Simpson whinged MSP blanked him

SCOTTISH Tory leader Russell Findlay has branded Scotland's only Reform MSP a “bit of a snowflake” after he complained a former colleague would no longer look at him once he quit for Nigel Farages party.

Mr Findlay said he could “completely understand” why one of his MSPs would “not want to engage with someone who has committed such an act of treachery’.

His comments came after Graham Simpson, who defected to Reform UK in August, said while he had maintained good working relationships with most Tory MSPs, there was one who is “not even looking at me, let alone talking to me”.

In response to that Mr Findlay said his former MSP was “clearly a bit of a Reform snowflake”.
