Top Tweets for #Ruth_Davidson
Rapturous reception given to #Scottish_Labour_group in Liverpool reminds me of #Ruth_Davidson, hailed as Scottish saviour of the Tories.
She was rewarded with a Lords seat, then vanished into sinecured oblivion, while Tories plunged in polls and their inept #PMs were booted out.

"Tory MSPs are led by his old adversary, #Ruth_Davidson, the kick-boxing baroness.
"The real leader of the Scottish Conservative Party is young #Douglas_Ross, a Westminster MP, who still looks like a boy come to do a woman's job."
This must rank as one of the great UK political PR cock-ups of the century.
But #Ruth_Davidson, #Sarah_Smith and #Jackson_Carlaw plus a posse of the kind of journalists #Kevin_McKenna so devastatingly delineated yesterday will ride to #Dominic and #Boris's rescue - or will they?
"Inside Downing Street, they believed they could see off damage from the story by focusing on Cummings’s wish to protect his son in case both he and his wife were struck down by the disease.
A source said: “They were saying, ‘The kid is the trump card.’”

Having thrived on the giddy sense of momentum after their 2017 results, the #Scottish_Tories are experiencing a skull-cracking hangover this weekend. The only silver lining is they won’t have to fish #Ruth_Davidson out of Loch Ness"
#Private_Eye's "Funny Old World" features a town in Pichucalco, Mexico that sends a cardboard cutout of the Mayor to functions he can't be bothered to attend.
Maybe #Ruth_Davidson could do likewise with her constituency surgeries and events?

#Ruth_Davidson crisis highlights a deeper problem in Scottish politics
"Here was the former leader of the Scottish Conservatives, already earning £63,579 as MSP for Edinburgh Central, set to make a hefty additional income of £50,000 for 24 days’ work a year."

"I saw this role" [at 2k per day] "as my opportunity to help businesses improve their offerings to staff, raise standards in the supply chain, increase diversity, and embrace environmental responsibilities."

#Tom_Gordon #Herald
"For a City of London PR firm that can pay someone £50,000 for working 24 days a year, and for someone who thinks they’re worth it, #Tulchan_Communications and #Ruth_Davidson don’t seem terribly good at this public relations lark."
#Tom_Gordon #Herald on #Ruth_Davidson
"That image has been replaced by a brazen corporate lobbyist mooching her way to the 2021 election while tapping taxpayers £63,579 a year as a part-time MSP for Edinburgh Central."
All the pundits are agreed on one thing -
#Ruth_Davidson's departure is a disaster for the Scottish Tory Party (which they're not, but might become, in their desperation).
Tories - a one-trick pony for eight years, and now the pony's out to pasture, no longer high-kicking to WM.
After #PM announced plans for an Oct #Queens_Speech - which would result in Parliament being suspended – Scot. Sec #Alister_Jack cancelled visit to Edinburgh, avoiding journalists.
#Ruth_Davidson refused to do any interviews and has refused to comment on the #prorogation move.
The #Lord_Ashcroft_poll, published this morning by Holyrood magazine, found that 44% of Scots viewed #Nicola_Sturgeon’s performance favourably.
The #FM’s approval ratings were well ahead of #Ruth_Davidson with 75% plus of Scots holding a negative view of #Boris_Johnson.
#RUTH_DAVIDSON POPULARITY PLUMMETS AMONG TORY GRASSROOTS
A survey of Tory party members has found that Ruth Davidson is now the least popular senior figure in the party. #Conservative_Home survey of party members found she was the lowest-ranked politician among the 35 included.
#Ruth_Davidson today exposed for denying calling #Boris_Johnson a liar – despite doing so in front of a 6,000-strong crowd at #Wembley_arena and #TV audience of 4m people.She told the #Today programme “I didn’t call him a liar. I said the people out there deserved the truth.”
143 Tory MPs voted for #Boris.
More will jump on his bandwagon as career expedience rules the day.
#Ruth_Davidson ( aka Ms. Career Expedience) has flipped to support him.
These facts tell you all you need to know about Tories and UK.
Wake up Scots - get us out of UK! #indyref2
This rebellion against #Ruth_Davidson follows her latest electoral humiliation, dragging her party into 4th place in EU elections with less than 12% of the vote in Scotland – her 5th defeat in a national election and the worst result since the formation of the Scottish Tories.
#Ruth_Davidson’s preferred candidate was #Sajid_Javid.
She announced after 2017 election that #Tory_MPs_group would vote as a bloc on her orders.
But signs are that she's now lost all control, with her MPs instead backing hard-line Brexiteers like #Boris and #Gove to become PM.
#Ruth_Davidson’s authority continues to seep away, with none of her Westminster team backing her choice for new Tory leader.
Out of the thirteen Scottish Tory MPs elected in 2017, not a single one has announced their support for Ruth Davidson’s preferred candidate #Sajid_Javid.
#Ruth_Davidson is now the #Scottish_Boris - spinning like a weathercock in a gale on policy and allegiances, self-contradictory by the moment, infatuated with her own superficial image, seeking to charm with a rictus instead of a smile ...
#Flip_Flop_Ruth
SNP: "#Ruth_Davidson has completed her journey from a staunch Remain advocate to a full-blown Brexiteer after backing a Tory candidate because he “voted for Brexit” and “can be trusted to deliver on the result of the 2016 EU referendum.”
