David Cameron will take his entire Conservative Shadow Cabinet to Scotland this month, as it emerged that the Tories face a new electoral threat to their already embattled support north of the Border.
With the party showing little sign of making any progress in this year’s election to the devolved Parliament in Edinburgh, the Conservatives are to launch a campaigning blitz across Scotland. Mr Cameron and his Cabinet will hold a formal meeting in Edinburgh on January 18. But Shadow ministers will be ordered to fan out across Scotland to woo voters, in the hope of increasing the number of Tory MSPs from 17. Polls indicate that the Tories will struggle to keep their representation at Holyrood. They have only one MP from Scotland at Westminster.
Can Mr Cameron shake up the moribund Scottish Tories? Could he make them look even vaguely - what is the word - modern?
