Nicola Sturgeon says the resignation of Liz Truss after 45 days is 'beyond hyperbole and parody'.
: "There are no words to describe this utter shambles adequately. It's beyond hyperbole - and parody.
Ms Sturgeon said a general election was a necessity, but said it would not solve the "fundamental problem" for Scotland."So as long as we're part of this Westminster system, we're always going to be vulnerable to getting prime ministers we don't vote for, implementing policies that we don't support and do real damage to the country.
Sir Graham Brady, chairman of the 1922 backbench committee of Conservative MPs, confirmed a new leader would be in place by Friday 28 October. Ms Sturgeon has been joined by all of the non-Conservative party leaders in Scotland in calling for a general election. He said in a statement: "I wish Liz Truss and her family well. No matter where you stand on her decisions as prime minister, politics can be very tough on people personally."Mr Ross said that although the situation in Westminster was "poor", he did not believe it fuelled the case for Scottish independence."As leader of the party here in Scotland I'll work with whoever becomes the next leader," he said.
