ALISTER “suck it up” Jack is a po-faced nonentity whose time as Secretary of State for Scotland amounts to a dereliction of duty. Scotland has never benefited one iota from his stewardship.

Slavishly devoted to Boris Johnson, who promoted him out of anonymity, Alister Jack is an arrogant, self-serving dullard who exhibits all the worst traits of a tone-deaf snob.

While worried pensioners and cash-strapped families will struggle to pay skyrocketing energy and food bills, this grasping, shameless individual made £20 million from a storage unit rental firm. Jack also owns a 1200-acre estate in the Borders.

Such is his greed that Alister Jack is sucking up taxpayers’ cash in expenses for his second home to the tune of £4059.54 over three years.

This is proof positive that the Tories are only concerned with the acquisition and management of money.

The plight of the British public comes in a far distant second place.
