Douglas Ross told the BBC host he would take him 'off the air' if he could change one thing at the corporation
Ross was speaking to the BBC the day after the close of the Scottish Tory conference, which was held at Glasgow’s SEC.’ big pitch to voters made at that conference to insulate every household in Scotland. Specifically, Ross was quizzed on how much that would cost.
Questioned on Downing Street’s attempts to restrict access to the Prime Minister to a small number of hand-picked outlets, Ross said he accepted it “could have been handled better”.But the Scottish Tory defended Rishi Sunak, saying he was “upbeat” and “robust” and had spent lots of time speaking to party members.
Almost an hour later, as a result of negotiations between journalists and No 10, aides said Sunak would speak, taking questions from the six initially invited, and also do a pooled broadcast interview. Ross said he personally undertook “90 minutes of media interviews” after his own speech at the conference. Ross’s huddle with print media lasted around 25 minutes. He did broadcast interviews afterwards.
