I LISTENED to Jacob Rees-Mogg on BBC Newsnight with the expected defence of his wounded leader, PM Johnson, and astoundingly putting down the Scot Tory leader, Douglas Ross, as being nothing more than a “lightweight figure” while praising the Secretary of State for Scotland, Alister Jack, who stupidly chose to back the PM regardless – spot the sycophant with no moral compass whatsoever; nothing new there!!
WATCH: Nicola Sturgeon's brilliant response to Tory 'disdain' for Douglas Ross
The grim-faced Rees-Mogg was also deriding the 31 Scot Tory MSPs who apparently back Ross’s stance in condemning Johnson and opining that the PM’s resignation is his only option out of this mess. I must say, “What a poor advert for the Union when one observes such a public squabble between supposed like-minded Unionist Tories”!!! Time to take sides, eh!! I reckon many senior Scot Tory officials and associates will be seething re these latest critical remarks from Rees-Mogg. Further repercussions to follow? One can only wait and see how this latest spat plays out, but all good from a Scotindy perspective – long may it continue!!

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
