A large crowd of noisy protesters gathered outside the Tory leadership hustings tonight shouting “Tories out” and calling Conservatives “scum”.
Saltire flags and a “TORY SCUM OUT” banner bedecked security railings that a handful of protesters were filmed briefly pushing past, before security closed the gap.
Tory MP and attendee Andrew Bowie, who attended the debate in Perth - the only one in Scotland before the new PM is elected - claimed there were “eggs being thrown” and “spitting at pensioners”.
