Boris Tries to Woo Scotland With £300m Funding Boost After Brexit as He Turbo-Charges No Deal Plans

He will meet with First Minister Nicola Sturgeon this afternoon and Scots Tory boss Ruth Davidson too.
The leader of the Scottish Conservatives will hold a tense chat with him - after she slammed his No Deal plans yesterday.
In an article for the Scottish Mail on Sunday she quipped: “I don’t think the government should pursue a no-deal Brexit and, if it comes to it, I won’t support it.”
In the coming days Boris will do a whistle-stop tour of the UK with trips to Wales and Northern Ireland too.
But today he was met with protests when he arrived in Glasgow.
The meeting with Ms Sturgeon is expected to take place at her official residence of Bute House in Edinburgh.
Sources claim First Minister Ms Sturgeon set out her “strong opposition” to a cliff-edge EU exit in a phone call with Mr Johnson.
After Boris Johnson was appointed Prime Minister she insisted a second Scottish independence referendum was “more essential than ever”.

The PM still polls disastrously in Scotland – a problem that dates back to 2004 when, as editor of the Spectator, he published a poem calling for the “extermination” of the “verminous Scottish race”.
A YouGov poll claimed three quarters of Scottish people believe he is incompetent.

This brilliant grilling method combines the low and slow cooking of traditional barbecue with the high heat charring practiced at steakhouses.
