Judge Tory MPs on record

Sir, - I was interested to read that Ruth Davidson May 9) asked: “What have the 54 SNP MPs done for Scotland?”

It is a valid and reasonable question. We should look at the track record and policies of all political parties to help us decide which way to vote.

Let us start with the record of the Conservative Party who have been in power for the last seven years in Britain.

Let us look south of the border to see what they have achieved: record numbers of homeless people, schools asking parents for donations to pay for teachers, social care in crisis, cuts to council services, increasing numbers of children living in poverty, increasing inequality in society, tax cuts for the rich and wages at a standstill for the majority.

The NHS is in crisis (ready to be privatised no doubt) and increasing numbers of people are using foodbanks. The 330 Tory MPs have been very busy. Judged on this record perhaps there should be fewer rather more Tories at Westminster Ms Davidson?
