Tory leadership candidate Rishi Sunak has admitted ignoring Nicola Sturgeon's SNP would be "dangerously complacent". Laying out his plans for Scotland if he were to become prime minister, Sunak said his government would be the most active north of the border in decades.
Sunak said he would send ministers to Scotland more regularly and reform the union unit within Downing Street. The reformed unit, the former Chancellor of the Exchequer claimed, will ensure "every single" government department operates UK-wide, despite key policy areas like education and health having been in the control of Holyrood since devolution in 1999.
The comments come after Sunak's opponent Liz Truss said she would "ignore" Sturgeon, whom she also described as an "attention seeker".
