THIS week’s Tory debate from Perth made for a punishing two hours for anyone tuning in. It encompassed everything that is wrong with both candidates and underlined why neither is remotely fit to be the next prime minister. Whoever wins, Scotland will lose.
They are competing to lead a Tory government which is breath-taking in its arrogance and cruelty. It has inflicted public service cuts and brutal benefit sanctions on our communities while pursuing a reckless and disastrous Brexit that Scotland voted against.
