the ultimate beneficiary of conservative infighting could be sir keir starmer. all tory mps want to avoid this, but will they be able to agree on how to do so? david wallace lockhart, bbc news, aberdeen. earlier i spoke to the msp neil gray, who s minister for culture, europe and international development and asked him if he detested the tories. i think it s no surprise to learn that the snp detest tory policies. we ve just heard, in fact, that many conservative mps themselves appear to detest where the current government is going and the chaos at the wrecking of the economy that liz truss has overseen, so i think that it is no surprise to learn that the snp would have major differences with the conservatives and what they stand for. i am going tojump in there, because differences is a far more diplomatic word to use. detest is very strong language, isn t it?
