ALISTER Jack has come out in defence of his “real friend” Douglas Ross as the Scottish Tory leader battles brewing rebellions in his own party.
The Scottish Secretary’s intervention comes after reports that Ross is facing “at least” two challenges to his leadership, with a possibility that moves could be made before Christmas.
Asked by journalists about the reports, the Moray MP hit out at the “anonymous briefings” against him, saying they handed “ammunition to the opposition when we should be firing all our ammunition towards a failing SNP government”.
