TORY LEADER IN EAST LOTHIAN
East Lothian Conservatives were delighted to welcome Leader of the Scottish Conservatives, Ruth Davidson, MSP as guest speaker at their Annual Dinner held at the Open Arms in Dirleton last Thursday.
Ruth spoke about the imminent publication of the SNP’s White Paper and said that if Alex Salmond doesn’t reveal in it whether he would hike taxes or cut public spending then it will be nothing more than a glorified wish list.
She commented, “Expert after expert has lined up to warn the SNP’s economic plans do not add up and would fail to balance the books.
“Yet, Alex Salmond thinks that he can wish away the hard spending choices that would have to be made under separation.”
Ruth then answered a number of questions on a variety of subjects ranging from the impact on business and farming to nuclear power and Trident.
