Scottish Conservative leader Douglas Ross refuses to call for PM's resignation

Douglas Ross says Boris Johnson should remain as PM because of the ongoing war in Ukraine

Speaking to the BBC, Mr Ross said the behaviour was "unacceptable" and the public were right to be angry.SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford called the report "utterly damning", adding that Tory MPs should remove Boris Johnson from office if he did not resign.But Douglas Ross said if the PM was ousted, then it would take months to replace him, which would "destabilise the situation and only help Vladimir Putin".

Mr Ross added: "Deliberately misleading parliament, if he is found guilty of that, there is very little option… for the prime minister to continue after that. In total, 83 people have been fined by the Metropolitan Police for breaking lockdown laws in Downing Street. He's still sticking by the prime minister, although he's said Boris Johnson would have little option but to resign if a separate Commons committee inquiry finds he's deliberately misled parliament.

now.....let me think, why are the tories doing so badly in Scotland......

Boris you and your party have done so much damage to British politics it probably won't recover. There is no trust in you and your party as the only people you care about is yourselves. We the public have learnt that rule breaking and lies is what we should be doing.

As a country we should be demanding it.

Good.

Partners in crime!

Of course he does. They drink from the same trough corrupt

Lightweight shiter👍

He's got nothing to loose now, Tories are ruined in Scotland.

A man who talks sense, Boris forever 👏 🙌 👌 👍

Of course he does, the crawling chinless bastard.

It is shameful that Johnson and his sycophants are trying to use Ukraine’s fight for survival as an excuse for allowing the worst PM in history to remain in post.

Not really significant in Scottish politics just another mouthy Tory!!
