HEATHER Graham’s article, “Sturgeon here to stay as Tories’ true colours revealed” (March 24), emphasises the scale of Ruth Davidson’s embarrassment having failed in her vote of no confidence in FM Nicola Sturgeon. The scale of the defeat was awesome and it is worth noting that of the 129 MSPs, only 31 supported Davidson’s motion. The real outcome was no confidence in Ruth Davidson’s judgement or leadership.

As to the consequences for our FM, it would appear that it there has been a a sizeable increase in numbers joining the SNP, an outpouring of personal support for Nicola Sturgeon and recognition of the leadership and commitment to the people of Scotland she has displayed during the pandemic.

In contrast, the Tories are offering Boris Johnson’s “leadership” qualities supported by Messer Gow, Hancock and Rees-Mogg! Surely not even Ruth Davidson is dumb enough to think that this would be acceptable to the people of Scotland.
