RUTH Davidson has been urged to resign after it emerged she was paid £7500 on top of her Holyrood salary to appear as a pundit on ITV’s election night show.

The former Scottish Tory leader scooped the fee for her role in the broadcaster’s coverage on December 12.

NOTES for context:

(National Living Wage stands at £8.21 (per hour) for over-25s:

Col. Davidson faced criticism last year after accepting a further paid job as a consultant to a London PR firm, whilst still drawing her MSP salary and expenses. The plan was dropped.

The MSP, who earns around £64,000 a year at Holyrood, has also been tipped for the House of Lords.

She has been nominated for a peerage and has expressed an interest in sitting in the Lords.

£7,500 for a single election night chat? – Nice work if you can get it, eh? – Wonder if she has ever got around to holding a constituency surgery yet?)
