YOUR front page headline, “Davidson hints at bid to be an MP in future return to politics” and Andrew Learmonth’s article, “Davidson eyes up Westminster seat” (December 9) make interesting reading.
It could suggest that the former leader of the Scottish Conservatives is expecting that on Thursday the Scottish Tories will lose many of their Scottish seats. She can rightly claim that as she was not the leader of the party, therefore the blame lies with Boris confused.com Johnson.

Unfortunately for Ruth Davidson she will be remembered for her anti-all-things-Scottish approach, which may be appreciated by the hierarchy of the party in London.
Perhaps she should face the reality that she has been a political failure, and seek new opportunities in the private sector where she will have to earn her salary as distinct from living off of the Scottish taxpayers!

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
