5. Miles Briggs – MSP  

“It is clear that the Prime Minister’s position is no longer tenable, he has lost the trust of the public, as well as the ability to credibly lead the United Kingdom through the difficult times we all face in the coming weeks, months and years,” he wrote on Twitter.

7. Donald Cameron – MSP  

“And rightly so. I support this call. The Prime Minister should step down,” he wrote on Twitter. 

8. Jackson Carlaw – MSP 

“People in Eastwood, and across the UK made enormous sacrifices to follow the rules. Given that the PM has now confirmed he attended a rule breaking gathering, he has lost the confidence of the country, so I believe Douglas has made the right call & that the PM should stand down,” he wrote on Twitter. 

9. Russell Findlay – MSP 

“Good on Douglas Ross for having the principles & guts to stand up for what is right (having done so previously over Dominic Cummings). The rules have been broken while people across the UK made immense sacrifices,”  he wrote on Twitter. 

10. Maurice Golden – MSP 

“People across the North East followed the rules and made hard sacrifices throughout the pandemic. The Prime Minister has lost their trust and that of the country.

12. Jamie Halcro Johnston – MSP

13. Craig Hoy – MSP

21. Brian Whittle – MSP

6. Grant Shapps, Transport Secretary

“I think the Prime Minister was very contrite today, he apologised and he took full responsibility,” he told Times Radio. 

7. Jacob Rees-Mogg, Leader of the House of Commons

“I think the Prime Minister has got things right again and again and again,” he said.
