Ex-Tory MP Causing Trouble In Scottish Parliament!

Douglas Ross, who is used to be a member of the House of Commons but lost his seat, still sits as an MSP. As a Tory he was part of the problem when it came to the sinking of public services in the UK and voted for policies to make not just England poorer, but Scotland too. When the First Minister of Scotland, John Swinney was explaing some of the cuts that will take place, he was hecked by MSP, one of them being Douglas Ross.

A tory pretending to care for anyone but themselves after 14 years of their decimating everyone in the UK but their rich chums, is like Glitter being outraged about Savile.

[stewartburns]

I’m no fan of John Swinney but to listen to Douglas Ross and Craig Hoy criticise the cuts that are being made is the ultimate hypocrisy and perfectly illustrates why the tories are an endangered species in Scotland

[ernestmostly]

Nice to see you covering Scotland Max,

Ross is a disgrace and maybe this is why he lost his seat in Westminster is now causing trouble in the Scottish Parliament. He is a disgrace and 'not fit for purpose'

[IndyBrainWave]

Douglas Ross was reported to have shouted "Enjoy your choices", amongst other interjections from his seat. It goes beyond merely causing the problems then sitting back; he's actively demonstrating a level of malice in forcing Holyrood into impossible choices regarding budget cuts, and the inevitable bad press that will follow.

Wee Dougie 3 jobs. He sat in both Parliaments did nothing in both and worked part time as a professional football official. Yeah a referee and not a player. He joined the Tories from the Lib Dems because he thought he had a better shot at being leader. Just like his predecessor Ruth Davison who was basically a voiceover actress for the BBC although she claims she was a journalist.
He WASN’T elected in Holyrood. He got his seat through the proportional representation system. His wife is a cop maybe he doesn’t get to open his mouth except at work. He’s been called out by a school friend for bullying girls. He’s a weasel.

He never left the Scottish parliament he was an mp an msp a foot ball linesman & leader of the Scottish tories. He’s a grifter who conveniently didn’t declare all his earnings from all his jobs.

Block grant - where Scotland gets around 1/4 back, of all revenue it produces for Westminster. And still the Scots get told that England is supporting them !!! Scotland - England’s last colony !!!

The man who stabbed his mate in the back in an attempt to get a job in Westminster

[ukparliamentfocus]

Jacob Rees-Mogg famously called Ross a "lightweight". It's not often I agree with that 18th-century haunted pencil.

[robinmoore]

He got dropped onto a safe seat and we still voted him out.
I don't understand why he's still in parliament.

[allancraig]

DRoss has done nothing for the people of Scotland!

[paulphillips]

The fans at a Celtic -St Mirren match had him pegged while he was doing his third job as a linesman "VAR decision...Douglas Ross is a C**T". I never tire of watching it on You Tube.

The Capital element of the Block Grant has also been cut by 9%, meaning less infrastructure can be built. Since austerity Wales and Scotland have suffered 11% of Block Grant cuts in real terms.

When the Labour MP's in Westminster voted to means test Winter fuel they effectively voted for a cut of £160 Million to the Scottish budget - If they do not invest in English NHS there is no money for Scottish NHS

[roberttewnion]

I wish more people in Scotland understood this.

[jimso]

D.Ross probably the most hated man in Scotland and for good reason.

[Freakscene]

You can take the Tory yob out of Westminster but you can't take Westminster out of the Tory yob.

[johncarney]

Thank you. Once again you tell it like it is here in Scotland and it always strikes me that you in Italy and know better than many Scots HOW things work between the devolved administrations and WM.

[Janos]

The moment Max started the Gullis comparison, I thought "It'll be Douglas Ross". It always is.
