Ruth Davidson: Tories face Brexit 'wake-up call'

Ruth Davidson has warned that the two main Westminster parties will suffer the wrath of voters in the EU elections unless they 'get Brexit sorted'. The Scottish Conservative leader admitted that the Tories and Labour had been given an 'almighty kicking' in English local elections. But she predicted that they will be given an even bigger 'wake-up call' in the European election on 23 May. She urged the two parties to find a compromise so the UK can 'move on'. Her speech to the conference was her first major public appearance since the birth of her son Finn in October. The Conservatives lost more than 1,300 seats in the council election and Labour lost 82 as the Liberal Democrats, Greens and independents surged across England.
