Douglas Ross, leader of the Scottish Conservatives, has announced his intention to step down following the election on July 4. This decision comes amid controversy over his use of Westminster expenses to fund travel for his role as a football linesman.
In a statement released on Monday, Mr. Ross reflected on his tenure and outlined his plans for the future. “I have served as MP, MSP and leader for over three years now and believed I could continue to do so if re-elected to Westminster, but on reflection, that is not feasible,” he said.
