Outrage from Scots Tories after peer says devolution should be reversed

Scottish Tory MSPs have hit out after a Conservative lord said that devolution should be put '"into reverse".

David Frost wrote in a piece for The Telegraph that "it's time to reverse the process" of devolution. This provoked outrage amongst Scots Tory MSPs who called it "nonsense" and said it "threatens to undo" the work Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has done in Scotland.

Former Brexit Secretary Frost wrote that "The SNP’s implosion is a chance to put failing devolution into reverse. The Section 35 decision must be only the first step in a determined campaign to reverse the many mis-steps of recent years... It's very obvious that riding the tiger of Scottish nationalism has nearly seen the UK dismembered and gobbled up."
