Rennie comments ahead of Scottish Tory manifesto launch

Speaking ahead of the Prime Minister visiting Edinburgh to launch the Scottish Conservative manifesto with Douglas Ross, Scottish Liberal Democrat MSP Willie Rennie said:

"It's hard to tell who is having a worse campaign. From Rishi Sunak abandoning D-Day veterans to Douglas Ross facing an activist mutiny and questions over his expenses, it has been an absolutely torrid time for the Scottish Conservatives.

"Based on current form, if they launch their manifesto at a business it'll catch fire or on a farm it will get flooded.

"On July 4th voters have a chance to kick out out-of-touch Conservative MPs and replace them with hardworking Liberal Democrat champions for their communities."
