Boris Johnson has been branded “a walking advert for independence” ahead of a visit Scotland on Monday.
The Prime Minister is due in Edinburgh and Fife on Monday as part of a “levelling up” tour of the UK but there are no plans for him to meet with Scottish Conservative leader Douglas Ross who has called for him to quit over the Downing Street partygate scandal.
But the trip comes with Johnson balancing the need to answer a legal questionnaire from Scotland Yard officers investigating whether he broke his own Covid laws and the potential Russian invasion of Ukraine.
