DOUGLAS Ross certainly believes in pressing the self-destruct button, as witnessed at FMQs on Thursday!

He had the audacity to suggest that the policies of the Scottish Government are causing sky-rocketing inflation and insecurity in the mortgage market, putting jobs under threat and resulting in no security in the pensions sector.

Outrageous suggestions considering the consequences we have all witnessed as a result of the recent mini-Budget from his Conservative government at Westminster.

The resultant sinking markets, pensions only hours away from crashing and rising mortgage rates, are all as a result of Conservative policies from Westminster. Mr Ross’s breathtaking arrogance is the Conservatives in action!

Thankfully Scotland’s First Minister was more than capable of setting the record straight, pointing out that there is no economic security for Scotland while Westminster hold the purse strings.
