Scottish Conservatives leader Ruth Davidson backs Sajid Javid to be PM
THE LEADER of the Scottish Conservatives Ruth Davidson has backed Sajid Javid’s leadership campaign – declaring him “the real deal.”
Ms Davidson has been a longstanding critic of Mr Javid’s rival Boris Johnson, despite stating that she could live with BoJo as the Prime Minister.

She said that she backed Javid as the “man for the job” because he embodies “Conservative values”.
Ms Davidson added that he had “worked his way to a better life for himself and his family before walking away from a lucrative career in order to give back in public service to the country he loves and which offered his immigrant parents a home.”
Javid, who reportedly calls himself “The Saj”, last night told The Mail on Sunday: “Ruth knows a winner when she sees one.”
