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.

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!
