Russell Findlay Elected New Scottish Tory Leader
After a mud-slinging leadership contest between three candidates, former crime correspondent and current Tory MSP for the West of Scotland Russell Findlay has taken the Scottish Tory leadership. Findlay backs tax cuts and “a proper Conservative vision for Scotland.” Will he be able to beat his centrist party to put that vision forward?
