Ruth’s rather blunt quip
I caLL Ruth Davidson to say we spotted how well she did in the Scottish debates and we need her to do the massive Wembley arena debate at the end of the campaign. She’s immediately up for it. When I tell her angela Eagle is also being considered for the team, she gets straight to the point: ‘angela and I are very similar. are you sure you want two shovel-faced lesbians?’ Later Ruth (right) says I responded like an embarrassed Hugh Grant, muttering and bumbling.
