Scottish Conservative leader Douglas Ross has backtracked on comments he made suggesting Conservative voters could vote Labour at the next general election in seats where Sir Keir Starmer’s party had a better chance of winning against the SNP.
Mr Ross’s comments regarding the next general election in an interview with The Sunday Telegraph suggested Conservative voters “do what is best for the country” and support “the strongest candidate to beat the SNP”, strongly suggesting that may involve voting Labour, where they are in the best place to beat the SNP.
