitter.com/CJ9EjW2RqN
