As well as the flip flopping...

He was told off this week by the Presiding Officer for using props at FMQs (yes props - don't ask)

Somebody sent his son a toy gun and had it delivered to the Scottish Parliament, sparking a security scare.

He had a very public "difference of opinion" with Number 10 over who should be at the press conference today.

He said that the SNPs troubles at the moment had crashed the case for independence.

Just a normal week at Scottish Conservative HQ.

Go on tell us, what were the props - I’m imagining him with a sideshow tent on his head acting out a Punch and Judy show with glove puppets from the opposition benches, HIGNFY would have a field day!

Oh and just for good measure...

Last week Stephen Kerr MSP wondered on Twitter if transgenderism was linked to learning difficulties.

Flip flop.

Although I think Sunak and his shambolic ‘sort of, why don’t Scottish journalists know their place, why are you others nasty, sulking now I can’t get what I want, off, on but half-baked, you’re still not just asking what I want, damn your eyes’ press conference was worse

What has the repellent Ross done? Irrespective of his politics, there is something about him.....

Douglas Ross, Conservative, suggested tactical voting to oust the SNP at the next general election. Rishi Sunak suggested not to do that and that Conservatives should always vote for their own party.

Seems pretty obvious that telling voters to increase the Labour vote if that removes the SNP will result in a Labour victory in Westminster. So a doh moment in politics. Another one.

An explanation would be helpful for the rest of us.

Well for people in Scotland who know what he's been up to today, it is definitely news.

Sorry, is that news?

That Douglas Ross does my head in and the conservatives they’ll never get back in not in a million years
