Is Ruth Davidson the saviour of the Tories?

THOUGH Ruth Davidson must be congratulated on her excellent General Election result in Scotland, I find it incomprehensible that she appears to be holding the Government to ransom over demands for a soft Brexit. Does she seriously intend to instruct the Scottish Tory MPs to vote against the Government if her demands are not met? By doing this, she could open the door for Jeremy Corbyn to enter No 10. DAVID MORGAN, Shrewsbury, Shrops. IN A lacklustre General Election campaign, where politicians seemed more interested in their own power struggles than doing what is best for the country, there was one shining light: Ruth Davidson. She led the Scottish Conservatives to a fabulous result in a Westminster election from a standing start, thanks to her sheer energy, determination, commitment and likeable personality. No wonder the bookies are tipping her as a future prime minister.

e. STAFFORD, Maidenhead, Berks. IT FEELS as if we are being held to ransom by the Scots. Their Conservative leader Ruth Davidson thinks she holds the balance of power over the Government with her 12 MPs. As well as voting in the House of Commons on issues that do not directly affect them, Scots get far more allowances than the English, and even our clocks are shifted back and forth to suit them.
