This is a bit odd from the Scottish Conservatives. Duguid says he wanted to stand but has been blocked by the Scottish Conservatives, while the Scottish Conservatives say he is unfortunately not able to stand and they are not putting him forward.
On the BBC it says he’s still in hospital and they’ve not selected him on health grounds. The guy has been seriously ill so maybe he’s not thinking about his own health and maybe underestimating how much it will take out him
I think his seat was removed, and he wanted another one. Less bad than just throwing someone out from where they had won before because now they’re hospitalised. But still a bad look where they said he was unable to stand which wasn’t true.
