Ms Davidson is reported to feel 'increasingly at odds with the new leadership in London.'
Insiders in the party say she is also struggling to balance her duties with the pressures of parenthood, after becoming a mum in October.
A spokesman said Ms Davidson, who took the reins of her party in November 2011, will ‘make her position clear in due course’.‘She has been under huge pressure as a new mum. Nobody really fully understands how your life is going to change as a parent until it happens. Ruth is no different in this respect.‘She’s tried to juggle motherhood with being the very high-profile leader of the opposition in Scotland, and it’s taken its toll.
Ms Davidson, 40, was widely hailed for improving the image of the party in Scotland and was tipped as a future leader of the UK party. She campaigned for Remain in the 2016 European referendum and clashed with Johnson over the issue of the UK’s future membership of the EU.Ms Davidson went up against Johnson in a televised referendum debate at Wembley Stadium in 2016.
