Douglas Ross once said that “lying to parliament and breaking the ministerial code is a straight red”.
The Scottish Conservatives leader has now been challenged on why he called for Nicola Sturgeon to resign last year amid the Alex Salmond inquiry, but now seems to have backtracked on his view following the Prime Minister’s fine for attending a lockdown-busting party.
During the Salmond inquiry saga last year, Ross tweeted: “Lying to parliament and breaking the ministerial code is a straight red, even in the most lenient referee’s book.”
The First Minister was found by a cross-party panel of MSPs to have ‘misled Holyrood’ over her handling of sexual harassment complaints against her predecessor.
However, an independent inquiry cleared her of breaching the ministerial code.
During an appearance on Scotland Tonight on Tuesday, STV News’ political editor Colin Mackay challenged Ross as to why he’s not calling for Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak’s resignation as he did with Sturgeon.
Mackay stated: “And what you said in March 2021 was that ‘lying to parliament and breaking the ministerial code is a straight red’.
“You said that about Nicola Sturgeon. Why is it the situation for her, but not for the chancellor or Prime Minister?”
