Westminster Conservatives will find a suggestion that Scottish voters support Labour hard to stomach, says Sky's Rob Powell. But it's hard to discern exactly what Mr Ross was driving at after some backtracking when he spoke to Sky News.
"I will always urge Scottish Conservative voters to vote Scottish Conservative," came the stock reply from Mr Ross.What's for sure is this isn't nearly as explicit a response as the Tories have put out from their central office.
Westminster Conservatives know that Sir Keir Starmer's route to Downing Street runs straight through Scotland.That's why the comments were met with such an abrupt reply from Tory central office this weekend.Given Labour voters helped Mr Ross win his Moray constituency, some will conclude he's simply trying to look after his own flock.
Perhaps another case of when the priorities of UK Tories are at a mismatch with those of the party in Scotland.
