Responding to the news that 148 Tory MPs voted against Boris Johnston, an astonishing 41% of all Conservative MPs, Scottish Greens co-leader Patrick Harvie said:
“The overwhelming majority of the public have recognised for some time that Boris Johnson is unfit for office.
“This vote shows that an ever-increasing number of Tory MPs share that view, at least in so far as it relates to their own self-interest.
“It is also remarkable that the self-styled ‘minister for the Union’ appears to have lost the confidence of his Scottish Tory MPs.
“It’s only a matter of time before Douglas Ross accepts what many of us have known for a long time: that Westminster simply doesn’t get Scotland.”
