Positive policies?

Ruth Davidson said she has “plenty to aim at” in her weekend conference speech. No doubt about that, but does she have the ammo?

After eight years as leader, observing the SNP’S deluded trudge to Indyref2 and 12 years of sub-optimal governance, it should be like shooting fish in a barrel. But after early successes, the needle is stuck at around 20 per cent behind the SNP in the Holyrood 2021 polls. Voters like her style – but where are the election-winning, Scotland-transforming policies on jobs, medicine, education, housing, elderly and social care or, indeed, local solutions to enable benefit claimants to work on fruit farms, a vote winner if ever I saw one.

Of course she will, and has to, engage in Snp-bashing, but people want something to vote FOR, not just against. ALLAN SUTHERLAND Willow Row, Stonehaven
