Douglas Ross,Scottish Conservative Party

Daily Record Political Editor Paul Hutcheon says Ross came off worst in the second debate of the Scottish political leaders.

Traditional blood sports are banned in Scotland, but Douglas Ross was hunted down by political rivals in the BBC leaders’ debate.But they and the audience rounded on the hapless Scottish Tory leader on the cost of living crisis and he struggled to run away.

Sarwar said he held the Tories “wholly” responsible for the economic “carnage” faced on a daily basis. But his meek TV performance shows he is more like a Scottish version of Frank Spencer from Some Mothers do ‘Ave Them - a whimpering, indecisive wreck.Sarwar’s party is in line to take dozens of seats off the Nationalists and the BBC showdown included angry clashes between Swinney and Sarwar.
