Launching her new ConservativeHome column, the Scottish Conservative and Unionist leader makes an appeal to middle ground voters.
The party’s position looks incomparably strong, but the conditions necessary to sustain its current coalition increasingly appear temporary.
The Scottish Tory leader is an asset to the Remain camp. And her stance signals a troubling trend in her Party.
Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party can not be trusted to champion the Union
Also: Plaid savage Welsh Labour’s record (but guarantee to keep them in office); and an SNP plan to fix alcohol prices risks EU’s wrath.
Also: Davies attacks Plaid for effectively guaranteeing Labour rule in Wales; NI Conservatives damn UUP for quitting government; and Scottish far left launch new party.
Also: Villiers ‘unsurprised’ that Provisional IRA still exists; Scottish Labour tacks left in scramble for 2016; and Corbyn will comfort Old Labour dinosaurs in Wales.
Also: Northern Ireland welfare reform talks deadlock; Jones attacks reserved powers proposals as ‘pre-devolutionary’; and NI21 tragedy just won’t end.
Also: Jones allies with Sturgeon on EU; SNP set to storm Scottish elections; opposition grows to Welsh e-cig ban; and SDLP leader to resign Stormont seat.
The Scottish Conservatives only held their single seat at the General Election, but do the 2016 and 2020 elections offer the prospect of breakthrough?
Also: Knives out for two more Labour leaders – Murphy in Scotland and Jones in Wales.
The threat posed by Scottish Nationalists to the Union has had the beneficial consequence of reinvigorating the Scottish Conservatives.
Also: Calls for referendum as NI Assembly votes down gay marriage by two votes; and Jones and Davidson join the debate on EVEL.
Plus: This week’s focus groups in Glasgow, Paisley and Edinburgh; and who would play whom in Nicola Sturgeon: The Movie?
Opportunities for Scotland’s Conservatives lie ahead – if the right organisation and resources can be found.
