       A senior Tory has outlined his simple plan to win back votes that went to Reform UK in the last general election, which resulted in a heavy defeat for the Conservatives.

       Reform experienced a surge of support during the July election, with five candidates – including leader Nigel Farage - entering Parliament.

       A YouGov poll this week exposed a considerable split within the Tories on what the party should do next to reclaim support, with one in four members voicing their support for a merge with Reform.

       But Scottish Tories Shadow Justice Secretary Russell Findlay insisted he has a plan to win back voters who have left the party - one that doesn't even mention Nigel Farage at all.

       Writing in the Scottish Daily Express, Mr Findlay said significant change is necessary to ensure the party's success in Scotland and the UK.

       The top Tory, who is hoping to succeed Douglas Ross as the next leader, wrote: "We must provide practical and tangible solutions that help to improve the lives of people up and down Scotland.

       "We can't just say the same old things, we need fresh thinking and an entirely new approach."

       He argued the party will need to move away from "enormous promises that they'll never deliver" as he noted Reform voters are "completely fed up" with being let down.

       Mr Findlay insisted rebuilding trust in the Conservatives will be his top priority, as he expressed his own "dismay" with Holyrood's failure to address the main concern of citizens.

       "I know how deeply and passionately they care about our country and how disappointed they are by the lack of effective action in the Scottish Parliament. But I'm never going to give up on those voters. I believe I can earn back their trust."

       He concluded: "As leader, I would reconnect our party with the Conservative values we should be championing.

       "And I'd reach out to all those who just want their voices to be heard and their concerns to be taken seriously. That's the change that I would deliver."
