Greens call for Douglas Ross to come clean on Liz Truss support
It is time for Scottish Tory Leader Douglas Ross to make clear whether he supports the failed economic agenda of Liz Truss and her Chancellor, according to the Scottish Greens.
The Scottish Greens finance spokesperson, Ross Greer MSP, said:
"Douglas Ross is well known for his indecision when it comes to supporting his party leaders, then not supporting them, then supporting them again. Just ask Boris Johnson.
"Where does he stand on Liz Truss now though? Does he support the extremist economic vandalism she is now inflicting on the country? Does he support the end of the bankers' bonus caps or the tax cuts for the rich which have cratered the value of pound sterling? Are these really the Scottish Tories' priorities when hundreds of thousands of people are being plunged into poverty and families are being forced to choose between freezing and starving?"
"The cost crisis is getting worse by the hour but rather than support the most vulnerable, the Tories are laser-focussed on making their rich friends even richer, and Douglas Ross has all but disappeared from view."
"Does he back the Prime Minister’s handling of the economy or not?”
