Scottish Tories accused of having nothing to offer the country at their manifesto launch

SCOTLAND’S Tories were accused of having nothing positive to offer the country today as they published their manifesto ahead of May’s Holyrood elections.
Scottish Conservative leader Douglas Ross said that creating jobs would be his party’s priority but warned that the country’s efforts to recover from the coronavirus pandemic would be “crippled” if the SNP continues to focus on independence.
Plans unveiled by Mr Ross include revising Scotland’s income tax threshold, which would increase the take-home pay of 1.1 million of the country’s richest residents.
