Douglas Ross rips into Michael Matheson over iPad scandal as SNP STILL defend him

The Scottish Tories will seek to force Michael Matheson to resign in a vote next week, the party’s leader has said.

Douglas Ross accused the former health secretary of “deceit and abuse of trust” in the scandal over his near-£11,000 data roaming bill.

Speaking at First Minister’s Questions, Mr Ross hit out at the First Minister’s description of the process which recommended Mr Matheson be banned for 27 days and sacrifice 54 days of salary as “prejudicial”.

“That is incredible and indefensible by the First Minister,” Mr Ross said of Mr Swinney’s backing of his MSP.

“He told us when asking for our support to make him First Minister, he would be First Minister for all of Scotland.

“What Scotland is seeing is he’s a First Minister that backs his pals.”
