Kemi Badenoch: “This is not what we do. We are just taxing and taxing. The government has run out of ideas. There's no imagination.”

He has spent the week boasting about how he wants to cut the costs of his bloated civil service in Scotland, but at the same time he’s committed to wasting more taxpayers’ money and time on opening more of his fake embassies.

I don't want to see a tourism tax. Not in a conservative council, not in a Labour council.

Instead, he’s shamefully once again preferring to grandstand on the international stage at a time when Scots are sick of paying more but getting less.

We have people who live in areas that are quite expensive and if people need local housing allowance they will need to move somewhere cheaper.
