DOUGLAS Ross has insisted he had “absolutely nothing to do with” the decision to block David Duguid from standing in the General Election, saying it was down to the management board of the Scottish Tory party – on which he sits.
Douglas Ross denied the Conservatives had 'sacked a man on his sickbed' after he replaced David Duguid as a General Election candidate.He said: “The party management board looked at the situation with David's current health and the prognosis going forward immediately for a four-week election campaign and further for hopefully the next five years.
"The people of Aberdeenshire North and Moray East deserve a representative who prioritises their needs, protects their livelihoods, and works tirelessly for their future, not someone who is only interested in their own personal ambition and financial gain.and the cost-of-living crisis. Meanwhile, Douglas Ross – not content with his salary as an MSP, salary as party leader and salary as a linesman – is now seeking an extra salary from the public purse.
