Douglas Ross has announced he will resign as leader of the Scottish Conservatives after the election – and he could also quit his role as an MSP at Holyrood if he's voted into Westminster again as an MP.
Douglas Ross has announced he will resign as leader of the Scottish Conservatives after the election, and he could also quit his role as an MSP at Holyrood if he’s voted into Westminster again as an MP.

David Duguid has been in hospital recovering from a spinal injury, but insists he was well enough to stand. That is something that sparked fury in the local association and disbelief among many of Douglas Ross’s colleagues at Holyrood who were already, some of them, unhappy that he’s had three jobs – MP, MSP and also a part-time football linesman. Over the weekend then we’ve got some allegations in the paper that Mr Ross had been using Westminster expenses to cover some travel for that football job.
