Scottish Conservative leader Douglas Ross was tipped to be our next First Minister in The Herald this week by UK International Trade Secretary Liz Truss YOU report that Liz Truss, the UK International Trade Secretary, suggests that “Douglas Ross will be the next First Minister of Scotland”, he being “fantastic” ("Scotland will reap huge benefits from trade deals, Liz Truss insists", The Herald, July 22). I submit that he is “a great guy”, another of her terms, only according to the debased standards of post-Brexit Johnsonian Conservatism. In order to justify my assertion I suggest that your readers turn their minds back to the letter from John Dennis published on July 15 in which he pointed out that “all Scotland’s six Conservative MPs … voted to endorse the massive cuts of £4 billion in overseas aid”.
