Ross urged to whip Scottish Tory MPs against windfall tax extension

SNP MP Blackman says Conservative leader faces being ‘humiliated’ if he is alone in voting against levy

Douglas Ross has been warned he will be Scottish Tory leader in "name only" if he does not whip his MPs to vote against a windfall tax extension.

SNP MP Kirsty Blackman said the Moray MP faces being "humiliated" if he is the only Scottish Tory at Westminster to vote against the plans set out in Chancellor Jeremy Hunt's budget.
