SCOTTISH Tory leader Douglas Ross was left squirming after being grilled over the UK Government’s catastrophic mini-budget and market-crashing tax cuts.
The Tory MSP was taken to task over his party’s decisions which led to the pound collapsing, soaring mortgage rates and an emergency intervention from the Bank of England (BoE) to stop pension pots from collapsing.
Speaking to STV’S Colin Mackay outside of the Scottish Parliament, Ross was asked if he thought Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng’s budget would “turbocharge the economy” when it has instead turbocharged the cost crisis.
