RISHI Sunak was in Scotland on Monday for the launch of the Scottish Conservative manifesto.
Instead of listing policies which the Tories might enact if they pull off a miracle and manage to win the Westminster General Election in just ten days’ time, that manifesto almost exclusively focused on devolved issues.
In fact, the Tories mentioned the SNP at a rate of more than once per page – which if nothing else is a pretty impressive show of inability to stand on your own merit.
But while the soon-to-be-former Prime Minister was north of the Border telling Scots what he thinks they should hear, The National thought it only fair that Scots get their chance to do the same.
So, with that in mind, we hit the streets of Glasgow to find out what message the people of Scotland’s largest city would like Sunak to hear.
Unfortunately, several of the responses were too explicit to publish – but with the help of a couple of well-placed beeps we got some of the best reactions rounded up into one video.
You can see what Scots wanted to tell Rishi Sunak here:
The Tory leader will be hoping those sentiments aren’t reflected across the whole of the UK come election time on July 4.
However, if polling is anything to go by, they just might be.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
