You might well think these comments have been made by any Labour party supporter, and probably a lot more besides, however in this case it was a senior Tory.

Ruth Davidson, the Conservative leader in Scotland, has warned her own party that they need to, echoing the words of the ghost of PMs past, “chillax.”

On Monday Ms Davidson said “Sometimes as Tories we just look a bit dour.”

“We look a bit joyless – is that fair? A bit authoritarian sometimes.

“We don’t get to win if we start hectoring the people that we need to vote for us.

“We’ve got to learn to be a bit more joyful – and that’s something that I think we have tried to learn in Scotland.”

She continued: “It’s not just what you say but it’s what you can show people.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
