Daily Record Political Editor Paul Hutcheon says it is highly likely the new Scottish Tory leader will be off after the next Holyrood election.
Russell Findlay is the sixth Scottish Tory leader of the devolution era. The smart money is on him making way for number seven in less than two years.
Nigel Farage’s Reform party, which trounced the Scottish Tories in many constituencies on July 4, is forecast to win seats off their centre-right rival at Holyrood. Ruth Davidson was a successful leader of the Scottish Tories, but she was hopeless in her first couple of years and was lucky not to face an early election. Findlay has no breathing room and has to lead his wounded party into an election that is galloping into view.
